Hi Guys,

I just wrote a really long and eloquent post, and Tilly decided that closing the window was a brilliant idea, deleting everything... I'll forgive her as she learnt "High Five" tonight...

Anyway, long story short, I am thinking about possibly maybe getting a second furbaby next year to keep Tilly company if the OH goes back to work and although Tilly is a lovely, healthy (ish), socialized girl, this time I want to do my research and hopefully get a boy (would a male be better than a second female??) who comes from a wonderful breeder and has the striking markings I love. So, basically I am looking for recommended breeders in the Hampshire, UK area, as although I am more than willing to travel to find a baby, I am without a car ATM and wouldn't want to inflict long train journeys on a kitten/. As I said before, this is just me musing and researching, I am not rushing into it this time!

Oh, and just to get her back for deleting my original post, here is Tilly in a cone of shame (30 secs before it was destroyed), she was spayed on Wednesday and is non too impressed!! Sorry for crap quality, it was dark!

Thank you! Great places for me to start! Just got to work on the OH....

Abooksigun Bengals are in Southampton, they have some lovely Bengals & do full health testing including HCM screenings & pk-def.

Thanks guys! You're helping me build my case ready to present to my OH >_> once he sees these previous litters, he won't say no! Any thought on whether a neutered male would be a more suitable match to my current female? She is my everything and I wouldn't want to upset her when my aim is to get someone to keep her company!

personally, i'd go with a male. I say this as i have 2 females and it can get pretty narky, females seem to be the more territorial. So i'd go with a calm male.

Right! I now have an agenda and a plan of action (if they're not the same thing.)

Thank you! xx

good luck
