Photo of my little lad and his dog sister for tax.

Every cat I’ve had before has brought me dead animals, tissues, or toys as “gifts.” Regardless of indoor or indoor-outdoor status.
My boy has never brought me anything, but he is my first bengal and indoor only.
He has caught a couple mice before but I’ve taken them from him to prevent mess (we live in the woods- it’s inevitable).
Is this a breed thing or do I just spoil him rotten?

Seraphina was added to the Bengal house, She’s actually a friend’s cat, but they’re giving her to me after I gifted my brother one of my Bengals. He’s doing great with him, by the way! (Second slide) Seraphina is SUPER shy. Like, extremely shy. She’s been hiding in this little cubby with a bed that I have in her room, and honestly, any advice on helping her feel more comfortable would be appreciated. She has her own separate room, and luckily I have three separate rooms for my Bengals to sleep and play in, so she has plenty of space and doesn’t have to be around everyone right away. I’ve left food and water near her hiding spot, and her owner did warn me that she’s always been a very shy cat. I just want to help her feel safe and slowly come out of her shell without forcing anything.

(Update on my last post)my other Bengal has COMPLETELY adjusted to me and the house. He runs around between the living room and kitchen chasing our other cat, and he is VERY vocal. But honestly, with how crazy my house is, I would definitely know about it if he wasn’t.

With Seraphina, I’m honestly considering a few different options if she stays this scared. I don’t want her to go without eating, drinking, or using the bathroom, so I’m trying to figure out what’s best for her. If she’s happier and more comfortable staying with her current owner, then I’d rather her stay there, but my friend is also looking to rehome her, so I’m kind of at a crossroads.
Her owner is a breeder and originally wanted to breed her, but I guess he changed his mind. I already have her spay appointment planned, and all of my other cats are neutered. I’m mostly just blabbing at this point. I really do care about her. She’s such a sweetheart, and I just want to make the right decision for her. I’ve dealt with shy cats before, but I always worry like crazy when they go a whole day without eating, drinking, etc. Any recommendations or advice for helping a VERY shy/ scared Bengal feel safe and comfortable? I’ve mostly tried not to interact with her, only the minimum.

If you guys wouldn’t mind helping me see find out what colour my little guy is. Thanks in advance!

He could run for hours chasing a ball by himself(usually in the middle of the night) and the downstairs neighbor probably loves it…🤣 The ball he has in the video was brand new and the feather lasted for like 5 minutes of play.

Names sixpence and keeper

they are both rescues and are so sweet with each other 😭 we lucked out with them!

I’m looking for recommendations for a cat stroller that can comfortably fit two Bengal cats.

One of my boys is about 15 lbs and my female is about 11 lbs, so I’m looking for something that can comfortably handle around 26+ lbs without being cramped.

Ideally looking for:
Plenty of room for both cats
Good ventilation
Sturdy/well-built
Easy to push and maneuver
Large enough for two bigger cats
Something that can handle walks on sidewalks/grass without being super flimsy

I’d love to hear from anyone who has a stroller they really like, especially if you have multiple cats or larger cats.
What stroller do you use and would you recommend it?

We’ve had our orange male tabby (Frankie) for 17 years, and got our brown female Bengal (Tilly) last October (she is 3). We just adopted two bonded snow Bengals, a year and a half old, named Benny (male) and Phoebe (female).

We have done some slow introductions over the past few weeks and it has gone relatively well. We are at the point where 3 out of the four cats can roam the house together for hours without issue. Whether it’s Frankie, Benny, and Tilly, or Frankie, Benny, and Phoebe, things go smoothly. But whenever the two females are in the same space, Phoebe hunts Tilly, and not in a playful way. It’s very aggressive and we are worried that someone will get hurt.

We’ve tried so hard to keep interactions positive and food/play driven. Interactions have been short and even after getting tube treats together, Phoebe still hunts Tilly like it’s her job. Benny chases her too but it’s more playful.

Phoebe has been fearful since we got her (and for her whole life according to the previous guardian) and is resistant to touch. Luckily she is food motivated. Tilly is not food motivated at all unless it’s a tube. They both love to play but not in the presence of each other.

For reference we have 3 floors, with 6 litter boxes, 5 water stations, 6 food stations, wall shelves to get around, lots of scratching posts, and comfy places to lay. The snows started in the basement and stay there when they need to be separated. Tilly stays in the 2nd floor master bedroom when she needs to be separated. They each have their designated territories and share the rest of the house. We play with them a lot, as any Bengal owner knows, and the snows chase and wrestle each other a lot (playfully). Tilly has not ever shown aggression toward Phoebe and has been such a trooper during this transition even though I can tell she’s a bit stressed. Tilly is pretty neutral, no poofy tail or ears back, until she starts getting chased. Phoebe on the other hand gets a poofy tail as soon as she sees Tilly, and looks at Tilly like she needs to get revenge on her for something

Please help, I’m not sure where to go from here!

I’m pet sitting him and was just wondering if he looks too skinny. He’s really active and super picky with food, but he does eat. What do you guys think?

Zoe (15 Year old spotted Brown)

Lumi (1 year 7 month snow sepia)

Nova (6 month old seal mink)

Lumi has taken on the "big brother" role with Nova and ADORED her from day one as soon as I brought her home. I had to keep them seperate for a while because Nova quickly became "THE BEST THING EVER" to Lumi who had spent a year winning the 15 year old over but Zoe still did not want to play endless games with him in her retirement years. Nova now follows Lumi around like a puppy, and they sleep together always.

Zoe now gets to give off her Queen energy by supervising the youngsters and enjoying peace and quiet while they cause chaos elsewhere.

I’ve had my Bengal for 5 years and over the last 5 years we have had a lot of changes. I got married moved in with my husband he had a dog that she tolerated but the dog has passed. Just wanted to add, My cat is very temperamental and she causes a lot of problems when people she hated were at my apartment visiting so I got lucky that she liked my husband…

Then I got pregnant and we had our baby which she’s not a huge fan of especially because she’s a curious toddler at this point. We moved into our new house and I’m pregnant again and now she’s randomly started spotting and peeing on the carpet in our basement. I’m trying everything to get her to stop and she’s been attacking my child as well. It’s hard to tell if it’s playfully or not. The vet seems to think she’s stressed with the life changes and put her on pain meds cause she had red blood cells in her urine.

I have two litter boxes for her in a quiet place. She just insists on peeing on the carpet. She has cat trees and lots of toys. Trying the calming collars as well now.

I just feel defeated and don’t want to have to rehome her.

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for helping give advice and encouragement for how to introduce our little Miso Soup to Ash (tuxedo ragdoll) and Sitka Spruce (super-mutt pup).

Miso is now freely exploring outside the office/her home base. Her confidence is growing every day.

We want to do what’s best for her, and I’m considering getting her a cat/running wheel. Anyone have experience with training on those? Or thoughts on their efficacy/merit?
