IT'S MY CAT CARRIER !!! YOURS IS THE PINK ONE

Hey, has this little girl got some nerve!!??? Mum believes in leaving cat carriers out in order that I get used to it. Reason being, a lot of humans dont realise the trauma for us when the only time we see these carriers is to be shipped to the vet when ill, or to a show. Mums theory is that leave it around the place and if I like, then I can use it as a bed, which I often do, and I am certainly very comfortable with it. I can use it when I like, and this way, do not see it as a nasty place, hence, when I need to go out for whatever reason, I am cool with the idea of this carrier. However, that does not mean that Asha can just waltz in to my carrier and take it over! But, yet again, cos I am a nice guy, I am happy for her to share it temporarily. (probably cos - between you and I she doesnt look too keen to give it back to me!!).

ZAWADI ASHA HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!!

I couldnt wait till next year to tell you about my wonderful little girl. When she arrived, after having 20 minutes without me just to give her time to know where her food and litter tray were, we were introduced. Wow!! she is the most beautiful babe. However, I knew that I must not just accept her into my home, cos she may have taken advantage and thought I was soft, and I knew it was my job to teach her respect as I am the pack leader in this household. She had made for the leopard print igloo, which she had converted into a flat bed (I actually did the same when I was a newbie). Our eyes met, I moved towards her, slowly and with my body almost rubbing on the carpet, then I offered her my paw (well I wasnt really doing that, I actually wanted to bash her on the head to enable her to understand my house rules). However, before I had the chance to get close enough, she dared to hiss at me, as though she was the pack leader. Words fail me to describe my shock at her daring to take such action. Nevertheless, I was prepared to forgive her as she obviously was very young and had not had chance to understand that such behaviour was not to be tolerated by me. Hence, I backed off - not through fear of course, soley because I am a nice guy and am very patient!! Between me and you other Bengals out there, I rather admired her courage, and respect her for her actions. Moving on .... this is her fourth day in my paradise home, and I have to admit that I have been a bit mean. I have jumped on her and made her squeal, chased her and sat on her head, but truly, I did it to make sure that she is able to cope with being a true first class Zawadi Bengal, and guess what, she most certainly is! Since her arrival, mum and dad have given me loads of presents, loads of extra hugs, and attention. Yesterday I decided to go into sulk mode (I was fine really but it was a good act and they were flapping round me all day). I have been eating Ashas' food, and sadly it made me sick, but it just got me even more attention and she didnt get noticed as everyone especially Amy my human sister just kept cuddling me and making a fuss of me ha ha - stupid humans, they are so soft! Today, I decided to admit that I am fine, and I started my day by waking mum at 5am, I invited Asha to join me, and together we played with all our new toys and had loads of fun. I am so happy that Asha and I are together. I have not introduced her to my dogs yet, but she has seen Gizzy peering up at her from the staircase, and didn't seem too bothered. Mum said we have to let her meet my dogs in her own time. Dont think this will be a problem as I have trained my dogs, and I think that once she sees how I handle them, then she will be fine - Bengal Power!!! When they meet, I shall of course update you. Dont forget to double click on the photo to see Asha The Fearless !!!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL - 4 DAYS TO GO!!!

Just four days left till Asha arrives. Apparently the human wrinkleys are staying for a bit of a 'jolly' at the Zawadi household,before they bring her home. I of course, was invited, but hate travelling, and hence they will just have to manage without me. That's okay though cos Amy and I will have a good time here, breaking all the rules!!! I would like to say that it is unlikely, due to all my festive commitments that I shall be able to write again until after Asha has arrived. I would therefore like to wish all my readers a Very Happy Christmas and a Happy New Year. Will continue with my saga in the new year. Take care all you Bengals, and enjoy your Crimbo activities, hope you all get what you have asked Santa for. Speak to you again, next year 2008. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I AM GOING TO BE AN UNCLE OF POSH PUPPIES!!!

With 7 days to go until Asha arrives, I have just discovered that I am going to be an uncle. Apparently, Gizzys' mum is having a litter of German Shephard pups, and being as Gizzy is my big sister,(even though she is a dog) then that makes me a very important close relative - an Uncle in fact!! Well they can count me out for getting up in the night, I have my reputation to think of, but I have to admit it is really exciting cos I am sure they will be quite cute, with an excellent pedigree, but then that is just my opinion. Hence, I thought you might like to see a picture of Gizzys' mum, her name is Kaisha. Her human mum is Tania and she lives in Kent. It would appear these pups are due in the middle of January and if you would like to learn more, then click on www.kaiobiigsd.co.uk and see for yourself.

HO HO HO 8 DAYS TO GO!!!

Well, there you are, me in my stupid Christmas hat. I decided that it was time I gave in, but as you can see, it was under protest - hence I am not looking very impressed!!! Hopefully when Asha is here they will lumber her with the hat and let me off.

I CAN READ AND ONLY 9 DAYS TO GO!!

I decided to have a hunt through all the presents under the tree and helped myself to just one. Sadly I could not eat the evidence (ripped chrissy paper) cos it didnt tast nice. Along came mum a while later and saw the shredded paper. Oh, Tyson has opened a prezzie she said (trying to look annoyed, but grinning). I wonder whose it was, and where it has gone? she said as she searched madly for it. Then she sat putting all the pieces of paper together searching for a name, and guess what? The prezzie was addressed to me!!!That is amazing, she said, Tyson can read. Doh! what is she like? It wasnt difficult for me to sniff out cat nips. However, if she wishes to believe that I can read, then who am I to argue!! Bless her!

10 days to go

Cmon time, move on and bring my little girl home to share SOME of my toys. I have seen what has been wrapped for Christmas, hey girl, we are going to have a ball !!!!!!

13DAYS TO GO N I AM A CHRISTMAS ELEPHANT!!

As previously mentioned, I am not wearing that stupid Christmas Hat. However, what I meant was that I would not wear it correctly, but I am happy to be seen in this photo as A Christmas Elephant ha! ha!

JUST 15 DAYS TO GO

15 days until Asha arrives. So glad because I could have done with her help last night when Gizzy my German Shephard decided to sleep when I wanted to play. Anyway, all you bengals out there, you would have been proud of my actions, when I jumped on her, hung on with my claws, and then bit her (not hard though). Just look at the fear in her eyes. Needless to say, eventually she surrendered and we played. Please double click to enlarge the piccy of Gizzy following my attack, it almost makes me feel sorry for her ha ha! I really think she has come to realise that she must respond to my request for a game, or else ......

JUST 16 DAYS TO GO

16 days to go now till Asha comes. Just want to tell you that last night was hilarious. Mum was trying to get a piccy of me in my Santa hat. Would I let her?? Of course not!! She was clambering over my cat tree, the couches, even tried to balance on the tall unit, but I was having none of it. Will she get the picture or will she not?? That is for me to decide.

JUST 17 DAYS TO GO !!!

Whilst awaiting the arrival of my little Asha girl, I am having to take out my frustration on one of my cat trees!

JUST 19 DAYS TO GO

Just 19 days until Asha arrives. I helped out this morning with the Christmas wrapping. Presents all over the place and Christmas paper for me to lay on and claw ha ha. Apparently mum and dad are putting up a Christmas Tree next weekend. As this is my first Christmas, I am not quite sure what is involved here, but from what I have heard, they are putting up a tree in the hallway, and putting loads of things on it. I cant wait to see it and I am sure that I should be easily capable of jumping to the top of it or maybe I could hide inside it. As for all the things they are going to put on it, well, loads of new things for me to play with. Anyway, I will let you know how that goes later.

JUST 20 DAYS TO GO

20 days, still seems like forever. I am laying here deciding what to buy Asha for Christmas. Well ...... it will need to be something that we can share, hmmmmm.. maybe I will buy her something with feathers, I love feathers. Possibly something that we can both chase, or something to eat. Maybe I will just leave it to mum and dad to sort out because I am truly too busy enjoying myself to be bothered with going shopping. Poor mum, I jumped from the bread bin to the cooker hood this morning, but unfortunately there was nothing to grip on to, and I slid down the hood, landed on a baking tray and crashed the tray onto the kitchen floor whilst still remaining inside it. It made such a noise that Kye the dobie ran away to his bed (he is so soft). I was okay though and of course, being a Bengal, I wasn't scared one tiny bit.

JUST 21 DAYS TO GO

I cannot understand why baby Asha is playing on my mind so much. I have seen her photos,and one minute I was prepared to accept her in my pack, but now, I hate to admit it, but I actually cant wait for her to arrive. (this is confidential of course, as I am, very capable of leading my pack alone and would not want her to feel that I am so fond of her!). Dont get me wrong, mum and dad are good fun, and I have great times with them, also my two dogs, but it will just be so good to have another Bengal around to discuss Bengal things with which dogs and humans wouldn't have a clue about. For example, during the evening when I have my mad two hours .. providing Asha plays by my rules, then we can have great fun. At the moment, at sleep time, I have to wake mum early morning by bashing her in the face, but with Asha, we will be able to wake them both up by taking on one each. The potential is endless ha ha!!

JUST 22 DAYS TO GO !!!

Time seems to be dragging as I await my bengal angel. I want to show her my Christmas Hat, and I also want to share her Christmas prezzies cos I will have opened all mine by the time she arrives. This picture was taken as I was sleeping and I think I may have been dreaming of Asha which is why I am falling off my cat tree. For anyone who may be concerned, I did not hurt myself, I used my wonderfull claws and dragged myself back up again, and returned to my dreams.

BACK OFF!!!!!!

Can you actually believe that this furry german shephard creature believed that she could share one of my three cat trees. Well, as you can see, i put her straight in her place, bloomin' liberty!!!

MY PLACE BY THE FIRE

Now, it would appear that these doggy things claim the warmth of the fireside - I DONT THINK SO!!! In the interest and reputation of us Bengals, I have claimed this right, as can be seen. Remember, one has to claim ones right, and us Bengals are not going to be bullied. We shall rule if we decide that this is where we wish to be, and the doggy things will learn to surrender to our needs.

23 DAYS TO GO - JAWS !!!

not too long now till my little girl Asha joins my pack, but in the meantime, I have Gizzy giving it the big with her mouth,. Scared - no, silly girl, nice teeth though, but not bothered !!!

24 DAYS TO GO

Well, having been abandoned for the weekend, I have to say that Amy and I had a grrrrrreat time. She made lots of fuss of me, spoilt me with kisses and cuddles, and although I did miss the wrinkleys, Amy ran around me like a slave and made sure that I was truly spoilt. The funny thing was, that she did not know how to work my self clean litter tray. For those of you that dont know what this is, it is a litter tray which you roll over and all my little deposits, end up in a pull out draw. Well Amy rolled it the wrong way, and I sat and watched her stupidity on mum and dads' bed. She was getting in a right mess, bless her, but eventually she worked it out and managed to take about 20 minutes to clean my tray, which would normally take about one minute!!! I heard her on the phone to the wrinkleys when they were on their way home, and apparently they were driving through terrible conditions and it was very dangerous (that'll teach 'em). When they returned I was asleep, cos I had a long night keeping Amy awake by biting her big toe and lunging my claws into her feet, to ensure she learnt that I would not go to sleep until I was ready. Poor girl, I really shouldnt have done that to her because she was so kind, but nevertheless, it was important not to be soft on her as she has to learn my Bengal Rules. When I awoke, mum was instantly in my face (trying to make up for leaving me). Well, I was not going to let her off lightly, so I had a good stretch, and jumped down and headed for the kitchen in order that she learnt that I was not impressed with her absence when she should have been here pampering me. 'Where was my Devon Cream??' I thought as I wandered accross the worktops. I know they will have bought me some .... well I think they will have. Hmmm where is it?? Can you imagine how I felt to discover that they had not brought any? Now I was really angry, it is one thing to abandon me, but to not bring back any cream, well, now they will pay BIG TIME!! At this stage, any other cat would have needed counselling but I was determined to stay strong. I strutted back into the living room and wailed at them, and mum explained that there was no cream at this time of year until another couple of weeks due to the fact that the stupid humans dont buy it until nearer Christmas. Well, that was it for me, I climbed the stairs, and sat on the top of my bedroom cat tree, staring into the darkness of the night, totally unimpressed. How dare they think that they can return without my Devonshire Cream! Anyway, bedtime came, and by this time, I had mellowed, just a little. Mum got into bed and invited me to join her and dad. I decided that I would have to forgive them, cos I just love that curled up warmness which is only achievable in their bed, but as I flew from my cat tree to their bed in one jump, I bashed mum on the head, in order that she realised she had annoyed me with her selfishness, then I settled down with them for the night and went to sleep. I will be glad when Christmas is over, cos I really cant wait to see Asha, however, that is a secret, wouldnt want her getting the wrong idea. I really cant wait to see her, nice looking girl and she is all mine!!!
