the miracle of life/bengal kittens

I got an Bengal cat last summer, and they are smart! Your kitten's spots are much more defined than mine.
congratulations!
 
You guys wouldn't believe how many calls I've got from wacko Texans asking for a male and a female FROM THE SAME LITTER so they can start breeding them.
 
$2000 for a frakkin' kitten?!? Even $500 sounds steep.
The shelters are full of nice kittens, all waiting to be adopted.
 
Tim, maybe those in the shelters cats don't have spots. ;)

I can't stand going to a shelter and seeing all those cats and dogs penned up. It's heart breaking knowing I can't take them all home and save them. It makes me sick to know their fate, and I leave faster than I walked in. Yeah, I'm an old softie when it comes down to it.

As strongly as I believe in controlling the pet population, I also strongly believe that the heritage and good health of purebred animals must be maintained. Too many of our world's beautiful and unique dog and cat breeds have been (in) and cross bred to the point of bad health problems and lost type.

Like I've mentioned, the breed is difficult to produce because it starts as hybrid with Asian Leopards, which produce infertile offspring (different species) with horrible personalities. One of this breed's hallmarks is their incredible personality. It costs a lot of time and money, and someone must take care of all the bengals not fit to reproduce, and the ones uncapable.


well, let's hope they do in fact invent a non-surgical spay/neuter drug. It will be tons easier, and people like us can donate to funds and organizations which perform the procedure on stray animals.
 
Adorable kittens, I love cats!

That Bengal cat would probably tear my Himalayan (Isabelle) up if I put them together, but would love to have one.

Good luck with the breeding and the sales.
 
Nah, they won't tear anything up. I just got back from Petsmart with my male, and we also visited at a buddy's house. He's got two cats, and they got along as well as cats that are strangers can. He ate some of their food though. My girlfriend is the manager there, so he gets to check out the birds and dunk his arm in the fishtanks.
