What colour are your bengals?

Cheza is a brown, Klaus is a brown charcoal!

Ken the crayfish is noticeably less pink than his counterpart Barbie, even though they both eat the same food. I wonder if I should get something with more keratin in it and see if he colors up

Hey, do you happen to have any Bengal-specific tips regarding their keep? I've had cats all my life and am looking to adopt two Bengals (surrendered together) from the shelter, and you seem like a good source, haha.

Buy the tallest and most robust tree you can. Bengals are fantastic leapers and climbers and if they don't have a good outlet they tend to make one.

Keep lots of toys and use them often. Dedicate play time for your cats. Give them an area to escape to where people and other animals leave them alone if possible.

Bengals I've noticed when young will eat a lot and still stay slim so you may need to feed more than you're expecting depending on age.

Really there isn't a lot of different care required for a bengal. They're still cats, just more intense cats. They play rougher and eat more and may be more sensitive to change and stress. I'd take your everyday stuff you'd use for any cat, but buy the biggest most robust version of it you can. From trees to litterboxes.

Between dominant blue eyes and reverse colorpoint in cats and colorpoint in general showing up in dogs it's been an interesting few years in the realm of animal genetics

what are your favorite parts of having bengal cats?

I love how intelligent and athletic they are. I've seen Cheza jump from the floor to the top of the cabinets, I've also seen them figure out how to open doors and cabinets, how to turn on water faucets and even how to turn on the tub.

I love their super fine coats with a silky texture different to most other cats, I like how bold and playful they are, but I also like that they're a bit more independent and don't smother me. I love a cuddly baby sure, but I won't lie, I get overstimulated pretty easily so sometimes I don't *want* an animal all over me, and some animals (like Egon, for instance, who wants to live inside my rib cage) just don't get that.

They're little jesters and acrobats, they love their human so so much but they aren't super pushy about it, and they're smart enough to learn a variety of tricks or leash walking fairly easily.

I love cats in general but bengals have held my interest since I was a little kid and I'm only more obsessed with them now.

The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (UK) posted this to their Facebook page today:

We are very excited to announce our NEW RECOGNISED BREED - The Transylvanian! 🤩

'Indigenous to the woodlands and forests around the Carpathian Mountain areas of Romania and Hungary, the Transylvanian cat is the most recently discovered natural breed in the world.

They have fascinating features such as the reverse Karparti coat, born white, over the first 12 months the kitten grows a black, blue or sometimes a red coat whilst leaving the points of the ears, nose and paws white. Basically a reverse point! The Transylvanian is thermal too, being lighter in summer and darker in winter.

The foundation breeders led by Beverly Elian (WCF Judge) are based in Romania, Hungary, Switzerland and in the UK with Stuart & Amanda Brass.

Extensive testing has occurred on all four generations supported by Leslie Lyons and it appears the breed is robust with no genetic or hereditary issues appearing in any of the litters.'

Not seen and heard enough? You can see our newly recognised Transylvanian at the Feline Fair! Buy your tickets here - https://tinyurl.com/5dm7kp9a! 🎟️

The scarred black mare sat alone in the back of the pen, mouth agape in equal measures of fear and rage. She seemed, somehow, to understand that her actions had doomed her. To be certain, when working with a beast of such a high caliber, bites and injuries were expected and old scars a sign of experience.

But what was the stableman to do, with an animal that not only killed, but actually consumed its rider?

I should get a snow bengal to round out the set. Just collect all the colors like Fiestaware.
