Hello everyone! I am new to this forum AND new to bengals. I have read a LOT on them, researched and finally decided this breed for us. I have two young daughters, who are very excited about getting a kitten, and my husband is just as excited. We are adopting a male golden rosetted bengal who will be 12 weeks old, neutered and microchipped when we get him.

My concern is traveling to get him. The breeder is meeting us halfway but it is still a four to five hour drive one way to get the little cutie pie. What will the drive home be like I am wondering? I don't really want to take him out of the carrier (it is safer) but I don't want him to think he is abandoned either. Any suggestions? Also any suggestions on the first night at home to make it easier on all of us? (We also have two loving dogs who are used to cats.)

I will post pics of our bengal baby soon. Thanks !

Oh great ideas! I would have never thought of bringing blankets from his mommy with us. Our two daughters, 4 and almost 3, will be going with us. There is no way they would NOT go, meaning they are so excited! I have already been talking to them about being quiet in the car, and they WILL NOT be able to hold him in the car, but mommy may take him out if he cries a lot Very Happy They understand and have been around kitties before and know they are a lot different than our two dogs. Thanks for the tips. We are SO excited. I just can't wait. Time is crawling by......
