Mayflower10cat, the RSPCA is one of the organisations that is part of the organisation I put the website for in post 2.

I'm also very glad that the kittens are pulling through.

Fridaycat, just because the markings are those of a Bengal doesn't mean they aren't also those of some 'ordinary' tabbies. I've seen kittens with markings just like those many times before. Possibly you've just never seen lots of moggy tabbies- I assure you that lots have the most spectacular markings.

To say that those markings can only belong to a Bengal just because you have never seen a moggy with markings like those is most certainly not a scientific proof.

I've never understood why looks or pedigree of animals are important to some people. We dont expect our cats and dogs to just us on our appearance or breeding, so why should we judge them in that very way. I happily admit that some of the permanent cats here could be called ugly by some, but I'm no oil painting, and I dont think many other humans are.

Sorry but I disagree - the brown one definitely shows Bengal genes. I've seen plenty of them to recognise a Bengal when I see one (or not as the case may be) - I would say it's a marbled Bengal not a spotty one.

When I saw the two of them, not being an expert (though I know you are!) the smaller chappie, little Mo, did have the most striking markings even at that young age - marbled, as you say. No bullseye, just fat 'mirror image' stripes.

And that matters because?.....

Please remember that many people who are able to offer happy homes for cats/dosg are not "accepted" by rescues as they do not meet their very often overstrict criteria.

All my 5 (dog and 4 cats) were bought via Gumtree - I wanted dog and cats but none of the rescues I have approached would consider me.

So - I bough mine and look after them to my best ability.

And yes, they are all neutered.

There are always individuals trying to rehome cats and find homes for unwanted kitten if you aren't accepted by rescue organisations. Handing over money just encourages more "accidents" to happen.

My cat was PTS (kidney cancer) - I got 4 kittens, Then .. ah, really I am not going to explain myself as my pets story was all over the forum so many times already, do not want to bore people to death.

The bottom line is, all my lot although paid for (major sin) as at the time that was the only way I could get them - are well looked after, all neutered and they will not add to cat/dog population.

Thanks for your condescending reply...

Who said anything about scientific proof *sheesh!* And, for your info, I have rescued plenty of moggies in my time - indeed my Friday cat is a gorgeous, rescue tabby moggy!! I've also had Charlie cat, a big rescue tabby boy with an even bigger heart, now sadly departed.

The other 2 of my current 5 are a ginger rescue and a B&W rescue, as well as my 2 Bengals.

I did not say those markings can only belong to a Bengal, but I said that I can see Bengal genes in the cat - hardly surprising if it is a Bengal cross.

Just because you do great work rescuing cats, it doesn't mean you can talk down to people who love and appreciate ALL cats - pedigrees and moggies alike :mad: :mad:

Friday cat,Excuse me, but it was you who said you saw the DEFINITE Bengal genes. I see in those photos lovely kittens who have got the same sort of markings that many tabby kittens have got. I think you are the one who is acting as if you know anything, spotting genes is a pretty clever thing to do. Next you'll be offering your services to police to save them costs of DNA testing. You are also insinuating that I must be lying when I say I see tabbies with those marking. (Moggies, generations inbred on Welsh Valley farms, so no chance of being part Bengal)

It is a Bengal cross. It is going to have Bengal genes. I'm not saying other cats can't have lovely markings. And I've not insinuated that you're lying.

I am not going to resort to your low level of sarcasm, so will not be commenting on the other ridiculous statements you've made.
