Title: Hi from me and Kayla
Post by: Shazza on October 13, 2010, 13:22:37 PM
Hi, my name is Sharon, im 27 and live in Falkirk (Central Scotland)

I am a bunny lover to be honest, but i have recently taken on a cat. To cut a long story short, the cat lived with my friends boyfriend, when he moved in with her, Kayla (cat) did not get on with my friends dog. As a result, i have Kayla (who is a pretty bengal) living with me.

This is Kayla

Then there are my rescue bunnies

Summer (dwarf lop who is blind) and Giles who was abandoned in a carpark.

hello Shazza - hello Kayla - welcome to Purrs  :welcome:   Isn't she beautiful - you did well from that little exchange  ;D

The buns are lovely  :Luv:  How on earth could someone abandon a bunny in a car park?  :(  They look very content in their photos.

We have a good few Scots members on here Shazza, so no doubt you'll get to meet them on your travels around the forum.  Have fun exploring!

 :welcome: to Purrs Sharon  ;D

Glad you've found us, I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.  It really is a very friendly forum with lots of friendly helpful advice, if ever needed, and of course lots of fun.

I do feel it my public duty to warn you though that it can be a teensy bit addictive  :Crazy: You have been warned  :evillaugh:

Kayla is a beauty, Sue is right you definitely came out on top with that deal!  :Luv2: I don't have a Bengal myself but from reading about them they're pretty full on, especially if you're a newbie to the world of cats!

Your bunnies are gorgeous too, we have quite a few bunny-lovers on Purrs aswell  ;D

Wow aren't you the lucky one .. getting youraelf a gorgeous Bengal  :Luv2:

I've never been owned by a Bengal but I would love to be.  Not sure if they are anymore "full on" than any other cat really.  I think as long as they are loved, kept "amused" ... they are very intelligent so do get bored easily, fed and watered regularly you will have yourself a very happy litty.

One thing I have noticed about Bengals is that they do seem to be pprone to "delicate tummies" so I would recommend feeding the best quality food you can.  However as Kayla looks to be a happy healthy girl it's probably best to just stick with what she's on at the moment.

Your bunnies also look lovely  :Luv2:

Thank you for all the lovely welcomes and comments  ;D

I did have a cat when i was young (Timmy a black and white moggy) and worked in a cattery a few years back, so i have cat experience and knowledge, but could certainly do with a refresher course  :evillaugh:. She is incredibly noisy thats for sure, but that said she does settle as long as she gets a fuss before we do any human chores  :naughty:.

Diet is something i have to approach, as she is currently on supermarket food which agrees with her tummy but is not ideal. Its what she came with though. I dont see why someone would spend hundreds on a bengal and feed it rubbish  :shocked:. But we shall work on it, i am also aware cats are fussy wee things, so changes will be slow  ;).

I hope my questions dont get annoying, as i say, i am experienced, just need a refresher course.
