Blind Blue Bengal Kitten!

Charity Jun 21, 2005 09:37 PM

I'm a new breeder of the amazing and gorgeous bengal breed. I took my princess (registered at Pandora, nicknamed Little Miss) to the woman whose male is going to perform stud services for us. I am VERY excited, as I've had a huge desire to breed since I was about 3.
Well, as usual, I just had to check out the new kittens of Leopard's Pride and Sherri (the owner) told me about one of the little females, a rare blue, who was born without eyes. The second I saw her, it was love. She's adorable at only 4 weeks old. I melted.
I told my room mate and boyfriend about her, and we decided to bring this little girl home. When I was in 2nd grade I was diagnosed as 'legally blind' and without my contacts my vision is estimated at 2600/2800 instead of 20/20. So I understand what she's going through.
Sherri is giving her away to a very good home, so she'll be coming home in a few weeks. she'll be spayed and live her life as a spoiled rotten indoors-only pet, eating the best of all-natural human grade cat food, with (currently) a 1 year old neutered male bengal, a 10 month old female bengal, and a 3 month old male DLH for playmates. Now i absolutely MUST move into a house... the little one bedroom apartment i share with my three demon cats and two room mates is getting cramped.
BUT I'M SO HAPPY!

I hope you will enjoy your sweet kitten. Do be sure to give her plenty of private space when she first comes home and introduce her new fursiblings gradually.

Since she has been blind from birth chances are that she will adapt pretty quickly. The best thing to do is to not rearrage things too often so she can stay oriented.

Good luck. Keep us posted and let us see some pictures if you can!

Congratulations! Your going to have a huge kitty family! The little bengal baby sounds adorable. I am sure she is going to fit right into your family. If you go to the forums introducing new pets, there are a lot of good tips.
