Kittens Born Today
Kittens are born today. We are delighted to see that our beautiful queen has given birth to 8 beautiful kittens today. There are 6 gorgeous brown kittens and 2 white kittens. All have beautiful Rosetta spots and patterning, and look so healthy. Due to how many mom has to nurse I will be at the ready to hand feed any little ones that are struggling to latch on/feed.

Kittens will be reliant on mom for several weeks for feeding and cleaning. Both mom and dad are very protective and nurturing over their young. Mom seems to be managing successfully feeding all her young herself. Ill be keeping a close eye on each of them over the days ahead.

We are unable to get too close or handle the kittens at this stage. We are still unable to determine the gender of the kittens as Kittens remain reliant on mom. All are feeding very well. They all look very healthy - its beautiful to see mom and dad cleaning and nursing their young together.

Kittens look incredibly healthy. They are very confident now attemping to walk a few steps and play with one another. They are still being nursed by mom so am unable to determine their gender. They are already opening their eyes now.

The kittens are even more playful now.They are showing so much more character. They are enjoying their scracth post and playing with each other. Ive been able to handle and sex the kittens and they are all Female, but one, this time round.

Kittens are still reliant on mom for feeding. They are already starting to smell at moms dry Purina food. Also I have put a litter tray out for the little ones and they are starting to play in the litter too. This is a good sign as they are getting used to it.

These Kittens are incredibly forward, and although they occassionally latch onto mom for feeds they are now starting to eat at the dry food. I have also included sandwich chicken in with their dry food and they absolutely love it. It wont be long now till they are eating completely independantly of mom. Another huge development- a few of the little ones are already using the litter tray. Generally kittens will follow each other so it wont be long before all of them are feeding and using the tray together. I am so pleased. This is a huge leap forward for the whole litter.
HISTORY OF THE BENGAL CAT
The Bengal is a relatively new breed of cat which was first bred in the U.S.A and was originally created by crossing an Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat.
The domestic Bengal derives its name from the Latin name of its wild ancestor, Felis Bengalensis (Asian Leopard Cat). Whilst the domestic Bengal is similar in appearance to the Asian Leopard cat, and its genetic makeup contains a contribution from that wild cat species, its temperament however is purely domestic.
The goal in developing the domestic Bengal cat breed was to preserve a strong physical resemblance to its beautiful wild ancestor, at the same time the new domestic breed was designed to be a pleasant and trustworthy family companion. Therefore, the conformation of the Bengal is definitely reminiscent of its ancestors. The Bengal is a large, sleek and very muscular cat with its hind-quarters slightly higher than its shoulders with a thick tail that is carried low.
The Bengal should be alert and affectionate and its wild appearance is enhanced by its distinctive spotted or marbled coat. The different coat patterns are either leopard spotted or marbled, on a background colour of brown, or sometimes white. There is no other breed of cat which displays such a rich smooth feel of satin or silk fur texture. Even the voice of the Bengal is different from that of other domestic cats. They can coo and chirp!
To sum up, the Bengal is self-assured, affectionate and playful, with the stunning looks of its wild ancestor.
