    He displays all of them!!! :hate-shocked:

    He still lives in his home (some of the time) and has a catflap for access. He also knows that he's not allowed in our house, but that doesn't stop him from working hard at getting in. We have to be on constant watch when coming in and going out and it doesn't always work. We were both out the other week and he must have crept in behind Mrs Shiney as she was locking up. We found out later that he had set our burglar alarm off, a keyholder was called and the police came in and found him. That ended up with an irate keyholder, a bill from our alarm people and both of us embarrassed. :redface:

    Another time we found him in the summerhouse and he had snuggled under a cover. He wasn't the least bit bothered when he was told off - and he had to be carried out. :noidea: :heehee:

      Oops - forgot to mention - They have no qualms about "invading" other people's homes (including sheds and greenhouses). If you are outside of a 2 mile perimiter, you should be ok. There's no such thing as a "safe place" in your home. And unless you can lock all cupboards, which they otherwise easily learn to open, they will appear in places you never even knew you had! The final way to resolve this - ever considered moving (which would be drastic I guess)?

      "Snuggled under a cover..." But of course!

        We've noticed that. He has, on occasion, crept into the kitchen and then opened the door into the house :rolleyespink:

        My sister had a Siamese cat that could open all the doors in the house, including the fridge! She had to put a lock on the fridge. :hate-shocked:

          I was stupid enough to think that Bengals would be similar to Siamese, and in some ways they are. I think I mentioned that earlier. But regarding food - if I was cooking bacon in a frying pan, and turned my back on it for just a few moments, our siamese would leap up and hook it out of the hot pan!

          Not to be outdone (and in keeping with killing rabbits), we left a whole chicken (raw) on the cooker to defrost. Molly and Sago collaborated - under our dining table they were happily sharing a half-defrosted chicken. In an attempt to retrieve it, we failed miserably when Sago, at lightning speed, dragged it up the stairs by a leg, followed like a bullet by Molly, probably hoping he would let it go. A half-chewed soggy chicken on your duvet cover is not a pretty sight :P

            Talking "pretty sights" - As relatively new at photography (and relatively new owners of our 2 bengals), we have been "snap-happy" with our camera constantly to hand. One photo we took from outdoors was of Molly perched on the top of her indoor "Cat climber" staring out of the patio window. She does this when Sago is out in the morning whereby she looks out for his return.

            The sun's reflection on the patio window produced an amazing photograph which is not staged or photo-shopped. So now she thinks she thinks she is the "God of Bengals", staring down on us mere mortals! hahaha

            In the beginning, "God" said, "Let there be chicken..."

              CHRISTMAS PETS:

              Anyone taken photos of their pets, or funny stories relating to their pets at christmas (classic of course is pets destroying the tree!) ?

              Molly thinking, "Hmmm call that a tree? More like an overgrown twig if you ask me! How am I supposed to climb that?!..."

                      She's 16 months old, we only got her because we lost Angus one of our Westies in September to cancer he was on 8 when he died, don't know a great deal about her history but she's very friendly with our other Westie Tigger

                        Sorry to read about Angus; such a loss!

                        At 16mths, she's just a teenager :heehee: You are going to have great fun with her and she is going to adore her forever home. Good to know that a friendship is blooming with Tigger but he'll soon get fed up with her when she starts stealing his food :heehee:

                        She has such intelligent eyes!

                                The problem with taking pics using my phone is I don't notice this

                                Or this (shaking just as I take pic and ending up looking like Gnasher from the Beano)
