He can use his wheel but it’s a feline motion wheel. Does anyone know a uk supplier of feline motion wheels and accessories? It’s just they charge £200 in taxes and shipping from us ?

Oh my !! I am in the process of eliminating foods / ingredients bcuz we believe our girl Misha has some kind of food allergy. She got another steroid shot a few weeks ago and this time it only seemed to stop her excessive licking for 2 weeks, where before the she got relief for much longer.

I was originally looking to replace her canned wet food bcuz for dry we were giving her Royal Canin which, I thought was supposed to be one of the best brands for cats. Then I just happen to be reading the ingredients and I was shocked !! The whole first paragraph of ingredients is all filler junk that I bet something there is causing her itching. It's corn meal, wheat, chicken meal, and other junk that's in this food. I just couldn't believe it.

So now i'm on the hunt for both wet & dry. Ugggh. Not sure why i'm posting, I guess just aggrevated and venting.

What I can say is, she does go outside, and is an incredible hunter. She loves hunting baby rabbits, then after murdering them, she goes for the organs 🤮 Yet, I buy her those air dried 2 ingredient rabbit morsel treats and sometimes she'll eat them all, sometimes a few, and sometimes turn her nose up and walk away..... omg she is SO SO fussy !!! I am at my witts end and about ready to start ripping my own hair out.

Heeey guys!

I recently got a Bengal girl named Powder (PowPow), and she’s almost 4 months old. I’m a first-time Bengal owner, so I’m mostly looking for a general timeline of how the settling-in/bonding process usually goes and whether I’m doing things right so far.

It’s been 3 days since I brought her home, and for now I’ve kept her in my bedroom so she has a smaller, safe space to get comfortable in.

So far, she:

- Explores the room a little bit
- Eats some of the dry food I leave out
- Drinks from her water fountain
- Uses the litter box (she started using it more once I moved it closer to where she spends most of her time — it was originally in the bathroom)
- Comes out to play when she hears her wand toy
- Comes out for treats/wet food

When I first brought her home, I carried her over to show her where the litter box was. She seems okay with being held, but sometimes tries to get away, so I’ve been avoiding picking her up unless I need to because I don’t want to force anything.

The main thing is that she spends most of her time hiding under my bed. She’ll happily come out when I start moving her wand toy around and will play with me, or when I offer her a treat. But outside of that, she usually stays under the bed.

One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that she seems to stay out a lot more when the lights are off. Sometimes I can hear her moving around, jumping on things, or exploring the room in the dark. When that happens, I usually just leave her alone because I don’t want her to feel like the second she comes out of hiding I’m going to approach her. I’m assuming she just feels safer exploring when she thinks she isn’t being watched.

I’ve also been trying to let her approach me at her own pace. If I reach my hand out for her to sniff, she’ll either back away and hide or sniff it and then go back under the bed. She lets me pet her while she’s eating a treat or wet food, but otherwise she doesn’t seek out pets or physical contact yet. She also hasn’t really made any noises/meowed at me.

I’m trying to make the room feel like her safe space and teach her that I’m safe to be around without pushing her too much. I play with her every morning before I leave for work, and again when I’m home, and I’m trying to keep her feeding/play schedule fairly consistent so things feel predictable for her.

My main question is: how long should I keep things like this before I start changing anything?

Should I just continue letting PowPow hide under the bed and come out whenever she feels comfortable, or at some point should I start encouraging her to spend more time outside of her hiding spot? And roughly how long did it take your Bengals/kittens to start voluntarily approaching you for pets, cuddles, or attention?

I know 3 days is still very early, so I’m not expecting her to suddenly become cuddly overnight I just want to make sure I’m giving her enough space without accidentally reinforcing hiding as her permanent routine.

Any advice or stories about how your Bengals behaved during their first few days/weeks at home would be really appreciated!

A few pictures from her first few months with us. She’s just over 8 months old now. She drives us a little nuts every now and then, but she gets away with it because she’s so damn cute!
