Cute Kittens

[Python]

Meet the latest addition to our cat family, our two little boys Benjy and Harley. They are cross Bengal/DSH. Mum is a pure bred Snow Bengal who had a brief affair with the local Tomcat and four gorgeous kittens were the result. They've settled in well and are full of fun and mischief. Our other cat Chico has taken it upon HIMSELF to play surrogate Mum

Harley's the kitten on the left of the picture and Benjy is on the right. Benjy looks as if he'll keep his Mum's blue eyes, whereas Harley's are green.

Pretty cute. You will have a hard time telling who is who when they get big and fat. Maybe different color collars?

Nothing puts me in a better mood (other than a great bike ride) than to see cute pet photos. Except maybe a bike ride where I got to see a lot of cute pets as I whizzed by.

They have beautiful markings.
But equally important, is that your tat?

Yes. One of many tats

The kittens actually have slightly different markings (and eye colour). Benjy has a distinct beige coloured diamond shape at the back of his neck where Harley has stripes.

They are really playful and full of fun

Python, They are beautiful. Looks like you will have your "hands full", as if they aren't already. BTW, hope your son is doing well.

They are only 9 weeks old come this Monday. They're half Bengal and Bengals are big cats. They were only 7 weeks old when we got them but were the same size as a 9 - 10 week old DSH (Moggy).

One of the kittens is Ian's (Harley). Ian wanted the kitten as a companion for Chico. Chico is really good with the kittens, plays with them, washes them, curls up with them which is really nice that they all get on together. I haven't introduced the kittens to the dog yet. That should be fun They get their first set of vaccinations on Friday coming so I'm keeping them away from the rest of the cats until the vaccinations are all done.

Ian is doing quite well at the moment and my brother has a date for the first batch of tests next week so it's really just a waiting game for us at the moment.

Zen they're an actual breed like Siamese etc. They were originally a cross with an Asian Snow Leopard and a DSH, usually an Oriental, hence the blue eyes and spots. There are two patterns types - spotted and marbled. Ours are marbled but their bellies are spotted. The males grow larger than an normal DSH. The Bengal's weight for a male is between 16 and 20 lbs but they're tall, long cats and have a slim build. There was one recently found in a village near here. Sadly it had been knocked down by a car. Our newspaper printed a photo of it on the front page thinking it was some kind of wild cat. When the owner saw it she realised it was her cat

Ours are going to be indoor cats but we are going to train them to walk on a harness and lead as soon as they grow into the harness and lead (won't be long) so we can take them out under supervision.

They've also just discovered the curtains (drapes) and think nothing of running up our legs too and oh! they've got sharp little claws.

Our extended family now consists of 12 cats, 15 snakes and 1 dog

Very cute. They look like they can't wait to hop down and get into some
mischief

Anyone in the Bay Area want a kitten?

Some kids left a kitten in a basket on my dog walkers porch.

Ah, the joys of being known as an animal lover

She has 5 cats, 3 outdoor kitties and two indoors and says she just can't take another. But she'll keep this one till it's old enough and get it fixed.

She's pretty sure it is a female, dark grey with a white spot on its chest and some white on its stomach. It has greyish green eyes. Very playful and really likes her other cats. A real cutie
