I have two Bengal cats. One is an older male(Guido) who has been fixed and I recently brought a new female(Cleo) home. They get along fine thats not an issue. My older male is one excellent hunter! We live out in the AZ desert and while our neighbors have rodent problems, we have none! My question has to do with my younger female. We just recently started to let her out during the daylight hours, (At night around here unless youre a seasoned "Desert Dweller" a domestic animal could wind up as dinner for a coyote or even a large bird of prey) Anyway, when she is outside, she has this odd stalking behavior.... she crouches like the normal felines do, however, her mouth kind of clicks open and closed and her head bobs up and down and from where I'm standing, it looks as though she's talking to whatever bird she is stalking! Its quite comical! Our first Bengal we had out here (Lazlo) didnt last very long because of his totally dauntless behavior- I never saw that beautiful creature ever CONTEMPLATE anything- he just did it! I think that is what led to his demise- lack of fear of ANYTHING. Anyway, Lazlo as a kitten used to sit on the front steps and have what appeared to be some lively conversations with desert Roadrunners- his mouth opening and closing and hid head bobing and weaving. Cleos mom is Lazlos sister, but Guido is from the same set of parents as Lazlo, just a different litter, and I've never seen him do anything like the other cats do. What is this , Some kind of wild hunting behavior? If anyone has a cat that does this I would like to know about it
Thanks
