Hi everyone, I know it's been a while when i last posted...what to say, life is busy. In February i brought home my beautiful boy Bandit a brown marbled Bengal, hi is going to be 6 months old on June 3. He's been amazing, i love him to pieces. Since i work for myself, i am on my own schedule...i am there for my boy a lot. He learned so many tricks, he is actually knows how to ask for things he really wants...very smart boy. He is on raw diet, i bring him outside a lot. Very soon our daddy is building a nice safe cat fence, with a beautiful water fountain and lots of plants to hide in, and some trees to climb on...than my babies are going to be able to go in and out safely without harness. As i was falling in love with my baby boy, i decided to have a sibling for him. I didn't want to wait too long, i thought it will be easier to introduce two babies then an adult and a baby. Maybe i was wrong, who knows...will see... So, just a week ago we brought home little Foxy Lady a baby girl who is 12 weeks old brown rosetted bengal. The sweetest little baby girl...so tiny (just 2,lb) compared to Bandit who is exceptionally big for his age (8,5lb). Foxy my little Tinkerbell was in my bedroom for 6 days now. I would put her in the bathroom and let Bandit to sniff around every day. The 4th and 5th day i put Foxy in the carrier and let Bandit sniff...and growl and hiss much less on the 5th day. The 6th day i decided to let Foxy meet Bandit freely in the room with our supervision...wow, she is fearless, wants to approach him, play with him...but Bandit, o my...he is trying to hit her with his paws...and wants to chase her...in a moment i thought he is going to bit her. Than i decided to let him on the deck, his favorite place...and just closed the screen door...than let Foxy and him touch noses and play closely without Bandit being able to hurt her. They were fine, played, touched, sniffed...my husband was inside with Foxy, i was outside with Bandit. Since Bandit was calm, did not seem excited anymore, we decided to let him in to play with his sis....as soon we did it, he turned into a hunter, just wanted to chase Foxy and show with his paws who is the boss, occasional hissing and growling, scary lol... I am really scared for Foxy...does anyone has any suggestion how and what to do next, because no matter what i am not giving up on any of my babies, and no matter how long it is going to take. Just to mention both cats are spayed/neutered before i got them from the breeder. Experienced multiple Bengal cat owners help please to overcome this problem somehow.
