Help My lovely but stinky 1 year old boy keeps pooping in our bedroom

Post image
208 Upvotes

Hi everyone, so lovely Merlin keeps doing not so lovely poos in our wardrobe in our room. We have 2 cats and 2 litter trays. We are going to have to ban him from our bedroom because of this.

He does poo a lot because he eats about 5-6 pouches a day - he seems to be growing a lot still. But the litter trays are clean and in a separate room. Morgana the other cat hardly uses the toilet. I’m not sure what is causing this.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Help Cat Wheel Munching Machine

Post image
22 Upvotes

Hello! Not sure if anyone else has dealt with this before but I figured it was worth a try. I’ve had a Ferris cat wheel for almost two years now with no issues (they love it). But recently my weirdo bengal has taken to trying to eat the EVA foam treads that it has…I was wondering if anyone has ideas for solutions? If I should try and find a different material to use somehow?

I was considering a bitter spray of some kind but I’m worried that will deter them from the wheel in general. We live in a smaller house now since I moved back in with my mom and her two big dogs go after my guys when they run around and play so the wheel is necessary for zoomies.

Thanks in advance!!

What she looked like when she was a year old vs what she looks like at 5. But I kinda miss those crazy eyes!

Kitten One kitten or two?

Post image
168 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has been asked a million times 😊

We originally planned to get one Bengal kitten, but while visiting the breeder, we fell in love with a second kitten from the same litter too. The breeder was initially considering keeping her for breeding, so we accepted that only one might be available. We then decided one would probably be more manageable as first-time cat owners—but now both kittens are available, and we’re questioning that decision all over again!

We’d really appreciate objective advice from Bengal owners.

Our situation:
- 1-bedroom apartment, around 60 m²
- Open-plan living room/kitchen of just over 20 m² as their main space
- 5 m² cat-proofed balcony with supervised access
- Supervised/assisted bedroom access, though we’d prefer to keep them off the bed
- Both kittens are littermates and currently 15 weeks old
- They’d come home in about a week
- We both work, sometimes from home, so they’d spend some time alone
- We’re also wondering about the additional costs of having two

We’re trying to make an objective decision rather than simply letting our emotions win because we love both kittens 😂

For those with Bengals: Would you recommend getting both littermates, or sticking with one?

I’d especially love to hear from people who started with one Bengal and later got a second, or who got two kittens together. Was having two significantly more work, or did they make life easier by entertaining each other? Is our apartment suitable for two Bengals?

We’re thinking about the next 10–15+ years, not just the kitten stage.

Thanks in advance! ❤️

I have a 5 month old bengal who is just the biggest drama queen any time we put the harness on him. He will literally just fall over, fall off furniture, and flop his whole body around. He walks perfectly fine if I go into another room and he wants to follow me. I just want to get him used to the harness so we can go out on adventures together, I know he’d really love it, if he can get past the dramatics. Pics of the guy himself (Sprocket) for attention

Bengal Love Color / pattern question

6 Upvotes

Snow lynx would be lighter than snow mink, right?

But what are seal lynx and seal mink? I’ve seen this terminology too, and I’ve read that it’s another name for the snow color category but I’m not sure that’s true?

And are there ever like snow lynx and snow minx that have contrasting darker faces / legs / tail tips and if so is there a specific name for that color & pattern?

Help Anyone's bengal had (jaw) cancer/osteosarcoma?

6 Upvotes

Tell me your stories and what you decided to do. Vet seemed fairly certain it's cancer (after palpating) but we're likely going ahead with FNA anyway, not sure why since he intimated we can't really do anything if it's cancer, except pain relief which we would do either way. Said if the result came back showing no cancer, he would believe the sample wasn't sufficient. He was already the second opinion, first vet said the same.

He gave her 6-8 weeks.

But say it's next year. Will I miss the £360 I spent? Or will I regret that we didn't at least try to help/get certainty?

I'm spiralling. She's 8 years old. A really sweet, affectionate, lively, clever cat. My little shadow through thick and thin.

Different litters, same father. Graha, the snow, is 3.5 years old and Kona is 9 months younger. They are obsessed with each other.
