Ohhh look at those little faces!!!! The top little guy (Sterling?) has a naughty look in his eye!!! And I love the middle guys face - he looks very curious and alert looking!

And the last little guy - look at those eyes and the eye markings!!!!! It looks like he's just pleading to be taken home!!!

I tell you what, our Stumpy has no tarnish, you can have her and I'll take Trey off your hands

Wow they really are cute Nial. But the first picture (who is it) has a nice "bullseye" pattern....thought it was supposed to be random

Unfortunately mother nature doesn't always co-operate with what we breeders want.


Fortunately he's a spotted boy and not marble, so it's not a big deal.

Watching the robins sing!
Oh my! They get more adorable every day - I don't see how you can bear to part with any of them! I love the looks of the silver boys - they are going to be little terrors in a week or so!

The boys are changing alot on a daily basis now. They are transitioning from feeling like fat beanie babies, to filled out kittens. Their limbs are getting longer and they move around much more quickly and have some agility now.

Their "fuzzy ugly" stage is just beginning. This is where the guard hairs come in to obscure the pattern. Mother natures way of protecting the babies in the wild and hiding them from predators by allowing them to blend in with their environment.
In some of these photos you can see the guard hairs creeping over the top of the spots. These hairs start falling out at 8 to 12 weeks of age.


This is Sterling, he refused to look at the camera. He's a nice looking boy, very clear coated, no tarnish, brave little kitten on his first visit to the great outdoors.



This is Morgan, much darker and sharper contrast. He will take after Jack. Tarnished when he was born, but it has since gone away. Tail straight up, he's a happy boy!



This is Trey, his tarnish seems to be at a standstill. Not getting worse or better. He's the big bruiser of the 3, a huge boy for his age. He was a little unsure of being outside, but was quite brave.

Ohhh... Thank you for my silver baby fix for the night!

BTW: My manager caught me on TCS at work and commented on how cute your kittens are!

They are absolutely precious!
I hadn't even heard of the bengal breed until I saw the beautiful Takoda! Your babies are always so gorgeous. You certainly have given me an incentive to want to add a cute bengal when I start looking for a sister for Lexi.

Oh Morgan, you have THE cutest face!!!!!


I love how Trey's the big bruiser


How's the rest of the litter going? Would you mind putting them up, or into another thread? I love the brown's... :p

Do you think you'll keep any of this litter, or is it still too early to tell?

Hehe, Duchess.. make sure Lexi's got lots of attitude! Bengals come with *tons* of attitude (but we wouldn't get rid of ours..but the other kitties *must* have attitudes to deal with them. Poor Mau gets trounced regularly.)

Gotta love a Bengal, though. And those little babies certainly are adorable!

Hey guys!
I just stumbled on this thead and thought it was kind of relevent since I'm in the process of kitty-shopping myself.


I already have a Bengal girl (brown spotted) and was looking to get a silver boy. (Not for breeding, just for friends!) Anyway, I find myself being the most indecisive human being on earth while trying to figure this out. I wanted the Silver, since it would be "different", but there's something super-exotic about the brown spotted Bengals who have that light colored/buttery base coat. So, quick poll, which do you guys think is more exotic looking, a brown or a silver?


Here's the picture of the kitty that I'm thinking about buying. I welcome your critiques! I'd like to be able to show him in the "alter" category, so please keep that in mind.


THANKS SO MUCH!

Since you have a brown - go with the silver!

Our 2 fav ocicat colors are chocolate spotted and chocolate-silver spotted. We have the chocolate now. Up the road we will have a CS one
(already have his name picked out).
