Best wishes and keep us posted!!!

Simba can be as crazy as Zeke. He playfully torments Shane. He waits until Shane is comfortably sleeping then takes flying leap and pounces on him as hard as he can. The angrier Shane gets, the more fun Simba has. I think he LOVES it when he gets Shane upset. Shane is a HUGE cat and Simba is a small Bengal and you will see this small little Bengal gleefully chasing a great big 25 lb Siamese around the house, while all the while Shane is growling and hissing and hissing at him. Simba pounces on SunLee as well, but she enjoys it, until Simba gets too rough. SunLee will turn around and chase Simba back, but she has her limits, and Simba just doesn't seem to have any limits.

Simba knocks things down, like my knic/knac's and My Little Pony colletions. Simba doesn't like certain drawers closed, and he opens them up so often that I've finally given up, and I leave the drawers open for him.

I'm hoping another Bengal will play at Simba's level, and hopefully, he'll keep Simba more occupied and thus away from poor older Shane.

Hope, I'm crossing my fingers for you! It would be wonderful for you to get Ziggy as a playmate for Simba!


I read through the adverts too and have fallen for Willow! Bless her!

Oooh... Hope I have my fingers crossed that you will get Ziggy Stardust (awesome name BTW!).
What a handsome boy he is!

Best of the best luck to you! I know what the wait is like.
If you get him, you'll both be very lucky.

Are you sure you don't mean SunLee or Shane looking like your Nana's Siamese? Simba is a Bengal, and I don't think he looks Siamese at all.

I'm in love with Sam. He's a real beauty. It looks like he has some nice rosettes, but it says he doesn't get along with other cats, and must be rehomed with no other cats. Same thing with Bella.

It is such a shame that so many requre to be rehomed alone!


At least you are able to offer Ziggy a loving home! Have you had any news yet, Hope?!

Haven't heard from them yet. It sounds like it's quite an ordeal to get them from the Rescue. I have to complete the application, then I guess they have to check that out, then they have to verify with my landlord than I'm allowed multiple cats, then they have to come visit me and see my home, and probably meet my cats, and then I guess they decide whether or not I'm acceptable.

Gosh, that is quite and ordeal! But it's better for them to be safe than sorry!

I hope the process goes smoothly and swiftly for you though!
I'm sure that they'll be very happy to place Ziggy with you especially as you have a Bengal too, so you are used to their behaviour!


Sending lots of quick application }}}VIBES{{{ your way!
