Re: OT Odd situation with the cat and

[Guest guest]

Bengals act more like dogs than cats and I am betting she thinks he is her baby.

She probably also smells a bit of milk and is acting like a momma would.

Hopefully they will grow up and be best buds. Many believe there is a special

relationship between our kids and animals - you could be seeing that even at the

tender age of 7 months. Who knows.

My bengals run when they see coming. Well, one runs anytime any of us

comes near unless we have ham for her. is more bonded with our 9 year

old - 130 pound Golden Retriever and is starting to bond with our 4 month old,

almost 6 pound shih tzu.

Take lots of pictures.....today's would have been priceless

OT Odd situation with the cat and

ds- 7 months - -

lying on the living room floor - babbling away - on his tummy

our cat " Farrah " (female bengal- very very domesticated) comes over

and lies on top of him , sniffing his head,

licking his head, nibbling the back of his neck (not hard at all)

petting him, but physically sitting on him - he quiets down when she's

there - - almost like he really likes it.

this is the first I've EVER seen this happen and I " m very perplexed.

She doesn't put a single claw out - or we'd know it with him - - he's

not in any pain or we'd know it for certain.

we haven't worried about the cat before - she sleeps at his feet all

the time at nap time......

I can't tell if she thinks this is 'her' baby and preening him and

trying to quiet him , if she's thinking he's a playtoy, or if she's

tenderizing him for her next snack.

Does anyone have any ideas on this one????

thanks !
