You folks know I LOVE Bengal cats. :love_heart:

Today on Judge Judy a woman was suing another woman for remaining $1,400 balance she owed for a Bengal. Cat wasn't in court, just a pic. :laugh:

JJ mentioned she thinks Bengals are beautiful, and years ago she got her grandson one for his birthday and it's grown quite large.
 

I have an active bird feeder. It's always busy with the birds using it. We LOVE it.

Yesterday a cat jumped up on the wall and grabbed one of the birds.

I HATE cats. Would NEVER have one for a pet !!!

Thanks AC. But you can understand my point of view. I KNOW there are countless cat lovers, but that incident made me SICK !

Yes.... but Falcon, that’s what cats do. It’s instinctually for them to do so. I love my cat but she kills, birds, mice, goffers, rabbits, chipmunks, squirrels.... you name it and leaves them as gifts for me on our back deck.
Oddly enough she won’t hunt birds off the bird feeder but she will sit inside and watch them.

I don’t know that much about cats. For instance I hadn’t even heard of bengal cats or coon cats until recently . Those cats are HUGE.
 
I like cats and Bengal cats are beautiful but I could never bring myself to pay $1,400.00 for any pet.

My choice would be a stray, a run of the mill kitten, or a Maine Coon similar to this one.

Yes but Maine Coon cats are about $1,400.00 or more AND they are huge so eat lots. The cat litter box would also have to be appropriately sized as well.

$400 to 1,500. Average cost $1,000.

Total price was $2,000. It's not unusual for a Bengal to cost $4 - $5,000.

The last cat I had, many years ago, was a mighty hunter, a legend in his own mind. He apparently felt the need to provide for his "family" as it was a rare morning I didn't find an offering on the front porch.....a nice juicy squirrel haunch, a pile of guts, half a mouse...… That's pure dedication on the part of a cat, to give up such choice treats to his loved ones.

Oh yes, it is out of love and appreciation on their part. At times it just makes you wish they didn’t love you so much.

I love cats and really like Maine Coon cats, but that photo looks a little bit too large to me, IMHO...but, whaddo I know. :wink::D This was a beautiful Maine Coon I saw at a local cat show around 5 years ago, I took the photos so they're not great. The owner/handler insisted I pet his cat since he already showed, sooooo soft, such a friendly sweetie!

Did Judge Judy make the buyer pay the balance? What reason did the buyer give for not paying the money?

Yeah, buyer had to pay balance. She gave some flimsy excuse about how she thought seller wanted pick of the first litter instead of $$. But JJ didn't buy her story.

I was kinda half listening, and when I heard "Bengal Cat" I sat down.
 
I only paid $600.00 for my daughter`s Bengal (which ended up being MY Bengal :rolleyes:) Guess she was a bargain lol. I sure didn`t think so at the time though.

Yes, Mrs R, I remember you sharing the story of Miko (?). What a challenge! :laugh:

I just saw a story on Yahoo news about two Bengals confiscated at the airport in Hawaii - they are illegal in that state.

John, it is the way nature intended, consider how many predators cats have to deal with including cruel humans,
