Major newbie here :hug:
My partner is shortly going to 'adopt/majorly love' a kitten....
He is quite a pedigree variety...and he wont be cheap.
Personally I couldn't care less if he was a moggie/stray...but he seems to have split ears at the lower end of his ears.
Is that a problem?
Thanks for advice in advance :sneaky:
-
:welcome: To Purrs
Sounds normal to me Jules
So what breed is he ?

Hi Jules :welcome: to Purrs.
Congrats to your partner on his pending furbaby :)
When you say split ears do you mean that pocket/flap thing near the base? As far as I know all cats have that litle flap. No idea what it does but probably something to do with the range of movement.
-
not quite sure what you mean but all/most cats have a bit on the edge of their ears (on the outside edge) that seems to split a wee bit..it has a proper name...something pockets (cant for the life of me remember the exact name)
could this be what you mean or does this kitten look as if it has had injured ears ?

It's my woman/ partners cat/kitten.
The kitten we are getting is absolutley gorgeous....he's a silver bengal leopard.
Just a bit worried about his ears :scared:

No, the frilly bit at the base of the ear (bursa) is there to help the cat move its ears about freely. Comes as standard whether mog or ped. ;)
Enjoy your new kit! :Luv:
-
I've cropped some photos to show what my cats ears looked like... Is this what you mean?

Jules

sorry that made me laugh..your not a caveman are you :rofl: :rofl:

Jules just so you know... on this forum we call Bengals.... BENGLYs :rofl: Ans as a proud mum of one (well she's not living with me yet!) I bet we can share lots of stories about how they

Ears look normal to me :)

:welcome: Hi, i love white marbled bengals thats heaven. :hug:

Awwww! What a cutie! Is that little "nick" in the ear what you were referring to? If so, it looks perfectly normal to me. If you're worried ask the breeder about it.
How old is she in that pic - she looks so small and cute!
There are a few people on here with bengals - Bengalbabe (Linda) has 3! ;D
-
His name is Teoh, and I believe he was born on Feb17th :Luv:
-
he's gorgeous and likewise ears look normal to me aswell.
Linda by the way has FOUR benglys LOL.
PS i do hope the "girlfriend" isnt reading this LOL..you'll be getting the rolling pin round the ear tonight if she is :rofl:
-
Cute Cute Cute !!!
(Looks abit like a Silver Tabby BSH at that age)
More pics wanted as soon as you get the little fella
-
PS i do hope the "girlfriend" isnt reading this LOL..you'll be getting the rolling pin round the ear tonight if she is :rofl:

As you can see we are all friendly and a tad bit mad (some more than others but wouldnt want to name and shame its against the mentel health act :rofl:)

Hi and :welcome: to Purrs
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: a baby bengal .... I am SOOO jealous.
Can't wait to hear all about Teoh and all the mischief he gets into and of course we need lots and lots of baby pics ;)
We are a very friendly bunch and there are some very knowledgeable peeps on here (especially with regards to benglys) so feel free to ask any questions.
Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Rossi xx

Awwwww Teoh is gorgeous :Luv:
Can't wait to see more pics of him :)
-
Awwwww Teoh is gorgeous :Luv:
Can't wait to see more pics of him :)
He is going to be a VERY loved cat :Luv:
We went to see him again yesterday....a quick pic
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/08042007091.jpg)
It's going to be a long wait until we take him home :(
-
He's lovely jules, when do you get him home ?
-
Adorable. Just lovely.
You can kill your hankerings for him on here Jules :rofl:
-
He's lovely jules, when do you get him home ?
We got his papers and paid for him on sunday....he comes 'home' to our house on the 20th of May (he's only 7 weeks at the mo)
we also have a 10 day holiday booked in september and I'm already worried about what to do with him :scared:
-
september, well you have loads of time to start finding out and viewing a good cattery. Word of mouth is often a good way to find one so if you have cat friends ask around, beware though they can book up pretty fast so look into it sooner rather than later. Unless of course you have someone in the family that could come and cat sit for you ? I'd say for a kitten and 10 days you need fairly decent arrangements ie for a day or two its fine to get someone to swing in past for a wee while too feed/clean trays/pet & play etc but 10days is really too long for that. Maybe your breeder knows of a reputable cattery.
You did say it was your partners cat didnt you..funny you are the one worrying :rofl: :rofl:
Now you see i have a hubby who thinks my red boy is merely "ok" but last night he carried him through to the kitchen to fetch something as cody was on his lap and hubby didnt want to wake him up :rofl:
-
Not long now.....we pick him up on Friday afternoon :Luv:
Let the fun/games/destruction commence:-
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/06052007557.jpg)
/excited :)
-
he's lovely, you both must be very excited and we look forward to many more pics.
How refreshing it is to hear from you actually buying a pedigree kitten from what sounds like a reputable breeder as you have had to wait and i presume he'll be vaccinated.
If you follow other posts you'll see there has been a run of furbabes from not so nice people lately :(
Let the fun/games/destruction commence
you'll certainly have fun and most definately destruction :evillaugh:
-
He's a stunner :Luv: :Luv: Have you 'cat-proofed' your home yet? I'm proud Mum to two new kittens and believe me, if there is somewhere you don't want them to go they will. I spent ages blocking up gaps by the fridge etc etc I thought I was cat proofed but how wrong was I !!!
I've had to take the connecting cords out of the blinds, tie the curtains up, hide the washing while it's drying on the airer - you need eyes in the back of your head :evillaugh:
Can't wait to see more pics of him when he's home :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Yes....
We got him from Mel and Ron at Redgrave Bengals....I intended to look around, but when we saw him it was pretty much 'love at first sight'....he stood out because of his much darker (and impressive) markings.
http://www.redgravebengals.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/1.html (http://www.redgravebengals.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/1.html)
I've never seen such character in a kitten (im not too familiar with the bengal breed) he seems very mature for his age (weeks)......whilst being curious like a kitten should be, he sort of 'investigates' things as opposed to headlong charging in :Luv:
I guess time will tell when he moves in.
As for getting him later.....I can't help but be a little disappointed if im totally honest. Ive deliberately not visited him since we paid for him (bought is a horrible word when referring to a new family member) and I feel ive missed out on his development into a cat :( I didnt visit him beacuase I know I would get frustrated because of not being able to take him home because of this.....
Anyway, this is him.....taken by the breeder. Such great markings, beautiful temperament.....and the biggest/heaviest of the litter 8)
(http://www.redgravebengals.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/1176118312.jpg)
Will get some more pics up when he 'arrives' home :hug:
-
I love the shape of his markings around his shoulder blades/top of front legs.
dont be dissapointed that you have missed out..i know how you feel but leaving them for this long is what all responsible breeders would and have to do. He has gained so much more being with his mother and siblings for a longer period of time which will stand him in better form not only health wise but esp in behavioural aspects so you're likely to have a far happier well adjusted kitten.
anyway...13 wks out of 16 years or so aint to bad ;)
-
awwwww he is too cute :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
I love the shape of his markings around his shoulder blades/top of front legs.
His 'tummy' marking are to be believed as well...excuse the 'choke hold' pic...the breeder wanted a pic of them so Debs held his neck back....
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/06052007561.jpg)
-
he has such a darling little face! totally gorgeous! :Luv: and you'll more than make up for any lost time :)
-
Awww he is stunning, I love his markings :Luv:
Helen is right about kitten-proofing :sneaky: My boys have a knack of getting behind things you think you have blocked off :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
He has a gorgeous face..must admit i am really liking the silver :Luv:
Had a look at your breeders website, all the cats look lovely.
LINDA...note 9 kittens !!!!!!!!!!! rofl. (pretty impressive for a bengly eh)
-
He is stunning, I bet you are getting very excited now! Don't worry about missing out on anything, my babe was 10 weeks when I got him and believe me he is still very much a kitten now even though he is nearly 7 months. He is still so much fun and is still learning new things everyday which is great to watch. Helen is absolutely right he will be in to everything, even places you think you have blocked off and watch out for your curtains :rofl: :rofl:
-
come on he must be home by now..wheres all the pics and updates ?? ;)
I suggest you start a lovely new thread to announce his arrival ;D
-
Oh he is stunning stunning stunning and I'm sure the three of you will be very happy together.

That position in kittens always makes me laugh "yeah come any nearer and I can get bigger ya know" :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
absolutley beautifull
xx
-
It's always followed by the sideways kitten bounce which cracks me up :rofl:
-
Ok oK :)
We got him yesterday...as expected he was a little distressed, and sat under our bed for a few hours.
Yesterday evening he came downstairs, had a nice meal and befriended Deborah :Luv: he then had a wander around checking out his new 'home'
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/18052007592.jpg)
Then licked Debs clean and went to sleep...
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/18052007.jpg)
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/18052007-1.jpg)
Such a beautiful animal....
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/18052007.jpg)
His temperment is absolutely spot on.....he's sat beside me purring now as I type...in fact he's either sleeping or purring :Luv:
He seems very affectionate.....either grooms himself of one of us, and so far he hasn't missed the litter tray once :)
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Jules you have a beautiful home and a new beautiful addition to share it with you both.
Wonderful pics. Make the most of the "sleepy times" once he grows out of the baby stage and doesn't need as much sleep he will have you running ragged as he gets into all sorts of mischief! :rofl:
-
that tummy is to die for!!!!!!!!!! he's sooooooo gorgeous!!! i'm in :Luv:
-
Cheers,
I think time on the lappy might be limited in future ;D he seems to like the noise/vibration...
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/19052007188.jpg)
He's been sat between us on the sofa for the last 30 minutes...he just purrs and plays* :Luv:
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/19052007189.jpg)
*Farts quite a bit too :innocent:

-
hehe, boring us with too mny photos is totally NOT an issue here - the more the better - especially with such a lovely subject!! i like his name. he really is just scrummy!! i like his little tongue - too cute!!!
-
He is just so gorgeous :Luv: Got to love that spotty tummy! ;D
-
OMG!!!! What a beauty :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
He is stunning!!
-
awwww what a gorgeous babe :Luv:
-
What a lovely silver boy Jules. He is a adorabe and looks like he is settling in beautfully. :)

He is absolutely stunning :)
-
How's Teoh settling in ..... any quirky behavior yet!
-
Well,
He's mental thats for sure...like a usual kitten but more agressive (compared to the two moggies ive had in the past) We accept that given he quite large for his age.
He's definitely come out of his shell...the first couple of days he was confident and loving....and relatively 'quiet' in terms of shouting. He's now pretty vocal (we dont mind that, we were expecting it) but still very loving and attentive when we are around.
It's been a few years since I've been in contact with a kitten, but he is already showing a penchant for climbing anything and everything...we got an 'activity centre' for him before he arrived, and he has already got to the top of that....even though the stages are a good 6" taller than he is
On the plus side......he is only really chatty when he is up and active, he seems to look at things and 'chat'...just to see if he gets a reaction...he hasn't missed the litter tray once in six days, and is happy(ish) being held and is VERY happy being groomed....
So all in all we are very happy :)
-
Lol....ive been away all week sorting out the house....was a bit worried he would have forgotten me, but he seems ok this evening :)
So here you go...one week in...he is still brilliant, still hasn't missed his tray....still a bit vocal and still farts quite a bit after beef. He loves salmon most :Luv:
Naughty.......
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/23052007676.jpg)
Guilty afterwards lol
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/23052007680.jpg)
Post grooming...he lurves that...
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/23052007687.jpg)
Look at the size of his paws :blink:
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/23052007694.jpg)
Wakey wakey....
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/24052007697.jpg)
Oh no...back to sleep then lol
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/24052007698.jpg)
Talk about cats that like climbing....he spends most of his time on here looking down on us :D
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/kitten/25052007200.jpg)
As I type.....one foot to my left....

Gorgeous pics - I wouldnt encourage playing near the cooker though.
-
:drool; He's scrumptious :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Yay glad we finally got to see lots of pics, i was in heaven..He is soooooooo gorgeous and im very chuffed he has settled in well for you guys. You look like you were well prepared before his arrival though, lots of lovely bengly toys.
keep the pics coming, we luv em :Luv
Oh by the way,you might already know but bengals are apparently prone to a more sensitive digestive tract so Re the wind etc it might be a good idea to PM Linda Bengalbabe to discuss that type of issues with her, she has 5 so far LOL (and counting) Might be worth it as 3 of hers got very poorly with digestive probs earlier this year and were on drips etc so i'm sure she'd be more than happy to share valuble info with you.
-
Yep, totally understand the cooker comment....
He seemed too small to get on the worktops (whilst trying) but a kitchen glove got left on the cooker door which gave him a grippy route up there. We thought it would be nice to have some water and biscuits downstairs in the kitchen, but he has pretty much ignored them so he is now banned from the kitchen unless we are about.
He does like sitting in the kitchen sink and playing with the water though :shy:
We are feeding him the same food he was fed before we got him....it's cat food not kitten stuff and whilst i make a joke about his flatulence it's not too bad :Luv:
Do you all think feeding him adult cat food is a good idea? he seems very happy with it...
I'm going to 'force' Deborah to sign up on here....she is very shy, but Teoh is her cat so please treat her gently as she is a little worried having never lived with a cat before and a bit internet shy too boot
:thanks:
-
So pleased Teoh has settled he really is stunning and the pics are wonderful.
With regards to the water thing bengals love water apparently ... i know Linda used to have a small kiddies paddling pool set up for her boys to play in and they loved getting "wet wet wet" :rofl:
I think you should definitely get Deborah to come and join us ... we'll be gentle with her.
-
What an absolute stunner.....love it when they attack the fluffy duster.....my cats walk round with one in their mouth's, very weird looking as they walk strange at same time lol!
-
Hi Deborah. We're a friendly mad bunch of females with the exception of a couple of gents so feel free to post anytime you want to. We have all different levels of experience and no matter how experienced or not we may be we have all learned from each other in some way shape or form so we'd love to hear from you.
Your new baby is gorg !!!
Most of our cats start off on kitten food i think, some however progress onto adult food quicker than others for varying reasons. My cody was around 8 mnths when he went onto adult food and that main reason was that he prefers it. Providing he is on a good quality food i dont think the adult will do him much harm, he certainly looks as though he's growing well and in veyr good condition.
Re the water play..some of them have got themselves a large, deep ordinary littertray and half fillied that with water with a few "floaty" toys in for their furbabes..I just leave a tap slightly on sometimes for mine (he's so deprived LOL)
Watch yourself at bathtimes though..its a big hazzard with curious water loving felines so please please run cold water into the bath first to avoid horrific injuries...Sorry if thats stating the obvious..lots of advice may be like that on here but what is common sense to one person may not be for the next.
-
Hi Deborah,
Like Lynn said people put cats onto adult food at different times for different reasons. My little girl had RC adult food from being about 2-3 months old and it's done her no harm equally my boy and other girl only had adult food from being about 15 months old and they are fine too.
Everyone on here is really friendly and people have such a wide variety of 'specialist subjects' that whatever question you ask someone will always know the answer or will know someone else who'll know the answer and if you are having a crisis someone will always help ;D Linda will be able to give you loads of advice about your Bengly.
A deep litter tray filled with water and some kids wind up bath toys (about 95p each from Tesco, the frog is the favourite of my mob) and ping pong balls are essential for water loving cats. Put it in the bath or in an outside run or your floor will get flooded :rofl: :rofl:
Your Bengly baby is stunning, really love his colour and markings ;D
-
So pleased Teoh has settled he really is stunning and the pics are wonderful.
I think you should definitely get Deborah to come and join us ... we'll be gentle with her.
Hello and :thanks: to you. I am really glad Jules signed me up ;D

Thank you so much for the advice. I will be very careful whilst running a bath. No more bubble bath either for me :)
Teoh has already had a paddle in his drinks bowl, the kitchen sink and is intrigued by the shower so really love your idea of a water tray with toys especially for him :Luv:

great to hear from you debs :welcome:
We forgot to give you the formal warning....this site is VERY addictive :rofl:
Looking forward to seeing the waterbabe piccys.. :evillaugh:
No need to stop the bubble bath, that wouldnt harm teoh if he did take a dive but the hot water warning is close to my heart, i am a vn altho not working just now (kids eh) and had to treat a poor 5 month puss that fell inot scalding hot bath with no cold water so i am very quick to dish out that advice ;)
You new baby is so handsome and we're very glad to have all 3 of you onboard.

:thanks: Lynn its lovely being here and reading your message with my little Teoh snoozing on my lap :Luv:
Oh Lynn that must have been awful for you and kitty cat falling into the hot water :( do hope all is well now and no long term damage has occured :'(
Thank you for the advice on bubble bath, wasn't sure if it would be bad for his fur... So, if its luke warm then Teoh may enjoy smelling of Jean Paul Gaultier bubbles then... I wonder... ;)
I promise to send you water baby piccies when he has his own pool. The house is like 'Teoh Tiger Towers' now. It is all his and he knows it even has his own bedroom full of bengalie toys :Luv:
Love Debs xxx
-
i bet he'd be even more delicious smelling of that LOL. (does it smell same as perfume..MMmmm)
Re the scalded cat..was awful , horrendous and yes eventually it came good but after months of dressings, lost all its skin full thickness all over under carriage, feet, under tail and privates etc..eventually it healed but had hairless tighter skin, never got any nails back though on its feet as all its nail beds sloughed off, wasnt my cat but a patient and one that will never leave my mind, a wee red boy too. I always think if i spead his message and make people think of something they wouldnt have before (i never used to run cold water first either) then his pain wasnt for nothing if that makes sense.
What is it with these bengly babies, i know another tribe that also have their own bedroom..Jeez i had to share when i was a kid HUMPH...ROFL
-
Oh Lynn :'( poor little baby> Please give him a tickle and a kiss from Teoh and me :Luv:
Yes please do spread the word. Goodness if it helps to stop that ever happening to another cat/kitten then its very worthwhile :hug:
Oh yes, the jean paul gaultier bubble bath is just like the perfume, its really lovely but only for special occasions!
My house has two bedrooms and the second bedroom is all his!
He has his own bed, basket, little bathroom and his food tray in there, along with a big iron double bed which he loves to jump on and some nice high shelves...
As I haven't any children, its all his and looks like a bengal nursery :Luv:
He may well have to share if he ever wants a bengal playmate!!! We will have to wait and see if he is happy on his own in the day or needs a friend, maybe of the brown glitter furred variety! ;)
Love Debs xxx
-

Apparently these benglys are very sociable creatures who especially love their own kind ..tee hee, just what i have heard :innocent:
i havent seen that other cat for a long time, since before i left work years ago, I took good care of him at the time though and he as happy about 4 mnths after the accident.
off to bed now, give teoh a hug from me :hug:

He may well have to share if he ever wants a bengal playmate!!! We will have to wait and see if he is happy on his own in the day or needs a friend, maybe of the brown glitter furred variety! ;)

Hi Debs and Jules ..... must be about time we had some updates on Teoh .... (we need more pics :rofl: ) hows the little man getting on?

I was just thinking yesterday teoh and co had dissapeared on us.

Teoh is fine :Luv:
I've decided to not get him neutered though, as he is 110% homosexual

Hi Sam :)
Been spending so much time with Teoh that have not been on the laptop as much ;)
Tbh I am absolutely shattered as he goes bonkers at night and wakes up at 5am crying for his brekkie :Crazy:
I will post more photos very soon of him :thanks:
-
Teoh is fine :Luv:
I've decided to not get him neutered though, as he is 110% homosexual
:evillaugh:
:innocent:
:Nooooo: :what:
This is so untrue, Teoh is as manly as a cat can be
He is the James Bond of Bengals, the Bodie in Bodie and Doyle, he is truly hetrosexual so please dismiss Jules's comments ladies :sneaky:
-
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: why is it boys are so neurotic about getting their boys neutered ... Jules ... even if you boy is homosexual I guarantee the first time he sprays in your house you will have down to the vets and be having him done :sick: :sick: :sick:
Look forward to seeing the pics.
-
I was just thinking yesterday teoh and co had dissapeared on us.
:hug: Hi Lynn, we are still here, puter broke for a bit, Teoh loves to jump on the keyboard!!!
I am cream crackered though, he needs a playmate and I have been walking home every day to give him his lunch come rain or shine and feel the need for an early night :tired: :tired: :tired:

I'm not unduly worried about him having his ickle man globes isolated....I'm just saying it would be a pointless excercise as I'm sure he isn't interested in females :innocent:
-
More pics please..yes indeedy,
Reckon wee miss dynamite would be a perfect girlyfriend for him, that would turn his head ;D
-
Exciting news too!
Teoh is getting a Bengal playmate, we are promised the best boy of the litter too ;D
Kittens are due 9th of July, I like the name 'Storm' or 'Silver Storm', apparently its now a girls name though but it is a boys name according to history, we also thought Howard Hunter to go with Teoh Tiger, not sure and the poor blighter isnt born yet ;)
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Shall we say... Teoh has taken an odd interest in Jules ;) but I think its just kitten adoration of his Human Daddy!
Well, one hopes! :-:
-
More pics please..yes indeedy,
Reckon wee miss dynamite would be a perfect girlyfriend for him, that would turn his head ;D
Awwww bet Teoh would adore her as he is a 120% proper ladies man I rekon!
:thanks: :Luv:
-
"silver surfer" i think ;)
-
I know it might be a tad strange.....but we named Teoh after one of our favourite restaurants...we love it there and we love him. Just suited him down to the ground :Luv:
He doesn't respond to the name yet, I'm not sure he ever will TBH :scared: but he follows Debs around all the time she is in the house :Luv:
As for the new kitten we thought about the name 'theo' but that seemed too close to Teoh.....and given Teoh doesn't really grasp his name (as yet) I think confusion may occur?
Anyways...I would like the new kitten to be called 'howard' (another restaurant name)...Debs might prefer 'storm'
Any thoughts?
Jules
-
He doesn't respond to the name yet, I'm not sure he ever will TBH :scared: but he follows Debs around all the time she is in the house :Luv:
Hi Jules & Debs (and of course the scrumptious Teoh)
Congrats on the 2nd kitten news, I am doubly jealous now :Luv:
My boys are the same age as Teoh and I was getting to the point where I didn't think they would learn their names. I always used their names in 'conversations' (yes, I know I sound :Crazy: like 'careful Riley you'll hurt yourself' as I pluck him off something he shouldn't be on/in) but they wouldn't come when called. I made a concerted effort to call them only using their proper name ie Riley/Lukey instead of silly nicknames like baby Riles or Mr Wooky. When they came near me I repeated their names over and over again at the same time as giving them some Milky Flake-ums for kittens (milky style kitten treats). I did this for two days and now they bound over come to their names when called... most of the time!
I can also completely empathise with the lack of sleep, it's REALLY getting to me know, they came home at 10 weeks old so have had this for 6 weeks solid. Lucas is an angel and you wouldn't know he is there at night but as for Riley, well :tired: :tired: :tired: I am trialling a psychological training method so will let you know the details if I have a breakthrough :evillaugh:
-
give him time and he'll get to know his name..cody SOOOO knows his name :evillaugh: i just have to say "cody" and he immediately resonds Pprrrruurrrrrr in his cody voice (so the hard of hearing wont have any problems :evillaugh: )
normally i prefer human names but given the choice i'd prefer storm over howard.
-
Wondered how long it would take to get him a playmate!!!!
-
the Bodie in Bodie and Doyle :sneaky:
:rofl: :rofl: I was only watching that on Sunday. I'd forgotten how good it was.
-
Congrats on the new bengly! ;D I like the name Storm.
I sometimes wonder whether Mosi knows his name but he does, he just chooses not to respond most of the time. Last night I couldn't find him and thought I may have shut him in the bathroom so went around calling Mosi - he came bouncing out from behind the curtains. He knows exactly who Mosi is!
Lack of sleep? 6 weeks? :rofl: I'm a pro - you've got another year or so to catch me up! ;D Mosi has his good nights, his bad nights and his somewhere in between nights! Doesn't have too many good nights. ;D But he's cute so he gets away with it.
-

Hey Susanne
You have hit the nail on the head! ;D Mosi sounds pretty cool I think our young man may have 'selective hearing' also! :rofl:
Thanks about the name too. Storm does sound rather cool but may be a tad fierce and I would love another cuddly boy so I am growing fonder of little Howard Hunter by the minute, not sure why but it sort of feels right :Luv:
I think Jules is pretty smitten with this name also :Luv:
Lots of time for us to be sure, when we visit the kittens I am certain we will then get it just right :care:
-
Yay on the expected new arrival.
2 of our cats know their names, Lirael was originally named Kay by the breeder she's a very needs to be near you cat so she picked up her name fast (that and we were constantly yelling it, "Lirael, NO! Get off daddy's Legos"
Smoke was named Megan from the rescue we got her from but doesn't answer to either ;)
I like Storm better than Howard but if you're going for resturant names then Howard would work. Though I'd have issues as my favorite is From Rome to Mexico in Dublin (might have the name backwards).

I bought them from Pets at Home but they sell them in Jollyes and most online pet stores too... They are very light in texture and weight and apparently they taste, well, um - milky! They get the big paws up from the boys :drool; :ok:
[attachment deleted by admin]

Hobbes loves those too, he gets them before I go to bed and he always jumps onto the platform on the cat tree to get them. He does respond sometimes to his name but it took him quite a while and like Mosi he has selective hearing too :rofl: I can sympathise with the lack of sleep too - 4am is Hobbes' favourite time to come for a cuddle and as he sticks his head under my hand until I stroke him I have no choice but to succumb :rofl: Having said that I did get to sleep in until 5am this morning and woke up of my own accord to see Dylan and Hobbes lying curled up together :Luv: That will be it for the next few weeks tho :rofl: :rofl:

Hi Debs and Jules,
Congrats on the new bengly baby ... not long to go ... I bet you're counting down the hours aren't you. Love the pics of Teoh he is such a little stunner :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Well, young Teoh had the 'snip and chip' today :(
Apparently (according to the vet) he should be 'sleepy and lethargic' right now.
Predictably he's being his usual nutcase self :evillaugh:
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
BTW ... has "Howard" arrived yet ... where's the pics wsn't he due with you on the 9th?
-
fantastic pics of teoh, is baby howard with you yet ?
-
Our little Teoh is truly mental :-:
Far from being sleepy he is going absolutely mental...he's attacked us both (in a really playful manner) but Debs is now carrying some really nasty wounds :scared:
I guess the Bengal genes over ride all this post op trauma business :innocent:
Anyway, to answer our questions re: Howard......yes he was born july the 10th. We've not met him yet, but our breeder is pretty certain she has picked him out for us. We are paying them a visit on sunday to meet the latest member of our 'family'
Howard shares the same mum as Teoh, and his dad is silvergam silver shadow.
Here is Howard with princess, again she had nine kittens (one unfortunately died :'( )
No idea which one is Howard mind you :evillaugh:

:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: :Luv: ahhhh ickle babie benglies ... I misunderstood I thought "howard" was coming to you on the 9th not coming into the world on the 9th! :rofl: Bless .. so it will be another 12 or so weeks til he gets to you I suppose.
Pleased to hear Teoh is showing no side effects from his visit to Mr Vet ... Zephyr was exactly the same ... I actually had a call from my vet when he was taken in to ask if I could come and collect him a bit earlier than arrange cuz he was making such a racket and was obviously over the anaesthetic :rofl:
Have a lovely time on Sunday with the babies .. looking forward to seeing the first official "Howard" pics :)
-
He's calmed down now :Luv:
Who was`it that said Bengals dont make lap cats? Teoh luuuuuurves the attention

:Luv: :Luv: Wow hasn't he grown. I love they way he has his claws in your thigh ... is that his way of saying ... No you can't stop stoking me yet! :rofl:

:Luv:
I thought you meant howard was coming home on the 9th aswell LOL.
Lovely pic of princess with all her lil babies, and what a huge litter for a bengly aswell :)

Teoh is lovely Jules :Luv:
Think you will find it was me who said they are not typically lapcats (some other breeds are more suited for this purpose but thats not to say bengals wont snuggle on laps!). This is a common view shared by many official bengal clubs as well as the bengal cat rescue. There are of course always exceptions to any rule and it sounds like Teoh is one of those :)
I also said most people either decide to get them in pairs or get another one later ;)
-
Teoh decided to jump/fall out of a first floor window this morning :Crazy:
I say jump/fall because I simply can't believe he would try to 'jump' 13ft down onto the patio.
No harm done though it seems, I looked out of the window and he was smug as hell sitting under the garden furniture :Luv:
Here is the first pic of Howard
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/howie.jpg)
:Luv:
-
Hi Jules, Howard looks lovely, Debs must be over the moon with him :Luv:
Glad to hear Teoh is fine after his 'fall'. I had a similar episode with one of my boys, however I was in the room at the time and he most definitely jumped!!!!! :Crazy: Suffice to say all my window are now either firmly shut or catproofed!
Keep us posted with more pics - your boys are lovely :Luv:
-
Gorgeous photo, he's so cute.
Cats definately do sustain injury, often very serious ones jumping from even that height so be careful, actually i've heard some people say that shorter falls ie first floors can sometimes be more dangerous as they dont always have enough time mid flight to rectify themselves
-
Aw bless.....Howard is a babe :Luv:
My Baz broke his front paw from falling from 1st floor window.....vet said most prob the way he landed :scared:
-
:drool; Howard :Luv: I just love his name, very retro - I like to call it geek chic!
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Howard is gorgeous.
BTW .. did you know that Howard means "protector of the home" ... I only know this because the White Witch that lives across the road from me has just got herself a new 8 week old kitten and he is also called Howard.
Glad Teoh is OK after his "leap" I remember when I caught Zephyr jumping out of my 1st floor bathroom window ..I was beside myself and rushed downstairs to find him sat on the floor looking up at the window as much as to say "wow that was further than I thought it would be!" Needless to say ... ALL first floor windows are now catproofed.
-
:Luv: :Luv: :Luv: Howard is gorgeous.

Wow thank you so much for that Sam. We didn't know that the name Howard had such a wonderful meaning, that has made us both smile :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
:drool; Howard :Luv: I just love his name, very retro - I like to call it geek chic!
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Howard our only other photo of our baby ;D
-
Howard actually means "Guardian of the Home" http://www.thenewparentsguide.com/baby-names-h.htm ...Not that he looks much like he's up to guarding anything at the moment bless him :rofl:
-
I think we have agreed to either see Howard next weekend or the weekend after....we have a choice between two of the 'boys' but my mind is set, once again the kitten has chosen us not the other way around :Luv:
I know that sounds pretty awful/insensitive choosing between one or the other, but they have barely opened their eyes, and I (for one) would like to see them a few weeks older.
The kitten Debs has posted is VERY dark, in fact he looks near black.....he's my choice though...he even has black ears :evillaugh:
-

Oh yes, I second that!
The cutest black ears in the whole wide world :Luv:
Jules is right though, they are so young and as much as I love the dark baby, we should wait a week or two to see which 'Howard' adopts us ;)
xxx
-
I have to say you are definitely right in waiting to see them, and I thought breeders wouldnt actually let you see the kittens until they were at least 5 weeks old, the rescue I foster for has a minimum age of 6 weeks.
-
Just to say Jules and I have properly chosen Howard and here is Teoh's response!!! ;)

Hi Jules and Debs,
I just Knew you would end up getting another Bengal baby, Teoh is growing up to be a very handsome boy and little Howard is a real cutie
My 2 are growing fast and OH announced the other night that it would be nice to have one of each sort of Bengal :Crazy: that would mean a silver spoted, a blue spotted, a snow, a brown marble and goodness knows what else aswell as the 2 we have already got and my other 4 furbabies - think he must have been having a funny turn - they are addictive though
-
Hi ya,
OMG hasn't Teoh grown ... his markings are wonderful ... he's a proper little snow leopard isn't he!
I'm sure he will make you pay dearly with LOTS of treats for bringing another furry into HIS home! Cats are so manipulative aren't they ... or maybe us humans are just too easy to train! LOL
-
Debs spoils young Teoh rotten :Luv:
He is soooo soppy though :)
Funny thing is that the pic posted doen't look like him at all (might be my monitor) his spots are as dark as the rings on his tail ;)
-
Wow Sheryl, one of each!!!! :cheer:
Goodness, your OH is mighty keen, I do believe that Jules would faint if I suggested that!!!!
And the other way around if the truth be known, I think two will be ample for us!!!
Good luck though and hope you end up with a full set of Bengally babies in your home, would so love to see your bengals :Luv: please post some piccies :hug:
-
Funny thing is that the pic posted doen't look like him at all (might be my monitor) his spots are as dark as the rings on his tail ;)
No, don't worry it is not your monitor Jules, yes I think the sunlight has washed out our babies fur somewhat on that piccie
That and 'David Bailey' Deborah has no clue how to set up her new camera yet, but hopefully I will get there and show him in his full glory soon :Luv:
The instruction manual is bigger than the last Harry Potter novel :scared:
-
Hi Jules and Debs .... any news on Howard? Has he moved in yet. Where are the latest pics? and how's the gorgeous Teoh?
-
Hello Sam

Jules has til May until his time comes
I was on his ID without realising
Cannot wait for howard to arrive, saw him the weekend before last and he is a teeny weeny baby
Just hope that Teoh is accepting of his baby half brother
:)
-
Debs he is gorgeous and as for Teoh - what a stunning boy. How old is he now ? if i remember rightly I thik hes a little bit older than my 2.
I promise I will post some piccies at the weekend.
Have a lovely time in Spain x
-
Debs hope you had a great Birthday and Holiday.
So where are the pics of Howard??????? Has he moved in yet? We need updates and a Bengal fix :rofl:
-
Hello....
Jules here :sneaky:
Yep, Howard moved in with Debs and Teoh a little while back....I think you could say Teoh was a tad 'miffed' at first, esp after Howard beat him up a few times :evillaugh:
They are as think as thieves now though :Luv:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Sleepyboys3.jpg)

And yes we had a lovely time on holiday...thanks for asking

Gorgeous! :Luv:

Hello all,
A quick update (jules here, debs is no longer using the interweb to chat)
Bad news and good(ish) news fingers crossed...
Much that I hate to be proven wrong, but I think Linda may be correct about certain Bengals....Teoh has become quite 'timid' in the last month or so. He is 'very' selective about the time he spends with us, and I think its worse for Debs given she always wants to pick him up for a cuddle. He's happy being picked up/stroked but doesn't purr at all (audibly) and if you pick him up/then sit down he's off like a shot....but he does 'purr'..weird really, if the room isn't in absolute silence you can't hear him.
We accept that and still love him to bits...he seems to have the character of a grumpy old man that you cant help to feel a warm affection to :Luv:
Howard, on the other hand, is the most affectionate cat I've ever come across..doting is an understatement. I just hope he doesn't mature in the same way as Teoh, but if he does he will be given just as much love too :Luv:
-
Fabulous picture :)
What a shame Debs doesnt come online , doesnt she like us anymore :( ;)
Teoh is still young so you never know he may change again. My cody hardly ever purred when he was under 1 year old but now his purrs come easier and easier (he'll be 2 in march) so they do change as they mature.
-
Aww - they are both gorgeous. Dont' give up Teoh - just because he's not a lap cat doesnt mean he won't turn out to be affectionate. I would never try to pick up Jaffa as he hates it, and when he was young he never came on my knee or anything, but he loved it if I got down to his level and gave cuddles. As he grew older he started climbing on my knee occasionally if I was sat watching tv (I think he was about 3 when he first did it!). He still doesn't curl up and go to sleep, but he now frequently climbs on me if I'm sat at the computer or on the soafa, and sits leaning against me so that I can kiss his head and give him cuddles. He's an incredibly affectionate cat, just hates being picked up.
That's interesting about Cody's purr, Lynn. Mosi has never had much of a purr and I used to think he didnt' purr at all. But sometimes if I put my head on his side I could feel faint vibrations. However, over the past couple of weeks he seems to have started purring louder. You still have to be resting your head on him, but now instead of faint vibrations I hear a definite purr. I wonder whether it's a breed thing or just an individual cat thing? Jaffa purred loudly from the day I brought him home at 8 weeks.
-
Hi Jules,
Glad to hear both boys are OK ... sorry to hear Debs has stopped chatting :(
Looking forward to more pics of the gorgeous boys. Regarding the "lap cat" thing my boy Zephyr has never been a lap cat but as he is getting older he is getting better and loves bedtime when he come upstairs and have a cuddle.
-
Hello all, long time no speak to :shy:
Teoh is coming around, we now understand he likes time on his own....but when he is ready he comes over for a cuddle :Luv2:
Teoh does purr, but its almost inaudible...until you get him in his own room, then he lets 'rip' :Luv:
Sadly (for me) Howard had his chop done last week (excuse my male terminology on that matter, I really felt for the poor mite) To me, it was a real shame he didn't get to forward his bloodline...perfect temprament, and probably the best markings I've seen on a silver Bengal....but hey ho, he seems as happy now as before his op, thank the lord for that :Luv2:
(http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i60/jules_s/09012008.jpg)
Such a pretty cat that one :Luv:
-
Hello, even longer time no speak :shy:
I have missed you all at Purrs and have a nice new laptop from jules hence a new account here :)
Just to say hello again and that howard is now fast asleep on my lap and Teoh is tucked in behind me :Luv2:
I guess it's time for bed
Happy New Year to you all
Debs x
-
Debs! Welcome back! We missed you!
Glad to see you posting again.
Maybe we'll now get more updates on the gorgeous duo from you, Jules NEVER says anything!!!
:naughty:
-
Hello Ruth
How fast was that! Thank you :wow:
Jules not been keeping you up to date then, tut tut, men eh :evillaugh:
I promise to post regular updates!
Here is a nice one of Teoh after his Christmas lunch
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Teoh030.jpg)
Minus his christmas hat, it fell off ;)
Debs xx
-
AW... all that's missing the trousers with the open zip and belt :evillaugh:
-
I agree, he looked so funny laying there I couldn't stop laughing :rofl:
He thinks the new laptop is his present from Jules too ;D
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Teoh045.jpg)
On a more sophisticated note 8)
Here is baby Howard
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Teoh053.jpg)
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Howard083.jpg)
They are so so different, but love each other very much :Luv2:
-
OMG!!! Howard is gorgeous! And I see what you mean by sophisticated. I think Zephyr has competition in the distinguished cat category :naughty:
Seriously, welcome back Deb, its fab to see you again.
-
Oh thank you Ruth
Its really very nice to be back
Zephyr has no real worries, Howard Hunter is right now swinging from a tapestry on the landing and looks like a wildcat :Crazy: :Crazy: :Crazy:
He can just pose like his Dad when a camera comes out, the rest of the time he is a mentalist!
Teoh and Howard say goodnight to you
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Sleepyboys4.jpg)
Lovely to talk to you again
Sleep well
Debs x

Debs! Welcome back! We missed you!
Glad to see you posting again.
Maybe we'll now get more updates on the gorgeous duo from you, Jules NEVER says anything!!!
:naughty:
P.S.
:morning: Jules!
Guess who is the newest member of purrs :naughty:
Sounds like somebody has been too busy looking at pictures of little red cars lol :car:
xxxx
-
Aww, lovely pics.
-
Hi Jules and Debs great to hear from you both again. So pleased you have come back to chat Debs we've missed having updates on the Bengly boys :Luv2:
OMG I love that pic of Teoh after his xmas lunch :rofl: :rofl:
Further to Ruth's comments about Zephyr being distinguished .... ummm .... he's not really distingushed he's arrogant! :rofl:
-
Hi Sam
Thank you it's super to be back talking again, I stayed up wayyyyyy past my bed time last night back on purrs
Whatever next! :evillaugh:
P.S. Hope Zephyr cannot read :rofl:
-
:rofl: :rofl: I'm sure he can read but he hasn't worked out how to type yet so can't post a reply! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
One would have thought such a distinguished cat could type with his tail :rofl:
-
:rofl: He can do a lot with his tail admittedly ... like knocking over wine glasses, sweeping ornaments off of shelves and the best of all sitting on mummy's pillow and using his
whip tail to smack mummy on the head :naughty: but typing is still a bit beyond his lordships capabilities :evillaugh:
-
why does he need to learn when he has a secretary to do it for him?
-
Hi Debs,
How are the two gorgeous boys?
-
Stunning Cats! They are so gorgeous thos tummy shots are to die for! :blow kiss:
-
Hi Debs,
How are the two gorgeous boys?
Hi Sam
Thank you for asking
The boys are growing up big and fast, they are like two peas in a pod today!
Although Howard is a lot darker than Teoh, he sometimes looks black as certain angles
They have totally different personalities too which is a nice contrast
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/sunday013.jpg)
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/sunday014.jpg)
Being new to owning cats may I ask you please?
Is it normal for them to sleep all day?
They have not shifted from the sofa today :tired:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/sunday022.jpg)
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/sunday020.jpg)
I do hope this is normal, I am a little bit worried in case this is not healthy for them
:shy:
-
:evillaugh: Lexy can sleep 18-20 hours of the day. I believe its perfectly normal. Cats live long because they sleep so much.
-
:evillaugh: Lexy can sleep 18-20 hours of the day. I believe its perfectly normal. Cats live long because they sleep so much.
Oh thank you Ruth
That has really put my mind at rest
I was worried that they might be sleeping because they were bored or not happy babies
I guess I have a lot to learn about cats :thanks:
That is very good news because at this rate they will live til they are 110 years old
So will Lexy ;) :)
-
I didn't think it was as normal for Bengals as moggies, due to their high energy levels, but as long as they aren't getting fat, they are obviously getting enough exercise.
-
Well it's certainly not normal for my two to sleep all day! ;D Quite the opposite. But it is funny weather at the moment and they're maybe just feeling lazy today! For young Bengals I'd say it's not normal if they are like that every day, but as long as they're not sleeping all the time and do show interest in play generally, then I don't think there's anything to worry about. I do actually envy you in a way. I just dont' know what it's like to have cats that sleep all day since both of mine are real livewires. I love them like that but there are times when I wish they would give me some peace and go and lie down!
They are both very stunning and look happy and healthy to me ;D
-
Oh Debs they are gorgeous I love the close up nose shot
The following website might be of interest re: sleeping http://www.bestfriendspetcare.com/Pet_FAQs/cats-sleep.cfm
-
OMG - 16 hours a day? Will someone tell Mosi? He didn't get that memo :rofl:
-
Thank you all
Teoh is a tad on the large size so wet food has been limited to just brekkie now, hopefully he will stop snoozing so much!
Already he is far more playful like his brother Howard
Today, the boys had a treat...
Jules has put their shelf back up after it fell down as I swang off it while drunk :rofl:
It is now reinforced with a shiny metal pole!!! Plus rawl bolts!!!
Here are the boys taking a look at their new observation station
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/shelf003.jpg)
Its so high up they love it :Luv2:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/shelf009.jpg)
They are stock piling mice up there already ;D
-
Oooooh what a wonderful shelf ... and a fancy pole maybe you and the kitties can work out a pole dancing routine! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
-
Wow!!! Just for info, dry food is more likely to keep the weight on than wet food is, so I would be limiting the dry, not the wet.
-
I want :wow: OK, I meant Howard and Teoh but I guess that's a No so how about some info on that super high shelf - did you cover it with furry stuff yourself? If so how did you attach it, where can I buy the furry stuff and where can I buy the pole - my boys MUST have one :evillaugh:
-
Wow!!! Just for info, dry food is more likely to keep the weight on than wet food is, so I would be limiting the dry, not the wet.
Hello Desley
Thank you!
Diet has just been re-arranged, didn't know that so very much appreciated, Howard is very slender whereas Teoh is a little portly, bless!
But hopefully Teoh will soon be a slimmer boy for his new regime :evillaugh:
The boys like a treat of whiskers cat milk, how often would you say is best for them to have that to avoid weight gain?
They really adore it! :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Cat milk is classed as a "food" rather than a drink therefore it should only be given as a treat .... once or twice a week at the most.
-
Love that shelf Debs! - did you make it and cover it with carpet, or did you buy ready made? How did you fix it to the wall? - should be ok for you to swing on now its reinforced LOL! :rofl:
-
That was my handywork :innocent:
Its an Ikea 'Lack' shelf...cost about £20...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120218449873&ih=002&category=141182&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120218449873&ih=002&category=141182&ssPageName=WDVW&rd=1)
We went to a local shop that sells faux fur and fitted it with a staple gun. then fixed the shelf to the wall using plugs and screws.
Unfortunatley Teoh is a right fat lad now (joking) and their combined weight saw the shelf slightly pull off the wall....before Debs demolished it completely :rofl:
The shelf is now fixed to the wall with the biggest (heavy load) Rawlbolts the shelf could accommodate (about £6) Debs bought the pole and fixings (about £20)..... the shelf isn't going to fall down again (even if Debs does decide to go mountaineering again) :evillaugh:
-
I am so glad Jules replied to that as I couldn't take any credit for such a FANTASTIC shelf!!!
It was all his idea and hard work
:Luv: :Luv2: :Luv:
All I did was send the proto-type crashing to the floor, oops :naughty:
The boys have been sitting up there since I got home
Hmmmm, yep they do look cosy...
I must control the temptation to get up there with them again ;)
-
That is a fantastic shelf! I'm not letting Jaffa and Mosi read this thread cos they'll want one too.
-
:thanks: Jules. Do you know wher Debs got the pole from? I'm going to have a go at making one :wow:
-
:thanks: Jules. Do you know wher Debs got the pole from? I'm going to have a go at making one :wow:
Jules here on Debs lappy...
Got the pole from B&Q....it cost about £20 with all the fixings. It was 2.4m long (37mm dia IIRC) and I cut it down to size
Teoh is seriously hogging the shelf, so I guess another is in order; I think 1.1metre long is a tad too small for them both when they are fully grown :innocent:
-
Jules here...some bad news im afraid.
Teoh had some sort of 'fit' this afternoon :(
Luckily enough Debs had to go home sick this afternoon, she called me to tell me that she had just found Teoh at the foot of the stairs....
He was led on his side, tongue hanging out, eyes rolled back and the poor mite had also lost control of his bowels
She quickly took him to the vets (he was hardly breathing) and they put him in an oxygen box and inserted a drip.
Sounds like he is coming around, but they are doing further tests and keeping him in overnight.
Fingers crossed peeps :(
-
Oh what terrible news - Poor Teoh and poor Debs to have to find him like that - all my fingers and toes crossed for his safety. Please let us know how he gets on at the vet and if they find out what caused it ... Poor wee mite :hug:
-
Thinking of you all :hug:
-
We will let you know more morrow.
Howard is looking lost at the mo :(
Its the first night we have spent without Teoh since we got him....i'm very upset :'(
-
Aww, I do hope he gets better soon and is back at home with you all.
-
Oh Jules, Debs.
I'm so sorry, let us know please how Teoh gets on. A big hug for Howard too. :hug:
-
Poor Teoh! I hope they find out what caused the seizure and that it's a one off. Thinking of you all today :hug:
-
Any news on Teoh? Hopefully he's at home by now being given lots of TLC :hug:
-
Thank you everybody
Its been a very upsetting 24 hours but Teoh is back home now
He has had many tests and x-rays and seems well again luckily
The vet thought at first he had eaten something like rat poison and ran blood tests
All clear and his chest scan/x-ray is clear also :)
We have been told to 'monitor' him for the weekend and take him back into the vets on Tuesday for another examination and results of further tests which had to be sent away
he is a tad weedy and has all his fur missing on his neck and leg :(
we think the most likely senario is that whilst he was 'racing' howard on the staircase, he tripped and fell down the stairs and knocked himself out on the concrete wall ending in a episode of trauma
He keeps twitching down his back though so we cannot rule out further episodes of seizures and need to watch him closely, poor baby
I really thought we were going to lose Teoh yesterday, he looked at deaths door, so amazed and happy to have our number one boy home again
Howard hissed like mad when he got back, maybe the smell was different
Hoping its a one off accident and not a medical problem
xxx
-
A big :cuddle: for the little man.
Let's keep fingers crossed, and hope for good news on Tuesday.
x
-
phew! well that's a relief! I wonder why they did not xray his skull? Concussion would certainly cause the symptoms you described, so that may be the case. In which case the 'ticklish' spine should sort itself once he gets past the concussion. Fingers crossed. Such a tiny wee babe will hopefully not have fallen hard enough to cause more serious head injuries ... ;D
-
Fingers crossed for him
-
Glad he's home safely, fingers crossed it was a one off. Please let us know how he gets on on Tuesday :hug:
-
Glad he's home. I hope he goes from strength to strength and that there are no more seizures :Luv: :hug:
-
I'm back at my flat now.....and cant sleep after all the stress.
Yes we got Teoh back on Saturday, and he seems fine...and strangely enough more friendly after the 'incident'
Personally I think he knocked himself out, although I'm mightily glad I didn't find him in that sort of distressed/unconcious state and covered in his own poo.
Whilst I was worried about Debs being stressed, it really brought it into context how much I love Teoh...picking him up from the vets (and him being healthy) was such a relief :Luv:
Lets hope it was a one off :)
PS: sorry if I only contribute on purrs on this thread :scared:
-
Whilst I was worried about Debs being stressed, it really brought it into context how much I love Teoh...picking him up from the vets (and him being healthy) was such a relief :Luv:

Hi Blackcat
That is a very good point
They said he had 'no obvious injuries' which was of course a relief, but yes, if Teoh's head had been knocked so severely as too send him unconscious, then I agree they should have x-rayed his little skull. We were expecting a big bump on his head if he had knocked himself out but thankfully it all feels fine :)
I love to hear the boys play, but if Teoh's 'collapse' was the result of an accident, it has made me a tad nervous, I am scared stiff to let them play/race unsupervised on the staircase now tbph
Taking Teoh to see the vet and collect further test results tomorrow at 6pm, fingers crossed all will go well for him. Not sure he will be happy leaving his home, he did not much enjoy his night in a cage with other animals, dogs and tortoises for company, they say he was rather stressed, poor love :(
Baby Howard went shopping today and came back with a nice big tin of Quality Street!!! He says they are for the nice ladies at the vets as they dropped everything to make his big brother well, bless his furry Bengal socks ;)
Thank you Ruth, Helen, Desley and Susanne for the good wishes, Jules and I promise to keep you updated on Teoh's progress. Thank you all for thinking of him :thanks:
Love from Debs x
-
Hello all
Just to let you know that all test results (bar one) are back and were all fine!
Teoh is getting back to normal at home. Seems far more affectionate to us and totally adores his carry/travel case now!
He got in it to travel last night without any help and was a very good boy for the vet!
Hopefully it was a one off although she says she cannot rule out further seizures so to keep him closely monitored
Thank you all for your support
:) :) :)
-
Debs that's fantastic news. A big :cuddle: to Teoh. And for you too, bet you've been worried.
-
Hello Ruth
Thank you :Flowers:
Yes, worried sick!!!!
I know it's silly but I have not been able to concentrate at work and spend all night now with my bedroom door and one ear open, just in case they need me!
:Luv2: :Luv2:
-
I know the feeling :hug:
-
Awww
So it's normal to worry so much then :-[
How are Zephyr and Lexy?
Hope they are well :)
-
I think Sam is back from holiday so she'll be able to tell you how Zephyr the Arisocat is. :Luv: As for Lexy she's fine, when she was ill with cystitis and bladder stones I didn't sleep for days with worry. So its perfectly normal hun.
-
Oh poor Lady Lexy, that does sound painful, you must have been very worried too :(
Glad she is better now and I hope she is back to ruling her kittydom in Splendor
Zephyr and Howard are both aristocats!!!
Howard has the most 'Lord-Snooty' face going bless him
Teoh is more of a street-fighter Chuck Norris kind of cat lol
I put it down to their genetics (different Dads, same Mum) rather than the way we have brought them up :evillaugh:
-
Must admit that photo of Howard in your avatar is just gorgeous. He does look like Lord Snooty. :evillaugh:
-
Hee hee
Proper Little Lord Snootington our Howard!
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/Howard062.jpg)
:rofl:
-
:drool; Let him visit me please!!! Lexy won't mind.. much.
-
Good News and Bad here Ruth
Howard say that he would very much like a visit to the Queen Lexy palace, but ahem he is rather particular in his requirements...
He states that in order to keep up his image he will need a helicopter to collect him please. He requests that he would like to have an entire wing of Lexy's palace at his disposal. He would like a welcome jacuzzi bath complete with a bowl of caviar and finest champagne :evillaugh:
Bless, he had no chance, look at his Father and it's no wonder Howard has Lord Snooty genes ;D
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/shadow4.jpg)
-
:rofl: Debs that's a fab picture! His dad is gorgeous.
Lexy says that if Howard visits her palace he must realise she is queen, therefore, he'd be lucky if he gets a radiator bed, so be happy you get anything!
:evillaugh:
-
:scared:
Lord Howard has just checked his diary and claims that he is jolly busy with engagements, so says that he is very sorry, but he cannot visit Queen Lexy after all
-
:evillaugh: You have to post more pics of him Debs, he's so cute.
-
Howards dad? :innocent:
-
No, Lord Howard! Between him a Teoh we can get some bengly fixes we sorely need.
-
Awww
Here comes your bengally fix Ruth :hug:

:drool; thank you!!!!! That first pic is classic.

You are very welcome Ruth :)
Promise to update regularly :pic:
-
Well,
Unfortunately Teoh had another 'incident' today....
Luckily for him I was at Debs house when it happened, unluckily for me I witnessed the whole episode :(
Truly horrific to hear your pet make such distressing sounds whilst having what I can only descirbe as a 'seizure'...he then collapsed and couldn't move, with his tongue hanging out, panting again :(
He's back at the vets again over night, more tests have all proved negative (blood/ammonia levels seem fine) next is an MRI scan.
Any ideas what an MRI might pull up?
:thanks: for any replies x
-
What adorable little kitts ;D
I have a little ginger boy, he was a bottle fed from last year (from a gypsy site)
He is mainly spotted rather than striped- he's a mischievous little devil :naughty:
Jo at MCAW
-
Aww, fingers crossed there is nothing too serious.
-
Poor Teoh, and what a worrying time for you both. I hope the vet can come up with some ideas as to why this is happening, and that it can be treated. It must be horrible watching a much loved furry having seizures like that :hug:
-
Thank you Desley and Suzanne
Yes, I feel very sorry for Jules as he witnessed the whole episode, last time I just found Teoh twitching at the foot of the stairs but had no idea what had really happened :scared:
Teoh is home and will be having an MRI scan next week. the vets said that he will need to be sedated to go through the tunnel still as the scan will not photograph properly if he moves, poor baby
We feel he has epilepsy as Jules has found a lot of information on the internet last night and it seems to be identical to Teoh's symtoms
They need to rule out brain tumors though, so fingers crossed
They are very cagey at the vets... but I guess they must be certain before they offer us a diagnosis just in case they get it wrong
Here he is with a little bandage on his leg as he has been fed with a drip again, poor boy was ravenous when he arrived home this morning
Sooooo glad he is home and so is Howard, he was lost without his big brother last night to play with :(

Off for a quick snooze now, haven't slept very much since yesterday
:thanks: all x x x
-
Oh Debs, Jules. You poor things.
I hope Teoh is ok today. :hug:
I know it can't be pleasant to see it. I've been there, with a pup I had many years ago. It's heartbreaking I know.
You have done well so far and I hope the MRI scan proves something that can be treated.
Sleep tight xx
-
Poor little Howard :( Really hope you can get to the bottom of it, as far as I know Epilepsy is controllable in cats it's just a case of gettingthe correct dosage of meds - you can cross that bridge if and when you come to it.
On a happier note, Teoh looks as stunning as ever despite his trauma, I love that he has his very own model car too :)
-
I love that he has his very own model car too :)
Awww
Thanks Helen
Yep, Jules made sure that the boys have their very own little red sports car, just like Daddy :car:
:Luv2:
-
I wondered epilepsy too, fingers crossed it is something like that rather than something more serious.
-
Poor baby, hope they find what it is and can deal with it! :hug:
-
Hi Deb & Jules,
For some reason I had missed all the recent photos and news on Teoh! But I'm back upto speed now .... the pics of the boys are fabulous - I love the one of Howard snoozing :Luv2:
So sorry to hear that Teoh has been "poorly" and fingers crossed the MRI will get to the bottom of the problem.
Sending big hugs to you both and lots of cuddles and snuggles to the boys.
-
:thanks: to you all for being so lovely x
Teoh has had a pretty rotten day he has had his MRI scan and a spinal tap/CSF today
The poor little boy is slumped at home right now still very dozey from his sedation
Look what they have done to his fur :(
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/016.jpg)
The vet said that they have unfortunately found 2 areas of concern in his brain and his spine, they say they do not look like 'obvious' tumors, but they are sending them off to the lab for a second opinion along with some more blood tests...
She mentioned an increased signal at T1 and T2 of his spine and a slight enhancing/swelling in the pituitary area of the brain
Does anybody here know what this could be please or had a cat with a similar diagnosis?
Worried sick :( :( :(
Poor little boy, hope he will be mended soon
He will be getting all of your hugs and cuddles all over again when he wakes up tonight :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
-
Poor Teoh :hug: I'm afraid I don't know anything about the suggestions the vet has put forwards. It might be worth your while starting a new thread in 'Health & Behaviour' with an appropriate title to see if anyone has had a similar experience or previous knowledge.
Please give Howard a gentle head kiss from me, his fur will soon grow back and meanwhile you can gice him lots of skin kisses instead of fur kisses :Luv:
-
Thank you Helen
Thats a very good idea
Kiss applied gently :thanks:
xxx
-
So sorry that Teoh is poorly, Ive not been on for a while so missed this thread until today. Sending Teoh all the positive vibes and huge huggles xxx :hug: for you and Jules Tell him that he still looks handsome even with a shaved back.
Get better soon Teoh xxx :hug:
-
Thats a really lovely thing to say Sheryl thank you
Teoh will be very pleased to hear that when he is awake :ahh:
-
So sorry to hear about Teoh I hope they find out what is wrong soon and its not too serious
-
Aww, I have no advice, but keeping you in my thoughts.
-
Hi ya Debs how the patient doing .... any more news from the vet?
-
Hi Sam
The patient is on top form and looking very content :thanks:
We are waiting for a second opinion on his MRI scan, the expert who is doing it on her hols but will be back on the 22nd and hopefully will take a look and may be able to help him further
I wonder how long it takes for fur to grow back?
His back is looking very sorry for itself, good job he is a house cat or he may have got sunburnt today!
Howard says hello!!!
Debs x

Ahhh glad to hear Teoh (aka Baldy) is doing OK :rofl:
Fingers crossed the 2nd opinion will throw a bit more light on the situation. With regards to the fur regrowth it's hard to say but I think about 6 weeks or so if my memory serves me right when the girls were spayed!
Sending lots of love and cuddles to Teoh and Howard :Luv2: :Luv2:
-
Good luck for the second opinion - it can take a while for the fur to grow back, Rolo and Molly still have shorter fur from where their necks were shaved for bloods, they were done in Dec and Jan respectively. Tigers fur took ages after her ultrasound.
-
What stunning cats you have!
And i'm sorry about Teoh, I hope they can fix him soon!
-
Hi Debs,
Glad to hear that Teoh is doing well, good luck for the 2nd opinion. I bet Howard is quite a big boy now, which breeder did you get your Benglies from? My Mums friend is interested in a Silver and the breeder we got ours from is not breeding many silvers anymore.
When Mellika was spayed in Sept she had all her fur back by Christmas.
Take care, huggles for Teoh and Howard xxx
-
Awww
Thank you everyone for your lovely kind words :thanks:
We should get the second opinion back tomorrow or Wednesday so fingers crossed
Teoh's fur has started to grow back, yippee!
But it has a long way to go....
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/024-1.jpg)
Yes Sheryl, Howard is a big boy now, about the same size as a normal adult cat but way behind Teoh on size, Teoh is massive!!!!!
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/026-1.jpg)
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/033-1.jpg)
Do you know why the breeder is not breeding silver's anymore?
In America Silver Bengals are not recognised as a pure pedigree... and in all 3 of my bengal cat books, there are only photographs of brown ones! Not sure why :-:
The breeder we used is in Bristol, Redgrave Bengals
I have also heard that silverglam are very good too, Howard's father 'Silver Shadow' is a stunning stud from Silverglam, Howard really is his father's son :Luv2:

Hi ya Debs ... keeping everything crossed for the results.
Love the pics of the boys hunting through the window :Luv2: :Luv2: :Luv2: Glad to hear the fur is returning.
-
Thank you Sam :)
Not sure what had caught their eye in the garden this time!
-
Whatever it was I'm sure it was happy there was a window between it and them :rofl: :rofl: I have a feeling Teoh would be a proper little leopard when it comes to hunting.
-
:rofl:
It's a good job the boys are 'housecats'... as I dread to think what the 2 little snow leopard's might bring home between them after an afternoon's hunting session!
:evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
-
Those pics dont do Teoh justice :Crazy:
He was sniifing our tea on the dining table the other evening...ie stood up and head over the table with his paws on the table
The table top is 850mm high....so I guess he must be 1000mm stood up, and Howard is nearly the same length/high :-:
Big cats indeed :naughty:
-
Teoh is so muscular!!!
His heck, head and shoulders are solid muscle and he is still growing :shocked:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/027-1.jpg)
True, the pics don't show his size off properly, waiting with camera to catch him fully stretched out ;)
It's quite a shock when he stands up to see how tall/long he is!
-
Any news - was the second opinion good?
-
They are both gorgeous and huge. Our new little snow boy Teeko looks like he is going to be a big boy- he is only 4 months old and is alreaddy nearly 3kg!, Raffiki our Silver marbled boy is very tall and muscular but doesnt weigh as much as our brown spotted girl Mellika who is a real chunky girl, they were born on the same day but are not related.
Im not sure why our breeder isnt breeding many silvers anymore she is also not breeding many blues now, she is concentrating on snows and browns and is also breeding savannahs now too.
Any news on Teohs 2nd opinion yet, fingers crossed that the news is all good xxx
-
is her name Jackie Sheryl?
-
Hi Dawn - yes its Jacky @ Purebliss
-
Only just read all this thread, Teoh and Howard are both beautiful cats. I really hope that Teoh's fits get sorted out and it is not serious, I have 3 Bengals 2 brown spotted males and 1 marbled girl. Sending you lots of love+ :hug: will be thinking of you all. xxx

Hello all
Good news and bad today regarding little Teoh
It was a bit of a palava today tbh, the receptionist claimed that she had no idea when the results would be back as (and I quote) we don't usually send brain scans away for second opinions so this is all a bit new to me!
I asked her if I could telephone the other laboratory myself, I was on hold for an age and then she told me that our vet would chase it up for Jules and I today
The vet has 'just' telephoned me at home at this late hour to say that Teoh's second opinion on his brain scan is clear of tumors and has come back 'normal' :)
It was sent for a second opinion to an expert at the laboratory as there were 'increased signals/activity in his brain and spine'
The diagnosis is that Teoh has not had a head injury as first thought. He also does not have a brain or spinal tumor. Our vet originally said that although the MRI scan did not look like an 'obvious' mass/tumor, it was increased activity and she wanted to be sure that there was no tumor there and find out why there were such increased activity/signals when MRI scan's usually show nothing at all out of the ordinary
The expert at the lab told our vet that she is 95% certain that Teoh is suffering from epilepsy caused by electrical activity in his brain hence the increased electrical signals seen on his scan
Teoh's level of electrical activity in his brain is very high :'(
Our vet confessed that she did not think that it would be epilepsy as it is very rare in cats :-:
Jules thought this pretty much all the time, perhaps he should be a vet!
So, we have to 'monitor' Teoh now, he may not have a fit again, but the expert suggested to our vet that if he has another seizure within the 2 months of the last one that he should be given medication to control his seizures
The medicine does has side effects she said, so it may be that we have to monitor him for a while and find out the frequency of any future fits to be able to get his dosage correct before he starts any medication
So, very good news that our boy does not have a brain tumor and we will have him for a nice long life :Luv2:
But, not so good is that we now know that he is epileptic and could possibly suffer with that all his life
There is a chance that he may never have another fit, so fingers crossed and thank you all for being there
Sorry to ramble on :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[

ooooh what good news that Teoh doesn't have a tumour. Fingers crossed he will grow out of the epilepsy.

:thanks: Sam
Going to swot up on your sites right now :)
-
If he does have to have medication it really can stabilise them - though you may need to hide tablets in very nice foods :evillaugh:
-
Aww, fingers crossed he stays stable, we do have a couple of members with epileptic cats on here, I Can't understand why the vet would say it was rare. Good luck with him.
-
So glad for you that he doesn't have a tumor, just praying that he doesn't have another fit :Luv:
-
So glad for you that he doesn't have a tumor, just praying that he doesn't have another fit :Luv:
Thank you Caroline
I have just had to stop the boys play fighting, it seems when Teoh gets over excited he is more likely to fit plus we are coming up to month later so watching him like a hawk as it says on many of the cat epilepsy sites that the fits often go in 30 days cycles :scared:
You have Bengals :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Please can you post some pics of yours, I would love to see them :Luv2:
Sure the boys would too!

That's good news
Teoh was quite a good boy when he had his tablets last time, I hid them in small pieces of chicken breast from M&S!!!
Walked away from the first attempt to put said tablet directly into his mouth with only a few minor scratches on my face and throat!!! :evillaugh:
If all else fails, Jules loves his steak so I might steal some of his finest fillet steak to disguise Teoh's medication, he will never guess! :naughty:
Thanks Desley, glad to learn that Teoh is not as rare with this condition as our vet believes :thanks:
He is only just one year old just a baby still really
It does worry/sadden me when told by a vet that she had ruled that diagnosis out originally as she thought it was so rare!
I would give anything to make Teoh better, poor little love :ahh:
-
Good news that Teoh does not have a tumour - Phew.
My sisters cat was diagnoes with epilepsy 4 yrs ago and with medication she is fine - over time they have decreased the dosage.
Stay well Teoh xxxx

Yep Debs I have 3 Bengals and 2 moggies. Here are a couple of picts but I do have more pictures of them on purrs. some reason I can't put any on at the moment. (don't no why) :(

Wow!!! :wow:
Thank you Caroline, your photo's are a real treat to wake up too!!!
You are so lucky, what stunners they all are, I especially love the pic of them all snuggled up on your bed, they look gorgeous with the 3 different variations of perfect bengal fur!
The picture of Sabre on his back made me do a double take, it's so much like the picture of Teoh taken on his very first night here!
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/18052007602.jpg)
Simba's fur is the most amazing colour there and what a distinguished face
I really adore the richness of the brown bengals, Teoh's Dad is a brown bengal he is called Apollo, his fur shimmers, the breeder keeps saying the silvers 'drip with glitter' but I cannot see it, I have only really seen that on Apollo being brown
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/1174339652.jpg)
Oh dear. This is bad. I must not get another bengal but I have completely fallen for Sky :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
What a cutie pie she is!!!! I have not seen very many marbled Bengals, never in real life, only spotted ones, she is beautiful :Luv2:
They look as if they all get on very well
Did you get them at the same time or are they different ages?
Do they get on alright with your moggies?
One of the last litter our breeder had was given back to her as apparently the bengal terrorised the lady's moggie! :evillaugh: :evillaugh: :evillaugh:
Brilliant photo's Caroline, thank you so much for starting the day off with a great big smile :clap:

Hi Sheryl
Sorry to hear about your sister's cat :(
But thank you for letting us know that she is doing fine on her medication, that's most encouraging to know
Good news about her dosage being decreased too
Fingers crossed she may not need medicine again one day :Luv2:
Debs xx
-
Thanks Debs yes they get on great. Sabre+Sky were from the same breeder but from different litters.Sabre was born 8th feb07 and Sky was born 2nd march 07.Simba was born 23rd feb 07. Simba has been suffering from I B D and has been the vets loads of time for a bad tummy. :'(
They get on fine with Corky our 11 year old male (did take a while though) but Geri our 5 year old girl still stays out of their way. Sky and Geri are even worse, think Sky wants to be Queen cat. Lol.xxx

Caroline thank you!!!
What a wonderful baby Bengal fix!
They are all so adorable, but this little darling is my fave pic, cannot stop staring at Sky as a baby. I loved her before but now with baby pics awwww :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:
Jules said to me that Sabre remind's him of Teoh as a baby too, it's uncanny especially as they are different colours
Simba's Mum is beautiful, wouldn't it be nice to find a picture of Monty too, bet he is stunning!
I am so happy looking at your pics Caroline, they are fab :)
Jules is probably a tad worried that I would like a third bengal (brown) now :scared:
As if eh.... :naughty: :naughty: :naughty:
-
Glad to see Teoh is looking better Debs. :hug:
As for a third bengal... now why would Jules object... he wouldn't dare.. would ya Jules :naughty: :naughty:
-
Hee hee :innocent:
I have just popped into the bedroom to see Jules having a Sunday afternoon snooze with Teoh snoozing next to him
Howard is snoring his head off downstairs on the sofa next to me
It would be lovely to see a little one like Sky snuggled in too
But no more Bengals for now, not until we have a bigger house!
Then I reckon it will be okay!
;)

As for a third bengal... now why would Jules object... he wouldn't dare.. would ya Jules :naughty: :naughty:

:thanks: Debs, yes it would be lovely if we had a pict of Monty,I would also of liked a silver Bengal but at the moment we have enough Lol.
The markings on your babies are beautiful. Caroline. :Luv:

:thanks:
I agree 5 cats are probably enough for now, you must have your hands full with them! ;D
-
I also have 5 sons too! xx
-
I also have 5 sons too! xx
:what:
You'll be telling me that you have 5 daughters as well next!
Goodness, 5 cats, 5 sons...
And I have trouble looking after the two bengals at times!
Hat's Off to You Caroline! xx
:bow:
-
Not quite but hubby did find out a few years ago that he had a daughter which he new nothing about,(from a one night stand) it happened before I met him,but was still a bad shock as we would of liked a daughter of our own.The bad thing is his own brother new about it and never said anything to him. >:(The one night stand was with his brothers common inlaw wife.She was adopted. :(
-
Oh that is really sad
So sorry to hear that :'(
-
:thanks: it took me a very long time to get over the shock, still hard most of the time xx
-
Big group hug for you Caroline xx :grouphug:
-
:thanks: you :Luv: How are your kitties today?
-
I am not feeling very well today so am at home
They are both lovely :Luv: :Luv:
The boys have been very excited and I have been trying to sleep most of the day, but not that simple.... scratch scratch scratch at the bedroom door from them! :tired:
They are not allowed in the bedroom since they scratched the beuatiful designer leather bed to bits :censored:
They are both now asleep and I am off to the doctors in a moe, my ear is quite painful and I am full of the sniffles so best see the quack as cannot really be home from work too long
Time for Teoh and Howard to play doctor to me for a change! :heeee heeee:
Off to doctors now xx
-
:thanks: you :Luv: How are your kitties today?
They both say hello!!! ;D

Hi Debs,
Hope you are feeling a bit better today and Dr Howard Hunter and Consultant Teoh are looking after you :evillaugh:
-
Hi Debs,
Hope you are feeling a bit better today and Dr Howard Hunter and Consultant Teoh are looking after you :evillaugh:
Yes Sam, the medics are being very attentive and looking after me a treat thank you.
Dr Howard Hunter is chasing his stethoscope around the room as I type and Consultant Teoh says it's best all round if we all take (yet another) snooze! ;)
Although, today it appears Dr Howard Hunter and Consultant Teoh Tiger think the best thing for me is to play 'let's tickle the cats tummies'
They are funny and keep staring at me until I catch either eye, then they fling themselves on their backs spotted tummies ready for tickling!
It's getting quite competitive, each trying to out do each other in the cutest tummy stakes!!!
They do teach them some odd methods in medical school thesedays
But their company is a real tonic and I am feeling far better today ;D
-
P.S. Got to be well for tomorrow....
Because it is a very special day
It is ahem "Somebody's" 40th Birthday!!!!!

Hello Sam,
Thanks for the e-mail...and yes we are still all well and alive :shy:
We don't post on here much as we both think that our posts could seem like 'look at our Bengals'.....that's certainly not the case, but we don't get online that much (well I do, but I'm always chatting about fixing my broken car >:( )
Anyways, Debs mum has kindly bought the duo a newer/bigger carry case, as they have pretty much eaten the smaller one we got when Teoh was a nipper....and I MEAN eaten it :innocent:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/mumbasket002.jpg)
We questioned Teoh about it.....but he has found his gay side, and now only resides on silk surfaces after his illness :innocent:
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/paris117.jpg)
When pushed, he gave me his Paddington 'hard' stare ;)
(http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z25/redgrave_teoh_tiger/camchain009.jpg)
I'll twist Debs arm to get some pics taken of Howard, the ickle mite never stays still for more than five seconds these days.
Joking aside, Teoh has been fine since his seizures...I'm now 100% convinced he knocked himself out both times. They both fight more than ever (and make up equally afterwards) and since Teohs trips to the vets he has truly become a 'loving' animal; he sits with us on the sofa most nights, which is very nice indeed :Luv: Howard also does 'monkey see, monkey do' and is joining in the love fest :)
So all in all, all is well in the household :Luv2:
-
Gorgeous pics :Luv: :Luv:
we both think that our posts could seem like 'look at our Bengals'.....
And the problem with that is...????? No such a thing as too many pics on purrs ;)
-
Ok,
Every time I come on here I get inspired to look at all of the kitten pics of our boys when we met them and invited them to live with us...
Happy days :Luv2:
One of Howard then, one of (if not) the best looking spotted Bengal I've seen...not that I'm biased mind you :innocent:

Hi ya Jules & Debs,
Great to hear from ya ... I can't see anything wrong with "Look at our Benglies" posts .... most of us have "known" the boys since they were babies and it's lovely to see pics of them and to see what beautiful boys they have grown into.
Great to hear that Teoh is fit and well (and in touch with his femine "silky" side :rofl: ) and has turned into a cuddle bum :Luv2:
I love the pic of the boys in their baskets sooooo cute.
Don't be strangers and feel free to post as many pics as you can find.
All the best
Sam, Foxy, Zephyr and Rossi xxx

Evening all :Luv:
We went for a walk this afternoon, and I got bitten whilst stroking a random cat...he loved the attention right up until he decided my hand must taste like premium cat food :shify: and we realised we hadn't been on this sit for a while...sorry :'(
Teoh and Howard are fine these days, no more fits for Teoh which is great :Luv:
We've just got back from barcelona (where the camera went missing) so we can't post any pics....but Howard is still long/thin and always on his back wanting his tummy stroked.
Teoh is.....well....massive now. 2.5 years old now and I would think he's about 10kg, he eats like a bladdy horse too :Crazy:
I'll post some recent pics when we replace the camera.
Hope you are all keeping well :shy:
-
Woo Hoo hi ya guys,
How spooky I was only thinking about you two (sorry, you 4) the other night and was gonna send you a message to see how Teoh was getting on. Fab news that he hasn't had any more fits ... long may it continue.
Lovely to hear from you again. Glad you had a nice time in Barcelona and really looking forward to seeing pics of Howard and Fatty Teoh :rofl:
-
Hi and :welcome: back - lovely to hear from you and I am so glad that Teoh is doing well and brilliant news that he hasnt had any more fits x
Big hugs for Teoh and Howard - look forward to some up to date photos of your gorgeous boys x
-
:Luv2:
And so we are here again! whenever I think about 'getting' Teoh I think about Purrs and the great advice we had all those years back :)
14 years ago now (where did they go?) I'd genuinely like to thank everybody for the advice you all gave us both back then - it really was appreciated
On a sombre note - Teohs days left are numbered. He has heart/kidney failure and has oedema everywhere. He's happy, active and hungry still :P but his trip to the rainbow bridge will be pretty soon :(
On a brighter side - Howard is still with us and mental as always! keeping him away from Teoh has been tough but necessary
So. Thanks all :) Teoh has been loved soooo much by us and he's given it all back. This was the first place I posted about #1 son so I felt it would be fitting to close the thread circle
All our best to all :(
-
wow I can't believe all that time has passed, sorry to hear that Teoh is ailing but you have a lifetime of love to remember i'm sure :hug:
