OMG I've lost it

I just commited to a purebred registered Bengal kitten! I've wanted a Bengal for well over 8 years now and finally found a reputable, responsible breeder! I just heard today she has a kitten available for me! They're 2 weeks old right now and kitty will be ready to come home at 12 weeks old with his/her shots, microchipped, dewormed and already spayed/neutered.

I'm SO excited! I haven't told my kids yet, I'm going to wait until about a week before the kitty is ready to come home, 10 weeks is an aweful long time for them to wait and me to keep hearing 'How much longer until our Kitty can come home?' :lol:

Now for the next 10 weeks to fly by!

I already put pics of him on my facebook. The breeder sent me pictures of the males and females available and I picked out a beautiful boy.

Is the kitty coming home yet? I had actually looked into get an Bengal kitten before I got my siamese but the only breeder around here wouldn't consider selling me one because I had a dog and a cat already. I am so jealous but I wouldn't give up my siamese for anything.

10 weeks... 10 loooong weeks!

That's too bad about the Bengal breeder! The ones I contacted all had dogs themselves and kids and said Bengals do great with kids other cats and dogs when raised with them. They are cats who really like to explore etc... so they are by nature he will be climbing my counter... a pet peeve of mine, I'll teach him not to when I'm around but I KNOW he will when I'm not around :lol:

Oh well lots of counter cleaning!

I'm glad you're happy with your siamese, we're pretty sure my 8 month old kitten is part siamese and what a character she is! Siamese are so smart.

You have definitely lost it :lol:

I have heard though that Bengals can become aggressive or jealous of other cats..even if the other cats are there first. Here's hoping for one with a good personality.

About Bengals http://tica.org/public/breeds/bg/intro.php

I've never heard that but I did ask about any aggression issues and all the breeders I spoke to haven't had any problems eventhough they keep intact cats together so it shouldn't be an issue, the breeder I'm getting from breeds according to breed standard.

They are however a very spunky cat who loves to be a part of everything you do :lol:

The breeders bengals sleep with her dogs!

Funny about the cat sleeping with the dog, my Siamese does that. She is in the middle of everything that is going on. She also grooms our dogs when she thinks they are in need which seems often. hehe
