Dagger and Emma catching some zzz's

As often as I catch Zenith napping with the girls, I also catch brother and sister Dagger and Emma, napping together in cozy's close to one another

Zenith caught napping with Lightnin

This time, I caught Zenith in my bedroom, with Lightnin.

Zenith and Victoria cuddling again

As Zenith continues to grow - it is not unusual to see him cuddling with one of the others.. usually Victoria or Lightnin This is him with Victoria, in the kitchen

Emma after Hatter's Tail

There's always a game going on. This day, Emma decided Hatter's tail was a quite interesting toy, much to his dismay

Lightnin and Victoria - Sisters

I often see the sisters snuggling one another

Tiger's close-up

Tiger is really a beautiful old guy. Rescued from a rain culvert when only a few days old, he has his problems, but is very deserving of LOTS of love

Victoria at shower head

Yes, little Miss Victoria loved to climb, from the beginning, too!

Sasquatch and Hatter

Sasquatch also took a serious role in Hatter's early training - but as Hatter matured, they became good buddies.

Mr. Zenith KILLS his bear

Each of my Bengals who came to me as very young kittens selected a favorite small toy to carry around and KILL. A little black bear I got in Alaska in 2004 was Mr. Zenith's choice.

Mr. Zenith's GOOFY look

Sometimes Mr. Zenith falls asleep with a little of his tongue sticking out. I call it his "raspberries" look -- or better yet -- his "yep, I'm goofy" look.

Emma Bites my lanyard

Bengals can make ANYTHING a TOY... remember this... always :)

Casper, Victoria and Hatter

For anyone who questions whether Bengals get along well with other breeds of cats... here is another good example of the relationship my Bengals have with my rescues

Victoria, Emma and Dagger on red sofa

Occasionally wrestling matches break out over who gets to lay on the little red sofa

Sasquatch Bathes Emma

Even in the declining months of his life, Sasquatch ALWAYS loved the babies. Emma became his favorite, and I often saw them snuggled together, loving on one another

Chase on the Tree

Dagger, Emma and Mr. Zenith often have a merry game of CHASE up and down the cat tree.

Hatter's EXTREME close up

Hatter's favorite spot in the house is the top of the cat tree, in the living room, at the foot of the stairs.

Dagger and Casper share Wild Hearts Lap Quilt

A friend of mine made me a lovely "wild hearts" lap quilt, because of my love for my Bengals (well, my CATS, actually) and it came as no surprise that they love to lay on it, too :)

This is the lovely miss Bailey. She was raised as an only cat, and when my son moved back home, and brought her along, she wasn't too sure about all the other "furry" creatures in her new home. She has learned to love Casper, Emma and Lightnin. She plays well with Snowbelle, when she is allowed our for petting and exercise. The others, mainly the BOYS, she isn't too fond of. She particularly loves to terrorize our biggest boy, Hatter. They have a love-hate relationship. Lots of hissing and growling, but no real WARS...
