That's fine as long as you keep them indoors!!
There was a program on CBC tv last night about people who are insane
when it comes to cats, and there are a lot of them. Some stupid women
were trapping feral cats, having them neutered and then releasing them
INTO A NATURE RESERVE!!!!!!

Reading this site concerning Bengal temperament and personality,
it could be describing my cat. It says it will get along with
other pets but you really never know, right? Each is different.

How typical this is, I don't know, but I do know I won't ever let my landline go. At least I have an instant dial tone, my cell takes up to a minute to fire up.

Choose a Rescue cat. Btw, if you feel the need to ask others then you
are not ready for another cat... this is a commitment you must make
entirely on your own.

I agree with you. And, just an FYI, Nancy's cat was a formerly
feral/rescued young cat.

Yawn. They stay in at night, otherwise theyre free to roam here.

Quite true, each cat's personality is different. That site could also
be describing Lucy, my tabby.

Gawd, here comes yet more pontificating from those who think they know
better... it was only a rhetorical question.

I'm certainly not pontificating. Just saying, Nancy's cat was a rescue.
She didn't go out looking for a bengal cat.

Yeah, and one of mine seems to know the meaning of the word "cute"
because when I say "you're so cute" he cocks his head a little and
practically winks at me.

Well, just as an example, someone I know from another group says she has
to use museum wax to hold down nicknacks and other things she doesn't
want knocked over. Though one of my cats, furthest thing from a Bengal,
used to make it a game to knock everything off of any shelf or other
surface he could get to, like my bedroom dresser.

No, not you.

There are plenty of Australian rescue places that specialise in
Bengals.

So, basically like my Tabby, Lucy... only worse?
Lucy has settled down now - apart from tormenting Annie, that is.

LOL, I've known a few cats that like that game.

So that's how your momma got you. So now I have some respect for you,
rescue beast. I'll assume you're more a "gal" than a "Ben". I'm
pretty much convinced that all aussies are faggots... just goes with
the territory... I'm positive all aussie males do each other and all
aussie sheilas do each other, and never the twain shall meet. Down
under queers all! I don't consider aussies part of the human race,
they're all marsupials... your momma bred you in her pouch. Go
fornicate with some bushy eucalyptus leaves you platypus POS.

Guess what arrived in the mail today. Cocoa instantly
knew it had something to do with her and hid under the bed.
? Cats hiding from boxes, that's a new one.

But once the kitty reefer was added to the cat diversion
device, she started giving those balls a workout. Heh.
Played with it more than I expected.

Thanks.
