This is a copy of a email sent to us from a lovely couple which had two pet kittens from us ,just to let all you non bengal owners know what it is like to have them around
You probably know exactly what they are like, completly mental would sum it up, Gizzy is the hyper of the pair and probably has too many e numbers in his cat food,he is the sligthly taller now, he also loves bath time although Emo is usually the one to fall in...
We are not joking about wallpaper, the bedroom is stripped, they dislike that paper so they took it all off..
We have had workmen in lately to do some work and both have helped no end!!!! The gas engineer had to pull them down out of the chimney covered in soot, Mo went mental and he thought it was really funny.
The window guy had his case emptied and his note pad destroyed, it does get a laugh although you do wonder if they tolereate the attack just to be nice to the customer.
It takes about 5 seconds when a visitor arrives before either of them is summing up the challenge and deciding the best plan of attack, if they have a bag or case then they start there, ripping sounds usually means a score, no bag is a little harder to begin but acting nice and then doing somthing silly usually lulls them into a false sense of security, tools get stolen and helping in all forms of DIY is good sport, we have drawn the line when painting and barred them from that side of the house as we dont think that we want paw print carpet.
The hoover was the only thing to scare them and now they will stand next to it, we wonder how long it is before they ride around on it
We have had to get a spray mist bottle to act as a deterent as they visably try to push their luck to find the boundries and will do something just to annoy us, they also plan attacks so one is getting a row and the other is then doing exactly the same thing whilst you are not looking .
You cannot leave your toes out of the bed, emo will bite them, he has found that this usually gets you out of bed and works best at 4:50am, by the time you catch him he is usually sitting in the kitchen by their bowls screaming for chicken, so this is planned as well.
Toilet rolls have to be hidden and tied to the back of the batroom door, we used to use 2 to 3 rolls a week, emo can destroy that many in as many days if you let him and destoy means completly shredded....
To the other end of the scale they love company and will sit on your lap all night ,Emo is a mummy's boy, Gizzy sits on me, until the next round of war breaks out..
Mo is trying to teach fetch at the moment, both will sit when told but wont yet fetch and return.
We love em to bits, their attitude and games are wonderful, they are however very energetic, never mind the house was too nice and needed to be toned down.
We are having another conservatory added to the house which will mean they will be able to run right round the outside then and come in another door so that will prove a race track no doudt.
One thing is for sure life is not dull.....except when a cat nap is being taken, both of us never believed they could cause this much chaos,, its bloody brilliant
Thanks
