Everything is settling down in the house hold, I can safely say that whoever said bengals weren't lap cats, are totally wrong
Honey came round pretty quickly and curls up next to me, I've even started letting her stay in my bedroom, when they kids aren't here (my 1yr old is still in my room) and she curls up at the end, Rori sometimes joins her on the bed but she's made a nest underneath that she loves to hide in.
Both kitties adore each other but I do run into an issue of when honey goes outside, Rori will meow the house down. And by god can that 9 month old scream
Since I've had rori, she's had the runs. I put it down to the stress of the move but her poos never got better. The vets gave me a pro-biotic for 5 days, it seemed to harden her poos up but 2 days after, she went back to the runs. But she seems more bengal now and her 3rd eyelid has retracted. I'm going to request that the vet checks for TF. But generally in herself, she is good.
I'm feeding them a mixture of a raw diet, kibble and wet food. I've found by using a 70% meat content and above food, the poo's aren't as smelly and they fart less
Honey REALLY enjoys eating raw, she makes a nomweoownom noise when eating it. It's a mix of pork, beef, chicken, liver and bone granules, can really tell a difference in both girls in the last 2 weeks. I get the meat as cut offs from my local butcher, basically the stock that was in the counters at the end of the day and not sold, I get for £10
that lasts for a whole month with making 1 meal a day for both girls. Because of this, I really don't have to feed them much wet or kibble. My mum rolls her eyes at it but I'd prefer them to have this raw in their diet, if it means helping them live a life away from the vets.
Honey free roams out in the garden, she goes into the neighbor's either side, she comes within minutes of being called. I will refuse to let her stay out, when I go out and she is never out at night. She seems happier now, more relaxed too. I walk her on the leash at night for about 30 mins, so she can get out and let her kitty senses kick in. Rori's recall is terrible and she goes floppy on the leash, so she needs a lot more work lol
I'm clicker training honey and in 4 days, I have taught her to stand on her catch tree and wait, as I walk out the front door. I'm also working on getting her to sit on a kitchen stool, before I open the back door. It's getting there but she'll only stay until you turn your back on her, in the kitchen
So, apart from Rori's runs, everything is going well. I really do love my girls, they run upstairs to greet me in the mornings when I wake up and they love their cuddle times. Rori has taken over the curtain pole and honey has taken over the sofa, so life is good. Here are some piccies of them.
I put a basket down for 5 mins, not intended for the cats, I go to answer the front door and on my return, find out that honey's got a new bed
Rori relaxing;
All hail princess rori
Rori stayed on that step for an hour, stalking a spider!
This is usually how I find the girls, before I go to bed, settled in for the night.
I went for this cat tree in the end, it was on sale in zoo plus for £45, reduced from about £100. It attaches to the ceiling but my ceiling is slightly too low to put the top on.
