WildExpressions WeeWilly

We woke up to a beautiful day today and of course it was Mothers day so we headed over to my mother in laws apartment. She used to have a pair, bother and sister, of Russian Blues but they passed on a while back, with in months of each other. We had kept a male back as a potential stud and he moved in with her. It was a win win. We got a spectacular 2nd stud and she got a new friend.

We named him WildExpressions WeeWilly as he was the runt of the litter, a tiny little fellow, but he grew… and grew. Read more »

A while back I was placed into an induced coma with less then 5% odds of ever waking up. How I ended up in that situation is a story in its self but its effect on our businesses and our cattery was that they essentially came to a halt. The aquarium shop was closed for over 2 months and the cattery marketing was halted. We had two kittens at that time and one of them was nick named Goldie. Goldie is from a personality point of view perhaps the best kitten we have produced to date . Read more »

In a word, yes, but should you? No, not off a leash anyway. We feel so strongly about this as breeders that we have a clause in our contract fobidding it.

: Many people get cats because they can be an almost zero maintenance pet. Open the back door when it wants in or out and keep a bowl of food around. Heck, you can install a cat door and get a mechanized feeder if you want.

Bengal’s are a very very bad choice if that is what you are looking for. Read more »

Caring for Your Bengal

Caring for a bengal cat is much the same as caring for any other domestic house cat. They readily eat quality cat food, use a litter box and require the same vaccinations as other breeds of domestic cats. Like all domestic cats they should NEVER be allowed to roam outside unattended.

They have a short, pelted coat that requires a minimum amount of grooming although like most cats they enjoy a good brushing. Most Bengals do not shed much at all although I have seen exceptions. If your Bengal sheds more then you expected then wiping it down with a damp chammy once a week is often all that is needed to completely control it. Read more »

The Bengal

A young male posing.

Sitting here in my living room in Ontario Canada watching an amazing spotted kitten play it is hard to believe there isn’t some hidden catch. For many years people have wished to bring an exotic cat into their home as a companion but unfortunately it simply isn’t practical (and in most places it isn’t legal either). Breeders have attempted to create spotted cats and while they have succeeded the results never truly captured the exotic look of a wild cat until the Bengal. Read more »
