Every week, we look for interesting stories from cats and their owners. This time, we spoke to Carly from Victoria, Australia. She took in two Bengal cats, Lynx and Loki, as birthday presents for the children.
Bengals are real home tigers
Carly has always had cats, and for one of her sons'
birthday, they decided to give a great gift: a cat! And not just any cat, they
added a Bengal cat with beautiful markings in its fur to their family. Of
course the birthday boy was allowed to come up with his name, he was called
Lynx and he owes that to his beautiful coat.
Carly already knew then that Lynx could not stay alone.
That's why they took another Bengal for their other son's birthday. And he was
named Loki, because her son loves Marvel so much! A Bengal gets along well with
other pets, but it should not like peace and quiet. That's why Carly chose a
second Bengal, they immediately got along well because they are both playful,
energetic and a bit chaotic.
Lynx and Loki are kept well occupied by the family, Carly's
boys love to play with them. Bengals like to be entertained with target
training and Loki, for example, can entertain himself for hours playing fetch.
"The playing rope of their scratching post is always handled
roughly," says Carly. Once finished, Lynx and Loki often lie together
upstairs in the lounge bed.
Who knew cats could love water so much?
Water cats
"Loki and Lynx are obsessed with water, they even love
to shower with the kids. Who knew that cats love water so much?" says
Carly. Well, unlike other cats who seem to think that the world will end when
they get wet, Bengals are usually fond of water. They seem to have an extreme
fascination with it.
In addition to social, Bengals are also very smart. The fact
that they are also very curious doesn't make it any easier. They always want to
know what's behind a closed door and if they really want to, they often manage
to get them open.
"Lynx can even turn on taps, which is not ideal if you
have tank water." The cats don't really care what kind of water it is,
they will do anything to make it a fun game.
Join the family!
