A
MUST READ

OFTEN ASKED QUESTIONS... this is the way I do it is.... I don't like cleaning�kitten poop off my floor. I train kittens to use the litter box as soon as they start to eat. I use pine pllet litter which is too large for the kittens to cover their poop.The reason for this.... Pine litter absorbs 99% of the oder from poo even when not cover. Kittens can still smell their poop when they get close to the litter box So they learn where to go and not make a mess on my floor. That's why my kittens, if you follow my suggestiones, �do not have accidents when you get the home. Do your kittens scratch? Kittens have very sharp nales. This is because they shed the dry outer shell of the nail leaving the fresh sharp points. Kitten seem to shed their nails more often than adult cats. When first learning to play, kittens don't know that these points can accidentally scratch. I discourage this while playing. I also cut their nails often. They get used to this process making it easier for you to cut their nails ehrn you get them home with you . If you try givng medicine a kitten it will spit it out, try to get away from you and if you don't let it go it might scratch you. This can be a real pain. I don't like to give Meds. My solution is to breed genetically sound cats that are not predisposed to ailments. I keep them in a clean environment. While young they are not exposed to unfamiliar cats that may be carrying a problem. I check my adult cat's genetics. My kittens are from �genetically sound parents and are physically healthy. |

FEEDING YOUR NEW BENGAL KITTEN
All the kittens and
cats at Trendar have dry food available to eat as they choose. Most good brands with no grain or byproducts work well. I am currently mixing... Wilderness and Taste of the Wild dry food. To this I add a tiny bit of cat enzymes. Morning and evening I mix in a bit of canned food. |

LITTER BOX TRAINING...
Has begun and has been successful before leaving
my home.
Often there is no problem at his new home, but....
this is the single most
common reason all breeds of cat are given up.
It truly does attract the kittens. READ the insert that comes with each bag � GREAT advice, It will help a lot. When you are not home or unable to monitor him � ABSOLUTELY DO put him in a smaller room with two litter boxes. This is not cruel � give him toys, a tree, his food, and even a little canned food each time you place him in there. This will be �his� room and he will get used to it. |

A kitten from Trendar is trained
before you get it, To use pine
pellet litter. It is only a baby and will run and play until the last
minute, then it needs to have a litter box close at hand. Please keep
SEVERAL small litter boxes throughout the house until he gets older and has
better control.
a well behaved kitten is a happy kitten
MORE HELPFUL HINTS
the most common complaint about all breeds of cat
is poor litter box habits.
Here are the best tips for resolving a problem.
Please act after only ONE accident!
FIRST THING I SUGGEST YOU DO IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT
Take your cat to the vet. Your cat may have
a medical problem such as UTI, Urinary Tract Infection, that needs to be
treated with antibiotics.
(usually not the case in young kittens)
if there is no medical reason then try these helpful tips....
1. Clean the litter box frequently. You don't like to use a dirty
bathroom and neither does your cat. Your cat may be refusing to use the
litter box because it is smelly and unsanitary.
2. Try switching to a different litter. Your cat may not like the
smell or texture of the current litter. Un-perfumed clay litter is often
most appealing to cats.
3. Add additional litter boxes. Be sure to have one more box than the
number of cats you have. For example, if you have two cats, have at least
three litter boxes. Cats are territorial and may be refusing to share the
box with rival cats in the house.
4. Try Dr. Elsey's Cat Attract Litter. This litter contains a special
blend of herbs that attract kitties to it. Many cats' litter box problems
are resolved after going through one bag of this liter. The litter also has
a money-back guarantee. Expensive but worth it.... I keep it on hand for
training stubborn kittens.
5. Move the litter boxes to a more appealing location. People often
locate the litter boxes next to the food and water
bowls, a loud, scary washing machine or in a cold, dark basement, which
could be the reason some cats refuse to use them.
6. Take the top off the litter boxes. Cats prefer uncovered boxes.
Your cat may be choosing to relieve him or herself on the carpet because the
litter boxes are too cramped with the tops on them.
7. Buy a bigger litter boxes. Cats need room to dig and turn around
easily in the litter boxes. Large, shallow storage bins without the lids
also work well as litter pans for some cats.
8. Buy a Feliway plug-in or spray if your cat is using one area of
the house instead of the box. Spray it in the problem
area. The ingredients in Feliway mimic cats'
pheromones, which will help put your kitty at ease and resolve
stress-related litter box issues.
9. Be sure to thoroughly clean the spots where your cat has had
accidents with an enzymatic pet cleaner that will remove all evidence of the
problems. You may not be able to detect the smell after cleaning the area,
but your cat probably can if a pet stain cleaner is not used.
10. put another litter box in the area where he likes to pee.
or put aluminum foil over the area. Many cats will not walk on foil.

Noisy Kittens
Bengals
Like Water
Not an
accidental dip, Trendar's F2 RU4Real Enjoys playing in Running Water, and not
just with a
paw ....
It is
common for Bengals to dip a paw and lick the water off.
Iisn't it more civilized than dipping your nose in the
water bowl.
Do
Bengals Shed, Are they Hypoallergenic ?
Hi Holly, My answer, Bengals shed Very Litter, it is
most noticeable during spring.
Are Bengals
Destructive to Furniture???
not if they have a good scratching pad.... or their own
furniture
Cat Furniture need not be expensive.
Early
Spay and Neuter All my pet Bengals are spayed by my personal vet
MANY Vets I have noted on several occasions the pain that is
associated with the surgery to be great on animals that are
older with the young kittens displaying either NO pain or
MILD pain - It is amazing! *Kittens can go home and start the bonding process with
new families with NO Breaks
*Kittens are LESS likely to be declawed as these are
typically surgeries that are performed hand in hand
*Kittens heal faster at an early age
*Kittens are examined thoroughly adding to the other vet
exams performed on your kittens prior to placement
*Kittens can put their energies into growing and not
sexual maturity
*We have seen that ALMOST NEVER do you have *sprayer*
that originated from an ESN
*There is comfort in knowing that your kittens are indeed
altered and that you as a pet owner do not this
responsibility
*Pet owners are thrilled to know this has been taken care
of
*It is wonderful to be able to hand over the blue slip to
the new owner at the time of purchase and not have to worry
about obtaining a proof of alteration certificate
*It eases my mind to know that a kitten was cared for by
my vet, the vet you trust and respect
There are other benefits that come about as well - far
too numerous to list!
(early spay section written by; Brigitte McMinn)
Please
be aware that Bengals really DO like water. Not just to look
at. If you do not like a furry friend in your bath or
shower, or if you do not think they should be playing in the
water as you wash the dished, then you must teach them
appropriate behavior or simply pout them
in another room..
I am afraid the Bengal will teach YOU that keeping the
toilet seat closed IS proper behavior. While a dog may drink
out of the pot, a Bengal will be insulted when you do the
dirty in their wading pool :-)
Finding toys in the water bowl, or a wet toy in the floor is
just part of life with a friendly, frisky Bengal :-)
depends on how allergic you are...
This is a Note
from a family that purchased 2 of my kittens, after their
last 2 cats died of old age.
Just a question... I had been used to vacuuming the
furniture once a week, and daily vacuuming of the floors, with my other
two cats.
Is it possible these Bengal cats don't shed??
I can wear new black jeans,
and there is little, if any cat hair on them. Maybe it's a kitten thing.
Let me know. I didn't find anything on this subject in any of the web
sites.

For this reason, and that
fact that they are easy to bathe, some people say Bengals
are hypoallergenic. This is
not completly true...
If you are VERY SENSITIVE you must bathe them at least once
weekly and clean your carpet and draperies often.
and you keep the nails clipped...
These samples are from $20 to $50. from
local pet stores.
Flat cardboard scratchers area a favorite for my
kittens and cats.
before leaving for their new homes.
This just makes life easier for everyone.
You do not have to worry about the surgery and
I do not have to worry about follow up paperwork.

If your local vet says wait until 6 months old... call another vet or call
your local animal shelter for references.

Early Kitten Spay /
Neuter Information
There is also the NUMEROUS added benefits:
If your vet is unwilling to perform ESN - don't force the
issue, he needs to be sure he can do it - but, he might be
surprised himself! You may want to seek out a second vet -
but ultimately you need to be comfortable.
for early S/N vets call your local humane
society or animal shelter.
