Sinba's Diary

My first Blog

Hello everyone,

I'm new around here and I thought I'd introduce myself, since you will be hearing from me often from now on. My name is SINBA; I was born on 25th June 2004 and I'm a brown spotted female Bengal cross with a beautiful leopard print which rather disappeared when I entered my fuzzies (hope they'll be back soon) . It turns out, my breed originated by crossing an Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat, which gives me this strong resemblance to my beautiful wild ancestor and a purely domestic and loveable temperament.

I am very self-assured, confident, outgoing, friendly and extremely intelligent. I eat and drink well, I have very good litter box habits, although I like to chew on the corners of my litter box, and I don't know why but mom says it's not ok, but I do it anyways. I'm in good health, very happy and well settled in my new home, and I don't miss my sisters that much anymore. There are times when I coo and chirp when I look for playmates, and when I'm excited, I tremble and twitch my tail; and believe me, I do get VERY playful - I love to bounce about, roll around, and I'm all over the place. I'm very entertaining and curious - I follow mom and dad around and assist them in any interesting activity such as answering the door, housekeeping or looking in a closet. I especially enjoy climbing on the couch and bed, and like to run down the curtains at night time; that's when I'm hyper-active and very fun-to-watch, but mom usually gets sleepy and wants me to go to sleep.

For much of the time I'm a total softy with a heart of gold. I flop over and roll over my back in ecstasy, go up to mom & dad and nuzzle their faces, purring wildly, then finally curl up into a happy little ball and fall fast asleep. I crave attention and spend many happy hours resting piled up on top of them purring. I wake mommy in the night, rubbing my head against her and paddling happily on the covers with my paws, then sleep silently with her till morning.

Apparently, I'll be a large, sleek and very muscular cat and an astounding athlete once I grow up; I can't wait to climb doors and cupboards, leap to huge heights, and especially land on mom or dad's shoulder in a single leap from a couple of meters away; I heard Bengals do that a lot! I was also told that we are more 'dog-like' because we play fetch and are 'supposedly' not afraid of water; I haven't tried it yet, but I might wanna try out having a swishing action with water, and maybe even get into a running shower sometime, we'll see... so far, I prefer to keep a safety distance from running water.

So that's it for now... I just wanted to present myself to you and let you know that I was adopted about two months ago and quickly became a dynamic, interactive, affectionate and trustworthy companion to mom and dad.

I'm looking forward to update you with my progress really soon... until then, take care... I know, mom & dad will take good care of me - they are already doing a great job and giving me much love and affection!

YOWWWLLL...
