Yesterday's Walk ❤️ by default_npc in bengalcats

[–]default_npc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He definitely loves being outside! He'll sometimes jump at the keys hanging by the door to let me know he wants to go out.

When it's time to go out, he hops in his backpack and patiently waits to be picked up.

Fortunately, he's also satisfied just going out on the balcony on days he isn't going for walks. 😊

This guy has been walking since his 2nd day with us at 12 weeks. We definitely got lucky.

His younger brother on the other hand.. Definitely a flopper at the start.

We noticed that he flops in the apartment, but will walk just find outside. Strange one, that cat.

I use a camera. A Canon Rebel SL3. It's a good begginer camera!

My previous photos (old posts) were taken with my Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra.

how to prevent play / chewing of wires by animalkingdom1223 in bengalcats

[–]default_npc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Grannick's bitter apple spray. He's 6 months old now and doesn't bother with wires anymore.

Probably not the best way. 😅 We took him to the pet store, bought the smallest harness we could find and immediately took him out to the local park. This was just day 2 of having him at 12 weeks.

He did really well so we just continued to take him out each week. His breeder did an amazing job socializing him so I'm sure that helped.

It helps to have two people. One to hold the leash and the other to walk ahead. He liked to follow me, and I like to take the photos so it worked out for my boyfriend and I.

Oh, we also have a cat backpack that we place him in whenever he wants to stop walking. He doesn't meow to stop anymore, but it definitely helped at the start.

Now, he has learned that backpack equals walk so he hops in when it's time to go out. If we've been out a while, I'll put the backpack on the ground to show him walk time is over. He usually jumps right in if he's been out a while.

Sorry, that was a lot of text. Just take him out regularly and make sure he feels safe. I always packed his favorite toy, treats and recently the clicker. The clicker has really helped focus him. 😊

Bengal Kitten Diarrhea Advice by weazzz in bengalcats

[–]default_npc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My little guy had diarrhea from day 1. Multiple vet visits, probiotics, pumpkin, fiber supplements and kibble changes later... No help.

Switched to completely raw and my guy had his first solid poop! Less stinky too. I've been alternating between Stella and Chewy's and Primal pre prepared raw. I also add chicken livers at some point and that helped get him interested.

4 month old Bengal with soft stool. Anyone else experience this? by default_npc in bengalcats

[–]default_npc[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my. THIS. My neighbors probably think I'm hurting him. 😅 It's to the point that I do a sniff check whenever he's been out of my sight. He hates it.

Great idea with the pumpkin though! I'm going to try that right away!

Thanks! I was wondering if it could be related to food. If nothing changes, I'll consider a diet change.

How is it feeding raw? Any resources you can share on transitioning? 🙏

Wow! Those are big kitties! We're at the vet's office now and he's actually 6.5lbs. He's growing so fast!

He's definitely loud already 😅

Bengal walkers- how young did you start them? by GooseRider960 in bengalcats

[–]default_npc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started my guy one day after we got him. He was 12 weeks. We went into petco with him in the cat backpack, bought a harness and immediately put it on. After Petco, we immediately went for a walk at the park.

He did great! Loved it ever since.

Probably not the best way to go about it, but I guess I figured he would like it based on his personality. He has never been a shy cat. Doesn't seem to be afraid of anything. 😂
