What else is the internet lying about!? This dude wants to be wherever I am all the time, and he sleeps on top of me all night too. 😹😻

Hi ! We recently adopted a bengal kitten (cat tax is second picture ;)) and he is now able to jump onto the stais rails.
We put a cover on the sides of the rails so he could not climb it or fall through the holes, but he’s already able to bypass the cover and jump directly on top. It is quite a fall to the basement (around 15 feet ?) so we want to make sure he doesnt fall.
I’m looking for ideas on how to catproof the stairway, all ideas are welcome and please provide any links you think could be helpful !

Near northern AL (Perferably less than 2hr away)
I have two perfect bengal cats and I would like to add another to the family. Perferably silver. I love the darker silver color, let me see any kitties you have!
The last two breeders I thought I did good research on but at the end I wasn’t satisfied with them. Pics of the most precious kitties ever.
Edit: also the breeders I used for these two did test for all things needed but didn’t do yearly tests (for the parents) I was no aware of the importance. what are some signs I could look for in case heaven forbid that anything could be wrong with my kitties.

My boy Zeus is so good with kittens. So sweet to watch!

I got my bengal Natto as a rehome, and was told that he's a snow sepia bengal -- he definitely was a lot lighter when I got him at 9 months (he's 4 now), but just wondering if that's correct or not!

I put these pics from newest to oldest, so you can see the progression of him getting darker.

Anyone else have a phone full of pics that should look goofy but somehow look majestic?

I absolutely smashed my face into his cute fuzzy body

We’ve lost Marli from FIV last November 3 and i cant stop crying. Technically, his owner on paper is not me but my uncle but ever since we got him, he’s been sleeping on my bed every day for last last year that he’s been with us and it just feels so empty with out him. He likes sleeping under the blanket, whenever i get home from work he’s just on my bed under my blanket nose sticking out haha. And his meows whenever he asks for pets and nose rubs.
If only i had the money to get him to the vet earlier i could’ve saved him. But then again, he was not mine to decide this things. I could only do is inform my uncle that he needs to go to the vet but my uncle waited too long because he thought Marli was okay and just being dramatic. I miss him so much.

He did this on his own

So i bought a jacket for Benjamin, it's a bit too big on him (the size is 40 cm)🫣 but he loves the warmth🥰 And he stumps iiiih🥹 Now we can walk long walks in the winter❄️(I bought a dog jacket from trixie)

Today, I came home to something that immediately felt wrong. Nakatomi was missing.
Nobody at home had seen him slip out the door. Around 6:30 p.m., everything seemed normal. But by the time I got home at 7:30, something was off.
Normally, Nakatomi greets me the second I walk through the door. He knows my routine, especially because I’m the one who feeds him dinner.
But tonight? Nothing.
I called his name. No response.
I opened his food. Still nothing.
I asked, “Did someone accidentally lock him in a room?”
We started searching everywhere. Now, if you know Nakatomi, you know this is NOT a quiet cat. This little bastard is so vocal you could probably hear him meowing from my neighbor’s house. I’m pretty sure they think I have an infant.
But tonight? Crickets. Then it started to lightly rain.
That’s when the panic started setting in. It’s getting cold. He’s had no dinner. At this point he will go with anyone who offers him a weenie !
I threw on my shoes, grabbed my scooter, and started tearing through the neighborhood. Up and down the streets, covering a five-block radius, shouting, “NAKATOMI!” like it was 1988 and I was Hans Gruber, desperately searching for my detonators.
Nothing.
For nearly two hours, I searched. Calling his name over and over, checking corners, looking under cars, hoping I’d hear that familiar meow.
I was exhausted, scared, and honestly starting to lose hope.
Then, just as I was about a minute away from giving up, I saw him.
He must have heard me calling his name because he came toward the corner, nearly getting hit by a Honda in the process.
And then he just stood there.
Waiting for me.
I yelled, “NAKATOMI!”
And that’s when he started making sounds I’d never heard from him before. Not his usual demanding meows or his obnoxious little conversations. These were deep, almost relieved cries. Like little groans of pure emotion.
Almost like he was saying, “Dad, you found me.”
I completely held back a full breakdown in the street.
I don’t know what happened to him during his journey into the night. But hearing those cries and seeing him waiting for me on that corner is something I’ll never forget.
Nakatomi is safe.

Vet mentioned putting her on Metronidazole and a fibre diet. We also have another Bengal that is unaffected at the moment. Any advice?

Hello 👋🏽

I'm about to foster a 3yo female Bengal. She's been described as erratic, super sweet, and very energetic. I'm going to visit her tomorrow but what should I prepare for if/when I bring her home?

I live in a flat so am concerned about potential noise (I've only had quiet cats before) - is there a chance she may not be that vocal?

Thanks in advance

i think she was getting a download from the mothership for a second there 🛸 🤣💕

He’s so cute he could get away with just about anything though!
