| Libbie, She is the most amazing little cat, I love her so much (Steve too) :) When I picked her up from the vet after her operation, The Dr. left a big note in capital letters, in the comments section: SOPHIA IS BEAUTIFUL!!! The vet tech who brought her out to me said she knew of the breed but had not seen one. She was taken by the spots, especially she said when she saw her belly! Nothing like a little leopard! Thank you again for the greatest cat. Take Care.... Best, Janet

Libbie, i CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH WE ENJOYED OUR VISIT WITH YOU LAST SUNDAY. ITS ALL I TALK ABOUT. MY DAUGHTERS SAID I SHOULD START DOING PUBLIC RELATIONS FOR YOU! I STILL HAVE SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK. YOUR CATS ARE THE FINEST OUT THERE. THERE IS NO DOUBT YOU ARE THE TOP IN YOUR FIELD. ITS NOT ONLY THAT. I KNOW THAT YOU LOVE EACH AND EVERYONE OF THEM AND THEY ARE LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A GREAT CAREGIVER. THOUGH WE HAVE ALWAYS HAD A NON-PEDIGREE ANIMAL IN OUR HOUSEHOLD, BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT ALL ANIMALS AND HUMANS FOR THAT MATTER NEED A GOOD HOME NO MATTER WHAT THE UPBRINGING, OR BACKGROUND. WE HAVE MADE THE DECISION IN THIS CASE TO BUY FROM A QUALIFIED BREEDER. THEIR ARE SO MANY BREEDERS WHO DO NOT CARE THE WAY YOU DO AND I KNOW YOU WILL BE THERE FOR US IF WE NEED HELP.( WHICH I AM SURE WE WILL YOU ARE THE EXPERT.) THEY ARE MORE EXPENSIVE THEN OTHER BREEDERS BUT WHEN YOU CONSIDER EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO FOR THEM I FEEL WE ARE GETTING THE BEST BENGAL . I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THEM ALL.. ESPECIALLY LASER LIGHT. LIBBIE YOU KNOW THAT HE STOLE MY HEART. I ONLY WISH I COULD OF HAVE HIM. BUT I AM SURE YOU ARE SENDING HIM TO A FINE HOME. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT YOUR WEBSITE ON KITTENS AND GET A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT WHO IS MOTHER AND FATHER SISTER BROTHER ETC. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU KEEP THEM ALL STRAIGHT. COULD YOU PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT AKERRS AH. NOW SHE WAS BREED TO LASER LIGHT RIGHT? IF SO WHEN WILL HER KITTENS BE DUE AND DID MARLEY HAVE KITTENS YET? ALSO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT MILLWOOD HIGH JEANKS OF AKERRS. NOW SHE WAS BREED TO LASER LIGHT? WHAT ABOUT AKERRS KAYA? I QUESS BY NOW YOU KNOW I WANT A KITTEN FROM LASER LIGHT. HA. HA. I REALLY LIKE THAT BROWN TO REDISH COLOR AND THE MARKING ARE BEAUTIFUL.. AND I COURSE I WANT A MALE .... WE LOVE THOSE CHEEKS......SO WHAT HAPPENS IF I TELL YOU KNOW TO SAVE ME A MALE FROM ANY OF THOSE CHOICES. I NEED TO KNOW APPROX. HOW MUCH ONE WILL COST. DO YOU NEED A DEPOSIT? PLEASE LET US KNOW Robyn

| Bengals love water! As you can see, it is sometimes fun to get two to grow up together... |  |
The kittens are doing great.
Thanks, Wayne

| Libbie,
Thank you for the wonderful visit we had with you on Sunday. I was so impressed with your cattery. All of your Bengals are beautiful and their personalities are better than most people I know!!!!! It was so enjoyable to finally meet and speak with someone who loves the Bengals for who they are and not how much money they can make off of them. Jim

Libbie,
I brought my folder to work with me this morning and showed all of my co-workers my new baby. I did not get one negative response. We also watched the video. I thought it was so cute. I'm glad you took the footage of Rhiannon when she was a baby. I also love her baby pictures. I will have to get a photo album to put them in. Thank you again for taking her and getting her spayed for me. I believe your vet would be the best one for the job. Dee |
Libbie,
Our kitties are doing very well and hopefully enjoying their new home of which they've taken command. They have explored under, behind and on top everything, Zoe is especially a good climber and has been where no cat has gone before, in heights that is! She has also gained weight and shows excellent firmness and muscle tone. Xenia is still more outgoing and friendlier than Zoe. It's just like having two kids with different personalities. Shana was home for spring break a few weeks ago and both kittens took an immediate shine to her, sleeping on her bed and curling up on her lap. Lynn will be sending you some pictures as she has taken hundreds and shares them with everyone. Best Regards, Frank

| Hello Libbie,
I just wanted to let you know how well Sasha is doing! She is a fabulous kitty! As I sit here typing this, she is snoozing away in my lap. I am so happy with her! She is just so loving and amusing. Well I just wanted to say hi and let you know that she is well. Thank you for raising such a wonderful kitty! Sherry

This couple bought a
Bengal from another breeder and had a lot of trouble with the
socialization… a late night call and a few suggestions prompted this
letter.
Libbie, I just wanted to Thank You for taking our call last night. The bengal's temperament has improved he actually sat in my lap and purred. I realize we are not out of the woods yet, but if I can give this little guy a better life, then it will be worth it. I can not tell you how much we appreciate your guidance and help. I have learned my lesson. If you think we would make good parents Dave and I would like to get the female seal lynx, if she is still available. Please let me know what we need to do to hold her. Thank you again, I can not emphasize how much you helped us. You are an angel!

| Libbie,
Tempest is getting so big and fluffy, he's like a living teddy bear! But underneath all that soft fluff is a trim fighting machine that can jump about 4 feet vertical from a sitting position and race around after his brother without missing a beat. Haya-Ji is still, as you described, fur covered steel, although he relaxes every now and then. His discriminating ear causes him to complain -- probably with good reason <groan> -- whenever I play my guitar (the electric one, anyway...). He has a very distinctive voice and I've heard him duplicate some sounds from the TV. Tempest, who couldn't care less about my guitar playing, still has his habit of crawling up to lay down next to my face about 4:30-5:00 AM, only he tends to take most of the pillow for himself now. A few nights ago they both crawled down under the covers (without waking me...) and I awoke with Haya-Ji stretched out from my feet to almost my waste, and Tempest the rest of the way from Haya-Ji up to my arms -- l-o-n-g cats!! They're both great and doing well, John I can't thank you enough! |
Yes, Bengal cats can learn to walk on harness. |

Libbie, I thought that you’d enjoy a picture of KitKat. He has grown into a beautiful cat. We love him a lot, even though he loves to shred toilet paper. He also loves to go for walks and be outside when we wash cars and do yard work. H is very different than any other cat we’ve ever had. Thank you for a wonderful pet. L. Berg |
They even jump through hoops!!! |

Hi Libby, Here are some photos of the girls. As you can see Dax loves to do her tricks. I move the chairs into lots of different configurations and distances, and she jumps them all. She has a wonderful disposition, and will curl up in a little ball on the couch next to us in the evening, when she is through hiding in boxes and bags. We love our cats very much and play with them as much as we can. Dax is a little shy with new people but will come around to play if it looks like fun. We sincerely hope that you enjoy these pictures and you should be happy for leaving a legacy of Bengal happiness all over the world. Thankfully, Frank B. |
These 3 Bengal cats all live on a yacht! Talk about a love for water! |

Just a quick howdy! Boy are our snows the consummate hunters. (although Emerald is the queen of bug inside and out) Regarding the duck on the dock. We stood on the dock about 10 feet away from Kasmir and watched her for 20 minutes. She know she is not allowed off the boat, but we didn’t interrupt her this one time. She stalked this duck one muscle at a time, it is incredible how they can isolate each muscle. It took her a while, but she inched her way off the boat, onto the stir and just when it was apparent that she would jump on the duck, we stopped her. She was aware of nothing except her intention about that duck! We thought you would enjoy the enclosed photos. Hope you are having a great summer. Sally. |

Hi Libbie! Just thought I'd drop you a line to let you know that Tazz is doing great and he is my best bud! I've never known a cat that is so loving and playful! He is so much fun, I don't want to leave him for work. Thanks so much for the very best friend one could imagine. Sincerely, K Seydow |
A little boy names Rowdy.... careful what you name them!!! |

Libbie, Here are the pictures I told you I would send. Hope you enjoy them. He’s getting big isn’t he! In fact, right now, he is sleeping in my lap. Take care, Mary and Rowdy.

A Christmas letter:
Dear Libbie, We would just like to thank you for our wonderful joy, you brought into our lives. She has a great personality, she loves water, and she seems almost human. She has brought us much laughter. She is spoiled beyond belief. She has more presents under the tree than we have from one another. Thanks. B. J and Y.
