You might want to contact someone involved in Bengal Cat rescue near you to get a better idea of their personality. You might also be able to get one who is past the psycho kitten stage. :)Quote:

Rebel when my son was in the army my sister would email him, she's a born again christian and is pretty bigotted about other races especially who have other religions like muslims. Well she sent him a email that basically said lets just bomb them all (not to long after 9/11 and there were alot of those going around). He wrote her back told her he appreciated the time she took to write him but in the future if she sent any more hate mail he'd block her and have no further use for her Aunt or not. lol she quit writing to him but he figured it was no big loss but she did tell me she was ashamed of herself after she looked at it through his eyes.
Speaking of eyes lol after a very frustrating wait with a simpleton and his brat also waiting on glasses I finally got mine took me 1 1/2 the brat about drove me nutty! But I can see woohoo!!! love it
just finished watching Quarantine..ughh gave me the creeps hated the ending was waiting for more..oh well..night everyone

It's a housecat, about 20lbs, usually 5 or 6 generations removed from the original wild cat. In other words, mix a wild cat (something like an ocelot) with a housecat, their offspring with housecats, & so forth, until the great great great great great grandkitties of the original wild cat have the pretty spots & a little bit of the wild cat's instincts.Quote:

I did look for bengal rescue clubs but havent been able to find one in Canada yet. There are other breeds with similiar markings like the Egyptian Mau.. maybe i'll look into those as well.Quote:

Star, its funny because normally when i recieve an email like that i get pissed but just delete it and dont respond. I guess i was in the right mood to argue today! I found out later that my friend didnt mean to send it to ME.. but he still sent it to everyone else, so i'm dissapointed in him.

I would never put a price tag on my furry family members but you have to draw the line somewhere. Personally i'd much rather take an animal in from the shelter who needs a good home.Quote:

Even when comes to dogs we need to find breed that suits our lives and environment, and too few do, and chose by visual and other appeal. Part of reason animals wind up in shelters sometimes. Love a breed enough though and you're happy to alter your lifestyle to accommodate a long dreamed of more rare companion. Would have bet money against my mom ever breeding mice to feed to her pets ...not ever, but she adapted to accommodate her dream snake pets. Broke her heart to give them up when she needed chemo. Raised two from fingerlings. Better chance of perfect fit if you learn all you can about the breed, whatever it is, from several sources. Then you can prepare and prevent some unhappy mishaps or possibly mismatches?
I met a man in his late seventies that was all set to get a pot belly pig until I pointed out their lifespan is longer than a dog (or could/should be) and that the animal would be arount long after he wasn't any more, most likely? He forgot to look into how long they live for. As it was he passed and hadn't named in his Will whom his purebred dogs (five of them) were to go to and they wound up going to wrong locations and less than ideal situations in some cases.
There is that mancoon long-haired really large breed housecat too. At least I think that's what they're called? Purdy! Saw some in Ottawa once long ago.
Can see why somebody would admire those Bengal cuties. Can think of several worse housepets that are quite common. Good luck with the search.
we know you all too well..Quote:

but then i needmy naps.
I TURNED 41 TODAY :yikes:
ooh guess what gues? last..week, i finally put a battery in my scale. i was like :icon_scratch: wtf?? scared me, scared me BAD. i din't put on that much over xmas. so my goal was to get down to my last known highest weight :zip: by the end of the month (2 weeks).
and today, i only got .8lbs to go. tg. losing weight is so hard for me. my goal is 2lbs/week, but i wouldn't mind losing more. :shade:
what are you doing up mb?
Happy Birthday NS ANGEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thank you so much chickey!
those into swagbucks, new post on twitter, first 200 only
Jumped on here when I woke up cuz I remembered it was a very special day!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR NS ANGEL!!!! HOPE YOU HAVE A TRULY WONDERFUL DAY! :occasion15: :occasion14: :occasion13:
Ok now I'm going back to bed only slept for a short time and have to get up early for my drs appt. Have a great day everyone!
ty but i could just :bawling:
my refund still isn't showing in the bank. should get dh to call them later and see wtf they're doing. he's home sick. supposed to get snowstorm today.
and i'm disappointed with ds' school. they have the best teachers, the best support system in place, a damn good behavior program. well, part of it rocks, part of it just bites!
ryan has 3 minors. 3 things he did wrong, and now has to fill out a paper.
like forgetting backpack, homework not done, getting in ppls personal space.
which is fine.
EXCEPT that some of them go back to jan 26. that's a month ago! i don't think it's beneficial to bring it up now. it was dealt with at the time, let sleeping dogs lie. would anyone want a mistake you made weeks ago thrown in your face?
children live in the here and now. this is only going to backfire on them. and i emailed and told them this, and suggested a shorter time frame like a week for older children, but they believe they are doing the right thing, and i probably won't get anywhere.
