Our Bengal Kitties Caprice and Honey

One of the tutors at Kirkland House had a fantastic Bengal kitten who was the most outgoing, playful, and funny cat I've ever met. So naturally, I've wanted a Bengal kitten ever since. A week after the wedding, there happened to be a cat show in Pleasanton, so Chris and I popped by with the intention of "just looking". Of course, when we got there, the first thing we saw was a basket full of the cutest little leopard-spotted kittens, and you can probably guess what happened!

Here are some pictures of the little cuties:

How to Tell Them Apart:
  • Honey has lots of dark black spots and is a little speed dart, as well as a talented hunter. She's a little shy around strangers, but we think that's because she's smarter. She knows how to open cabinets and is really quick to learn tricks. (She learned "come" in like an hour, and she sometimes "fetches" toys if we throw them.) She's named Honey because we thought she was quiet and sweet when we first got her. Ironic. But she IS sweet sometimes -- especially when she takes a nap on our tummies.
  • Caprice has "rosettes" and her spots are spaced out more. She's hilarious. She has no fear of strangers or the outdoors and loves to go outside on a leash, but we think that's because she's a little dumber. Caprice routinely fell into the bathtub when we kept fishies in there, and she chases her tail so furiously that she often runs into walls. She's a never-ending barrel of laughs!
We also have a couple short videos of the kittens in action. They aren't terribly good videos, but pictures just don't do them justice sometimes!

Haha... I once went "just looking" at a maltese puppy I saw an add for in the newspaper--that's how I ended up with Nopi. :)
