They look good.

We have a marbled and a rossetted Bengal, they're now 14 months but not very big!

We too had the option to buy top end cats at over £500 each, but in the end we opted for some 6 month old kittens that were a more reasonable £350 each. Just hoping they get a bit bigger!

We feed ours chicken, costs bugger all, £4 a week or something. We use Yeaterdays News litter which is about £15 a month, and we use Royal Canin biscuits at about £15 a month too.

Great cats and even though mine are indoor only at the minute they show bags of personality and are very much more like dogs than cats!

Some pics I just took of our marbled boy

Beautiful cats, look very happy!

We got two little Bengal brothers last Tuesday, they really are fantastic animals and very dog like. Intelligent little buggers too smile

Another Bengal lover here.

We have a snow spotted boy,10 months old now,good bloodline(dad is a grand champion etc)Paid £500 for him.

He's the most loving cat I've ever known,loves his cuddles however he's allowed outside now and is making a habit of bringing 'presents' back for us through his catflat including a half eaten mouse,giant caterpillar,large and small frogs,large dead pigeon covered in blood etc.Hope he grows out of this phase!

At what age did you allow them to roam outside?

At the minute we have them on leashes

He was neutered at 6 months old and we started letting him out about a month after that.

How do you feel about cars, thieves and the like???

The missus is loathe to risk it. And having bonded with them, if anything did happen, the guilt would be pretty severe.

I know of a few cases near me where cats were given anti-freeze

You the one that paid over half a million quid to buy somewhere in Brum and yet people kill cats and do drug deals outside your house?

AREA FAIL.

I live in a nice area,quiet trafficwise and opposite my house is a large green with 2 large ponds.On the ponds are many swans/geese/ducks and overall the people who drive around the green do so slowly because they are aware that the wildfowl cross the road,and even sit in the road sometimes.Yes there is a small risk he may be taken,poisoned,run over but both myself and my partner are of the opinion that he should be able to roam free and its a risk worth taking.No offence to those who have house cats,for some people they have no option but to have their cats live that way,but our cats have always roamed free(last one died of old age-aged 17).He's neutered and microchipped and he is registered with us retaining his papers so doesnt have much monetary value to a thief.

Thanks. Took them out on the leash again today, they seem to want to roam a lot.

will let them out on the weekend....
