Hi! It’s me, Keaton again. Last week I told you about myself and a
little bit about Levon. If you remember, Levon is a Silver Bengal, that’s him
in the picture. I hate to admit it, but he’s pretty darn good looking too.
Sometimes he likes to play the ‘leave me alone’ game, but he’s a people lover!
Usually, he can’t get enough attention. If you’re sitting down at the table,
desk, or the sofa he’s right there rubbing up against you. And if you start
stroking him, look out because he’ll just keep turning around and sticking his
head against your hand! It’s disgusting if you ask me. If he were a celebrity
he’d be a camera hog!
Oh, here’s another thing about him. If he thinks you’ve done
something wrong, he’ll let you know about it! A few months ago, the dogs Bristol and Roscoe had a
litter of puppies. Our masters couldn’t let the puppies stay outside, or even
go outside at first. So they kept them inside, inside a huge wooden frame so
they’d be contained. Here’s the problem; the room they were keep in was the room
we only shared with the Chinchillas which isn’t a problem because they’re
caged. But these puppies were whining constantly every time Bristol was away from them. And they
defecated all the time. When they got big enough, they started getting out of
their box. You can imagine the mess that created.
I tolerated it alright, but Levon sure didn’t. Mind you,
that room was also where our litter box was located. So, in retaliation, Levon
started doing his ‘business’ wherever he wanted to. That usually meant ‘going’
on the masters laid out clothing, furniture or even their bed! I’d just laugh
and shake my head about it, but boy did that upset Annette. She threatened to
let someone adopt him a few times. If you’re thinking about getting a cat,
especially a hybrid breed like we are, remember, retaliation is quite common. You’ll
have to keep a routine with us, and try not to change it. Cats will let you
know they’re upset in one way or another and usually it’s in the form of
something they know you won’t like.
Everything seems to be fine now though. All of the puppies
have been adopted and the adult male is being trained to be inside the house
without bothering us, although it is still only overnight and he’s in a kennel
at bed time. Otherwise he’s kept outside in the fenced yard. I think that’s a
good thing because that dog is hyper! Even though he doesn’t mean to bother us,
I think he just wants to play, he’s freaking 100 pounds! He stalks us all the
time he’s inside the house and not in his kennel. Thank goodness we’re all
quick and can jump high!
Well the sun is out and shining in through the front window.
That’s one of my favorite spots to sleep. I think I’ll go lie on the back of
the sofa and let the sun warm me up. The next time I’ll tell you about Jasmine,
the Snow Bengal. What a character she is! In the mean time take a look at Dons
