I am not flaming you, CP. I actually gave you the benefit of the doubt
because I think you *do* have a good heart. The problem is, and if
you'll open your eyes you'll see that *every poster here* will agree
with me--you don't read a post thoroughly before you go off half-cocked
and start arguing. Half the time it seems you don't read at all. Try
reading a post thoroughly, and try to comprehend exactly what the
poster is *saying* before you reply.

I thought you were very nice, Sherry.

I am a proud human servent to three cats.

Regarding the remainder of your response, I have owned cats for most
of my 70 yrs and all but the most recent tabby (aged 14) lived into
their late teens. So please reframe from making assumptions to fit
your convenient preconceptions. Thank you.

Philip, do a quick google search on CP's past posting history. You'll
find he doesn't have preconceptions. In fact, he doesn't have
conceptions at all. He's got a good heart but most of the time he
doesn't comprehend what's been written.

I that case, I am more confident that "he" is a "human servant" with the
cats having the upper hand.

Well, thank you. I'm trying. I really am.


I kind of feel I have done my part over the past two
months by setting the bad example. Not with
CP, but you know what I mean. Seems we have
reached a calm period now, anyway. Hopefully
not the calm before another storm.

I've been here less than a week. Ya mean to say you nice people have staged
"cat fights" on this forum?

There is reading and then there is comprehension, CP.

But that is not your real reason. Your responses suggest that if the other
person does not agree with your viewpoint that repetition will win them
over. Forget it, CP. You are that transparent.

It is cat and kitten season so the best thing you can do is adopt
from a shelter because it helps save a life and gives that cat
needing one, a home full of love and happiness.

an animal shelter? Do you also claim as many such kitties as
practical and then find them new homes too?

that are awaiting adoption at the local shelter.

*sigh* Please note the quotations around 'help'. Bengals
love to play in water. Therefore, running water would be a
great draw for paws and heads and faces and sometimes entire
bodies while the person is trying to do the dishes. They're
'helping'.
As for interactive, Bengals aren't
the only breed requiring this.

Where, exactly, did I say that only Bengals are interactive?
Any cat can have any of the traits I discuss -- it's just that
Bengals tend to have all of them

Actually, they were all spontaneous on my part.

But this only happens once a year.


Honestly, Phillip, all of the qualities you are looking for can be
found in a shelter Moggie. If you are not interested in adopting an
older cat, look at the kittens. You can develop a bond from the
beginning, and it will be a very special relationship throughout your
lives. No cat will ever replace the one you lost, but they each have
their own special qualities that you will grow to love.

Thank you -L. The wife and I are aware of this reality. A kitten is
preferred for the reasons of bonding. Yes, I've gone thru the bonding
exercises via hand feeding for the first few weeks and all that. So there
is latitude here for temperament. Something between a lap cat and one that
hooks into the accoustic ceiling when startled. LOL

You are full of crap. I think you just don't like the fact someone is
willing to call your hand here. You seem to think that going to a breeder is
better than cats in the shelter. Your reasoning for not supporting getting a
cat from the shelter is simply because it is too sad. What is sad is not
giving a cat that needs one a really good home when so many cats are in the
shelter due to no fault of their own. I really don't think you should have a
cat since it is obvious to me from what you posted that you are not ready.
The cats in the shelters deserve good and loving homes with humans that
actually are willing to care for them for life not just some part-time
responsibility.

It is apparent that no matter what anyone says that you are not going to
listen since you seem hell bent on getting a purebreed. I guess I have said
all I can say. You have proved my point that some people like yourself see
shelter cats as being lower in quality than a purebreed which simply is not
true.
