Hi everyone,
Seriously... how do we not already have a thread dedicated to cats already?
@Former-Member & @Faith-and-Hope 's conversation in another thread inspired me to start this thread.
This is a place that you can post pictures and talk about everything cats.

Hi @Former-Member @Faith-and-Hope @Adge
Just tagging another new member who I suspect likes cats ... thinking the profile name is a clue? 😊
@catladybookworm here is a thread which may interest you. This is a social thread and a good place to meet other members and a nice place to have a browse.

Hi all people that are accepted by felines. To have a feline in your life is so much about their preferences & strong 6th sense. When you are cared for by a cat, we are honoured. The honouring is forever. The beauty is so strong in the understanding. Interpretation of "speech", behaviour, needs & care.
Rescuing is vital, I have so frequently shared mutual love & respect. The adoption of a seriously traumatised feline has given me so much. Yes, this is so hard, however once you are accepted, the bond is forever: to be loved by a cat is everything.

I have told some of his story before, so perhaps I just need to say this again. When I had to destroy Bast, the loss was overwhelming. When you are so fortunate to attain the mutual love of a Bengal love matters. Bast needed so much comforting, he was raised in a breeder household that somehow harmed him. Perhaps the 2 year old child & other circumstances did this. I became his safe place, feline massages were the answer.
He devoloped mouth & jaw Ca, I did not notice, useless feline friend. He lost continence, finally we went to the vet. I thought he had a cold, instead I had him destroyed, I brought home a lost spiritual partner.
It took forever, the grief remains unresolved, going the Melba tunnel to meet Odin was terrifying, although the Bengal rescue Coordinator had strongly recommended that he was to be a part of my life.
Met the family & convinced them, I was suitable. Odin would no longer be thrown, punished & overfed. Back through the Melba tunnel same experiences twice. Now another Bengal to learn about & love. He will always be aligned with his ancestors & enrichingly wild. Odin is now a true Bengal, although he will never be Bast; so cleavour, athletic & determined. Odin has his freedom, he will seek comfort on his own terms, I believe that he knows that he is safe now. No more abuse, simply just mutual respect & love for a Bengal.

@Bast Funny what animal friends we end up with..... with our family it is a bunny. He is full of character runs around the house like a bat out of hell. Like a souped up teenager with a hotted up car. He makes loving noises around my feet and sits by my bed as he watches over me as I sleep. We love our bun he is part of the family. I am so happy that you have your Bengal. Love peaxxx

Your kitten sounds lovely @Bimby2 I love kittens, although mine have been very destructive (past) -
Shredding rolls of toilet paper everywhere, & even scratching & shredding the base of my toilet door.
Sometimes my cat Jelly hops into the empty bath, & laps up a bit of fresh water there.
