Dear Sheryl:
All is great. I'm following your advice and keeping him separated from the other pets. (We're watching James Bond films from the '60's.) He's very active and is gaining weight.(3 lbs. on arrival. 3.6 lbs. at vet yesterday. A-Ok at vet. Everyone is amazed at how beautiful he is.)

I decided to name him Tom Terrific; tommy for short. Tom Terrific was a cartoon familiar only to the 55 to 60 year old crowd.(My group.)

I am thrilled with my cat and very pleased with you, your cattery and all aspects of this transaction.

Sincerely,
Mary Alice, owned by Tom Terrific - SBT Bengal 11/07

Hi Sheryl,

I just have to thank you again for Tessa!  She is just the cutest kitten out there!  So well socialized!  Ysabella had to go to the groomer, and this is a groomer who raises Rotties, and this woman just went nuts over Tessa!  Even her employee, who isn’t a “Cat-person” got a kick out of her!  Then, while Ysabella was getting groomed, I took Tessa to my personal trainer, and again, everyone went nuts over her!  She and Ysabella are getting along well.  I’m slowly introducing them in ˝ hour to 1 hr intervals.  Ysabella adores her, but only wants to be “touched” by Tessa on her terms.  She does a little warning rumble—not a growl, but a rumble, and Tessa knows.  Funny how these guys understand each other.  They are both so intrigued with each other!  Tessa knows to not walk across her, but at the same time, when they play, Ysabella chases her around the house, and then Tessa will sneak up on her and attack her leg, and that’s ok J.  Right now, Tessa is on the table watching me type, attacking my hands, and Ysabella is on the floor beneath us.  In time, they truly will be best buds!

 Enjoy your weekend! 

PS:  She is getting so big!  I can’t believe how fast she is growing!

Sheryl,

Dash is doing fabulous. He's hysterical and the most loveable cat I've ever known! Puma and him love each other so much. Within the first 5 minutes of their orientation, they were playing! Within 1 full day being together, they were sleeping with one another! We are so happy for Puma and glad we decided to get her a friend. She is a completely different cat. She is much calmer and has taken on this motherly role and watches out for Dash. If he cries in another room she will run to find him, walk up to him and bathe him, etc. She doesn't demand our attention as much anymore since she has a new best friend. Puma still has to hiss at him every now and then because he doesn't know when to stop playing :)

Dash has an obsession with water. He knocks over our glasses so he can play with water! It's hard to be mad at him when it's just too funny and cute. He wakes me up in the middle of the night or morning purring and cuddling so close he tickles my face with his whiskers. You were completely right when saying he’s the most lovable and friendly cat. Dash wants to be involved with everything we do so he can be with us.

Thanks again for raising such an amazing cat. He’s really brought us so much joy to our lives, but more importantly, Puma is happier than we are!

Best,

Jill and Bryce owned by Dash and Puma - SBT Bengals 6/07

Just wanted to give you an update on Kimura. He always uses his litter box, he fetches toys, and he's getting big! The only problem we've had are the 5:00 am play times lol. Thanks for a very fun cat.

She is doing great, lots of energy and love, I think she will be a great fit.  I think we are going to call her Ghost, my wife is the namer in the family.  She is really doing great and no sighs of stress until my 6 year old enters the room, it will take a little time for him to get the rules down but he is coming along,  thanks for the check in and for the great little wiry girl.

Logan is the biggest love bug ever! He's shameless about cuddling up to me when I'm watching TV or even when I'm on my computer. He has to have his "Logan time" when he climbs on me and insists that I cradle him like a baby. Then it's all purring and leaning back like he's in a spa. He gives Troy a run for his money too. They love to play together. He's huge too. He's about as long as Troy but easily half again Troy's weight. And his markings are more pronounced than I've seen in any photos of seal lynx snows. All my friends fall in love with him when they see him. Thanks again for everything.

I can’t begin to tell you how much I’ve fallen in love with Victory since I’ve gotten her 2 weeks ago! Nor can I count how many times a day she makes me laugh out loud because of her funny personality! I catch myself spending lots of time watching her. Victory adopted my German Shepherd almost immediately and they have been playing for several days now. She is almost like a puppy because she follows me from room to room! I’m so happy I bought her- It’s the best to come home from work and she is mischievously there to great me! Thank You so much!

Sheryl,
Made it home just fine and our boy has used his litter box and had some food and water tonight so we're off to a great start.  He is an absolute lover boy  - non-stop purrs, head-butts and body rubs!!! Thought you might enjoy these pics... busy thinking about a special name for such a special boy!

Sheryl,
He is wonderful - completely relaxed and settled and follows me round like a puppy! If I'm sitting down he's in my lap! Loves to sleep with me curled up next to me with his head on the pillow took him to the vet to get him started with our care and he weighed 6.1 lbs! The vet said that little lump I mentioned to you was due to the rabies shot so no surprise there. He eats a lot and already looks a little bigger to me. He seems fearless and curious about everything. But no matter where he goes or what he does, he always comes back every few minutes for purrs and body rubs. He likes to touch noses and is very gentle with his claws when he plays. He is faster than my other cats, more fearless and more wanting of cuddles. So he's perfect! Will send you some cute pics from the laptop! Are all Bengals this affectionate?

Hi Sheryl, 

They are doing wonderfully. Just got the camera – so should have some pics for you by tomorrow hopefully – weekend at the latest! They are amazing – and play brilliantly together….have tons of toys and are eating and drinking water wonderfully – 4 x a day small portions. Both are filling out very nicely as they get that bit older now I guess – like you said – growth spurts. They are great with Alexis and constantly with my folks…. They now have the run of the house …..galloping everywhere. I will catch up with you soon. Thanks for keeping in touch. 

I will call you sometime and tell you more – they are quite brilliant! 

Leo- Bengal guy and Bengal - Bengal girl are doing brilliantly. They are beautiful...in every way!

Eating really well...4 x a day small portions of fillet and chicken breast personally minced by my Mom and Dad and personally nurturing them ..... and also with dry food available but they have tiny teeth and the dry food is soooo hard! Drinking well and using litter box!!

They are seeing our vet on Tuesday and I will obviously follow up with you on that meeting. They are AMAZING!

My digital camera comes in soon - I will send pics ...better still would also love to add my comments to your website.

I will call you soon. You have my absolute and full support - I will give you a personal reference anytime.

The other night I was busy on my computer at home and he began scratching at the balcony door to be let out.  I only let him out on the balcony when I am out there with him so I lowered my voice and said, "No!"  This normally works.  After several more attempts, I scolded him more forcefully.  He went onto my dresser and tossed several coins from my spare change tray onto the floor.  So I scolded him with a forceful "NO!" and slammed a pillow on the floor for emphasis.  He trotted off and I ignored him.  A little while later I hear this sliding sound, and at first I ignored it, but then saw that he had dragged his bed out from under my bed and was struggling to take it out into the hallway.  I noticed that he had his coiled "slinky rat" toy and a paper ball that we play "fetch" with in the bed.  The first thing I thought to say was, "Oh I see you're moving out?  Well, goodbye!"  It was so cute.  It was like something a child would do when he's mad at his parents.  He slept out in the hallway that night, but the next day he decided to move the bed into my bathroom.  I guess he wanted to "come home" and make up.  He is just amazing.

He's gotten quite big, he can now jump OVER tables, beds, recliners, etc.

"Busy" isn't the word...lol.  His favorite game is "fetch", with whatever he's playing with at the time - just throw it, and he flies, brings it back at a brisk little trot - it's SO funny to watch him - but if you don't pay attention right after he brings it back - WATCH OUT, somebody's toes are going to get "noticed" :o)

He's a joy - we both love him to death.  His coat is just perfect, smooth and soft, and it looks amazing with the silver and his markings, just beautiful!

He has exceeded all my expectations.  The bigger he gets, the more clearly defined his markings become, and with his square muzzle and bright golden eyes, he really looks like the pictures I have seen of Asian Leopard Cats.  His behavior is exactly as the books describe Bengals to be.  He learned to fetch a paper ball all on his own, and it's his favorite game.  He jumps into the shower with me, and I have to watch out not to step on him because he likes to be right under the running water with me.  He loves to climb, sometimes onto my shoulder when I am typing at my computer or watching television, and I am starting to teach him to wear a leash harness, although I admit I have little occasion to "walk" him since I don't want him to want to go outside.  He is very vocal, and his voice is beautiful and musical, and my friends say he sounds halfway between a kitten and a puppy.  He's also big.  At five months he is as big as my friend's full grown Cornish Rex.  Best of all is his personality.  He's extremely active and interactive.  He is the perfect little companion, without being overly needy, but always there to keep me company.  As much as I love my other cat, I am now hooked on the Bengal breed, and I think all of my cats from now on will be Bengals.  Thank you.

Hi, We are all doing well here. Amber is almost a full grown girl, I can hardly believe  it! The other day she went to the dry cleaner with me in her new bag. Was such a good girl, and Frank, the dry cleaner owner, just loved her. He was tickled that I brought her in with me and was impressed that she wore a harness like a dog would.   Kelly - owned by Amber SBT Bengal Hi, Just wanted to let you know we made it home with no problems. Grace and Spotty curled up and went to sleep right away. Little tyke sat up and yelled at me through the cage door for a good half hour...he wanted out! Then he finally fell asleep for the rest of the ride. I set them up in the guest bathroom that I turned into a kitten playground and of course Grace was the first one out and she immediately grabbed a toy and started purring! Then the other two wandered out of the carrier and within five minutes they were running around like crazy cats playing with the toys and climbing the post and  jumping from the carrier to the toilet seat into the tub and back out. My cats laid on the floor out side the bathroom the whole time I was in with the kittens and they did peep at each other under the door, but no significant reaction. Just curiosity so far. They played pretty hard for a couple hours and then all three crawled back into the carrier in the bed and fell asleep. I left them alone but I'm checking on them every hour. We'll probably have one or two more play sessions before I go to sleep.  I think they are doing great, much more relaxed than I expected. I'll send some photos tomorrow. Thanks for raising such good babies!   Jennifer - Owned by Grace, Spotty and Prince Charming - SBT Bengals
