They love the windowsill

Oh my stars, they are such cute little stinkers!!!!!!!! I must remember.. next house must have windowsills for the babies.. lol

They do enjoy the windowsills! My husband built our house and he actually made them extra deep so our last kitty could enjoy them! We are crazy cat people...

Ooh Mr Gailey is going to be so mad at me for this, but someone give me a ball park figure as to what these little beauties go for?

Any links so I can find out more about them would be good too.

OMG... BEG, those markings are STUNNING!! They look like show cats! How long do you have to wait to take the kittens home?

I hope my kittens look like them! The markings are spectacular on those kittens.

They''re only four days old now, so it''ll probably be mid-October before I can have them? Which works out, since I won''t be home from traveling until the end of September. I''m going to prob going crazy buying them toys and cat trees and stuff in the two weeks between getting back home and getting the kittens!

They are absolutely gorgeous! I bet you can''t wait to have them! My husband and I also went crazy buying stuff for ours before they came home. They have way more beds than any kitties would ever need. They really love furry mice too!

Hehe I already have a Petco wishlist. And a Petsmart wishlist. And I''m sure I''ll find other places.... I''m definitely buying the little babies a cat tree, and definitely some furry mice, and a laser pointer, and one of those wand thingies, and probably a stuffed animal....etc.

Hehehe. Ok, so mine are going for $900 and $700 (discount on the second). My breeder is actually downsizing her cattery, so a lot of her kittens are going as pets rather than show prospects, which is great for me. She's priced these kittens at 4 days - and she'll honor the price even if they end up turning out really nice and show quality. Her cattery is Hunters Ridge. She's in FL.

The breeder in PA I was going to go with, until it turned out the brown litter was too small for me to be able to choose from (they'd be taken before I got to select) is Bengaland. Her brown rosetted are priced between 800-1200 or so. Her snows are more expensive - if you look at the top litter of snows, Molly was priced around 1100.

The two kittens (the brother and sister) I posted before the pics of the 4 day olds are from Legacie Bengals, in the S. Illinois area. They're really really well known - their cats are in a LOT of top pedigrees. Those kittens were priced at 1500 each, and the others on the website (the marble brother, and the charcoal female and silver male) are 1200 each. Normally marbles are priced lower (around 600 and up) than rosetted.

I was referred to Bengaland by Mystre Bengals in Texas. They price their kittens around 1250, but he's a very established and reputable breeder (well all of these are).

And I was referred to Mystre by Dazzledots in Canada - and that breeder was recommended by the Bengal equivalent of PS. So there's a good range of prices.

I will definitely be posting pics! Actually, my breeder told me that she takes pics of the kittens every week, so I will have goodies each week for you guys (and serious pic overload!)

Gee thanks so much BEG. I''m especially grateful for the Canadian information.

Mr Gailey wish you to burn in hell, along with Leon

Watch this space .......

We''ve been cat-less for far too long now.

That cat.... those rosettes (if thats what they are called.. i''m horrible at proper terminology) are just gorgeous

 

[Monnyjay]

They are adorable, I love Bengals. I have had 4 siamese cats over the last 20 years, seal/lilac and chocky points. I got my Lilac (Tamara) from a breeder when she was 16 weeks old. The breeder wouldn''t let them go any sooner. She lived a long and happy life just on 16 years. At the moment I have a black oriental named Louis and a russian blue cross named Lily. I could never see myself without a moggy they are just such good company.

Love to see some pics when you get your little guy

Hehe, sorry Mr. Gailey! But then again, Mr. Gailey will have some COOL looking cats

Gailey, are you in Canada? If so, then the Canadian breeders, or any non-US breeders might be best. Mara at Dazzledots told me that US is the only country that requires a US Wildlife and Game or whatever license to import OR export Bengals.....

Check out the recommended breeders on Dazzledots' website:

Kanpur (also really well known)

Brilliant Bengals

GloBengal


ETA: Kanpur has a bunch of kittens available! They are precious.....!

Of course. And I''d love to see pics of your cats! Wow, 16 weeks?? But that is definitely better than the breeder letting them go too early....! I''d love to see pics of Lilac, and Louis and Lily. (do you give all your cats L names?)

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

So I found out where my kittens'' older siblings ended up. The one whose pics are on this page is actually going to be a breeding queen at Dazzledots - her name is Vanilla Accents Dazzledots. I also found another kitten from that same first litter, who is a breeding queen at Kanpur, another super well-known cattery - see Lemon Chiffon Kanpur. If my boys look like them, I will be ecstatic!

And a pic
