These pics are in response to Mschauer's question about the ear Ocelli that is exhibited in EG Bengals. Thought you all might be interested in seeing these.

The ocelli, are the light markings on the backs of the ears. This feature is rarely seen on the later generation bengals.


Kneading her favorite blanket




Marking my hand. She's incredibly affectionate. More so than any cat we've ever had, bengal or otherwise. Of course everything she does is extreme, be it loving or playing.

What I want to know is: What are her litterbox habits like? I know that some early gens have issues with that.

Of course I've heard the same things.

In her case she's 100% perfect in her box habits. She does use the toilet sometimes if the lid is left up, but I consider that 100% acceptable.

Thanks Nial!

She isn't full grown yet right? She looks like she has a pretty solid build. Is she going to be big?

That's fantastic.
I'd consider that acceptable, too!

She's got a bit more growing to do. She's very solid and muscular. Jumps from the floor to the top of the fridge are a no-brainer for her.

She's a bit bigger than the average female bengal, but my guess is that she'll only go 10 to 12 pounds max.

Sorry! I'm in the same boat you are though. These F-cats are expensive and addictive. I'd love to have a dozen of them.

But where would I put them all?
Can't afford another house.

I would love to one day own an F1 but Im not sure when that will be...Right now we have 8 cats soon to be 4 when the kittens have gone to their new homes in late June. 5 guinea pigs soon to be three when their babies go to their new homes this week. 4 dogs and a bird
I give a whole new meaning to "Full House"
My friends constantly ask me if Ive got my Zoo License yet

Ok, I just got a visual of her doing that (or something else spectacular) in front of your bengals and them all watching in awe. "Whoa.... look what SHE just did... dude!!!" Then they spend the rest of the day trying to do it too.
