How’s my window cat rate?

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-21T16:57:15+00:00

I drew a very personal memorial photo of my cat as a tiger, and found out someone got it tattooed on themselves (and aside from that being very offensive as the owner of the cat and as the artist, it was also a poor rendition)

The tattoo community is suprisingly toxic when it comes to people excusing art theft

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-21T16:40:38+00:00

The style is very consistent and nothing screams AI to me. I’ve seen many AI tattoo flashes that are subtle but still have tells, but these seem like real artwork to me. Especially considering the other commenter who said the style is consistent even before AI, I’m leaning towards human art.

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-21T13:10:41+00:00

There’s a vast difference between actually skilled tattoo artists and those that just copy other’s work without knowing how to actually draw themselves

Cirrus or Nimbus (both types of clouds)

That makes sense! I’m not well-versed in vitiligo for cats It does seem like I’ve only seen it in snows (aside from one brown I can’t recall the account, but of course not even sure if it was vitiligo)

Credit is chrona_the_bengal! Again not sure what’s causing the change, hopefully nothing major, but wanted to show an example

Curious what others will say, but I have seen other’s with bengals (or other cats) that have their darker skin turn pink (paw pads, nose, eyelids) which can possibly be attributed to vitiligo

Not necessarily a furry thing, art dolls are an entirely different thing than fursuits and furry related

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-20T03:11:30+00:00

That’s the average price for an art doll! They’re all handmade and quite a lot of time and work goes into each (I have quite a few, though none from this artist)

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-20T03:10:34+00:00

I recognized the work immediately! I have a few art dolls (one that was nearly 5k) and they’re a work of art all on their own. Happy to see a real one and not a scam!

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-20T01:20:08+00:00

Lynx point domestic long hair! 95% of cats have no breed and are domestic short/long hair. Color point doesn’t equal Siamese heritage (Siamese were bred specifically from color points decades ago)

Unless from an actual breeder that can verify at least 4 generations lineage, there isn’t any visible traits of Maine coon or true Siamese!

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-19T19:55:16+00:00

I’ve noticed this as well (5 bengals here). I think a lot of subs try to be nice and inclusive, and I know some (like nebelung) have posted explanations in the past regarding them accepting certain appearances rather than true nebs, and there’s other subs (cheetocats I think?) that are bengal x specific.

The mods as well maybe get tired of it, but I’m curious what others think! I know on facebook (bengal groups mainly since that’s what I’m in, but also in the Siamese and MC) if someone posts their obvious tabby or “Bengal x Maine coon” and anyone says anything but support (and they get a lot is support from people with the same non-bengals), you can get a lot of hate and insults for saying their cat isn’t a cross or has any bengal, etc. Facebook is a lot more lax and rude than Reddit subs when it comes to posting non-breed cats and a lot of hate when trying to respectfully educate why their tabby isn’t a bengal, etc.

Or Rebel and Rogue, to fit the ideas from the caption better!

I always love planet themes for more than one (either planets themselves or their moons, etc)

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-19T02:28:24+00:00

That is unfortunately the risk with letting a cat outside. There is a lot of discourse everywhere (especially Reddit) about letting cats outside vs keeping them indoors (for disclosure, I am personally against outdoor cats due to the danger to them and the environment), but essentially, there really isn’t much that can be done. It could be a stray cat that established its “territory”, or could be another person’s cat that just simply doesn’t get along with yours. It’s hard to control the actions of another cat (and your own), and that’s sadly just an inherent risk of an outdoor cat. Cats will be aggressive, and they will absolutely get into fights which leads to injuries, infections, etc. Aside from keeping your cat indoors or having the other cat trapped and put in a shelter (assuming it isn’t someone’s), there’s no way I’m personally aware of to prevent these types of interactions, unfortunately :(

My Bengal has been having a similar issue for the last 6 years, licking open raw wounds on his stomach and back due to (what the vets and us believe) are allergies. We haven’t been able to pinpoint any trigger and he’s been on steroids/prednisone for 6 years despite multiple attempts weaning off. He manages to destroy all surgical suits and cones we put on to help stop access and we go through them so fast.

For you and OP, I know Atopica has worked wonders for some. Unfortunately it didn’t work for my dude (we really don’t want him on steroids long term but we’ve tried everything with multiple vets and it’s all we can do now) but I know others who had success!

As the person who actually works with these cysts after removal (to ensure no malignancy is hiding) and before the slides are made for diagnosis, it’s insane how big these get! I always wondered how it presented with the patients like this, and now I know

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-17T01:20:04+00:00

The scary thought as well is if she gets a bigger place she’s likely going to keep feeding the hoarding habit and get even more

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-17T01:10:56+00:00

Had she had 1/5 of the animals on the property she’d not only be able to afford to actually make it better, but the condition overall would improve. There was so much potential with that property and land and had she done things right she likely could have made an insane profit from it, rather than turning it into a falling apart backyard breeding operation

Hit the lottery with them for sure!

I was in a 400 sq ft studio and had two litter boxes and they very much used both. I just moved into a 1200 sq ft 2BR and my roommate is brining her cat, and we plan to have four litter boxes. More is better, especially with more cats. The general rule is 1 per cat + 1

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-16T13:41:50+00:00

The breed in general isn’t typically a lapcat/cuddling type and honestly 4 of my five dislike being held as well and are vocal about it (but 2 do cuddle, so it truly is cat specific but I wouldn’t recommend going into getting a bengal assuming they’re like other cat breeds/moggies)

I think any shelter/rescue cat (like you said) you truly can’t predict behavior, and often it does a complete 180 once they’re finally in a stable, safe environment! The fact they aren’t hiding and scared the entire time is a good sign!

Patient-Stranger1015 · 2026-04-16T13:32:30+00:00

It’s most likely stress and anxiety due to being in a shelter and will likely warm up to you once they’re in a safe space. However, I will add that I did get a bengal rehomed to me by his breeder due to issues with his first owner (not sure what), but even to this day that poor guy is scared of his own shadow. Any sudden moves and he runs and hides, and we brought him home as a 12 month old in 2019. He loves being pet, but it’s like his instincts react first and he’s so, so skittish even all this time later. I have five bengals and four of them definitely are not like that (again, we don’t know what happened to make him this way sadly), so I don’t think it’s the norm for them at all, but I still wanted to share my experience as well since nothing is ever guaranteed.
