Any suggestions would be helpful!

Is my kitten a bengal or tabby?

So I got a kitten off of craigslist the other day and she had these unique spots on her and brownnish orange strips also. My daughter named her cheetah because she thought she looked like a baby cheetah ( not really) lol. But what I want to know is if you all think she is a Bengal mix or just a regular old tabby kitty. Im pretty sure she isnt a full breed bengal kitty. She does have black paws I know that is a trait of the bengal kitty. She is a very strange color also. Shes not fully brown, silver, orange or the white color. She is like a light frosty orangy brown. Sorry for my details lol. Please look at the Pics you may be able to tell by them. Oh yes and she does have spots on her sides and on her tummy and some stripes on her back. She is very talkitive and crazy as ever, however she's not to fond of water lol Maybe it will grow on her. And even though her fur looks light, the roots of her hair is a dark color if that means anything.

My Bengal Kitten is EVIL!!!?

*Sigh*

Once again, Bengals are NOT wild cats. They are a fully domestic breed of hybrid cats whose *ancestor* is an Asian Leopard Cat.

Your kitten is not evil. It's untrained because you got it from an irresponsible breeder. It is now your responsibility to train it correctly.

Correct training is not yelling, hitting, squirting, or any such negative reinforcement. If your cat gets attention from being "evil" - it will continue to behave "evil" because it thinks it's fun.

If she climbs your leg, say "NO." take her off immediately, put her on the floor. When she is on the floor, pet her.

Now is a good time to invest in a cat tower, or at very least, a scratching post. Bengals love to play, tumble and climb. (You learned all about that when you researched the breed before you bought her -- right?)

Continue the weekly nail clippings. Reward her for GOOD behavior, and don't give her any reactions for bad behavior. Don't yell or scream if she's hurting you. Make her stop what she's doing wrong while you tell her "NO." And after you tell her, walk away from her and ignore her for a few minutes. She will learn quickly that bad behavor means no attention or interaction.

Believe it or not, Bengals can learn "tricks" and this is a good point in time to teach her to "Sit." This can easily be taught by holding a treat over her head and moving your hand a little behind the top of her head. This will get her to back up and put her rear on the floor in order to see the food. It might not work right away, but be persistant. As soon as she puts her rear on the floor, give her the treat and pet her.

This trick will come in handy when you want to redirect her from negative behavior.

My Bengal cat is unmanageable! Is it normal and what should I do?

You do know that a Bengal is pretty close to a wild cat right? Wild cats are energetic. They are curious. They are smart.Do some research into what you are getting yourself into when you decide to get ANY cat. Did you just read some people say cats are low-maintenance pets, so you decided to get one? No young living being is ever low maintenance.Biting your toes, wanting to go out, jumping about.Are you even reading what you write? Let me enlighten you.YOUR CAT IS BORED OUT OF HER MIND.Let that sink in. And alsoYOUR CAT IS BORED OUT OF HER MIND.Your cat needs exercise, your cat needs stimulation. Do you exercise her? How often?This cat is less than 1 year old, we’re talking a kitten, the prime of energetic.You’re going to want to to exercise this little girl, after waking up in the morning, before breakfast, before dinner, before sleep. That’s 3–4 play sessions a day, around 10–15 minutes each. We’re talking minimum here. Ideally you’d want to squeeze in 1–2 more play sessions at this age.What sort of play sessions? You get an interactive toy, and you make her run, jump, climb. You make her ambush that toy. If she gets bored, grab a different toy. Make sure you put the toys away when you’re not using them so she doesn’t get too used to them. Cats, especially young kittens, will get bored of playing with the same thing all the time, so essentially you’ll want to have several to use on rotation.You can train her to do tricks or solve simple puzzles with clicker training coupled with treats. This will keep her mind stimulated. If you feed her kibble, subtract some of the kibble from her main meal and put it in a puzzle feeder. *Or if you have many high perches around the house, you can hide some of the kibble around those spots, so she has to climb/explore to get a treat. That way she has to expend energy to get food even while you aren’t around.A bengal cat is energetic and requires a lot of attention. If you are not willing to invest your time, this cat would be much happier if you found someone else to look after her.Did I mention: YOUR CAT IS BORED OUT OF HER MIND.==============================================Edit: Added a possible solution (*), realised there was one I have been doing recently that I forgot to add.

I need help convincing my mom to let me have a Bengal Kitten.?

Ok, these are the things you need to do to get your Bengal Kitten:
1.) You need to figure out how important getting the kitten is to you.
2.) You need to figure out what you are willing to give for it.
3.) You need to figure out the REAL reason your mom doesn't want it. Maybe she doesn't want to pay for it, or take care of it. Maybe she's had a really bad experience once...
4.) To find the reason, you can ask her (usually doesn't work) or you can just guess! So guess, and hit it right on the nail! So if you think it's because she doesn't want to have to take care of it, say you'll take care of it. It also helps to LIST exactly what you're going to do when you take care of it. It lets her know that you know what you're doing, and your not overestimating how well you can do the job.
5.) If this doesn't work, remind her how long you have wanted this kitten. It lets her know that it isn't one of those things that you want for a month, then just forget about it. You have to PROVE to her that you really want it, and will take care of it forever.
5.) [LAST RESORT!] (Usually works with parents) Use this as a LAST RESORT only! This will end all arguments! If you use it in the beginning, you will have no chance to say anything afterward; IT'S OVER. This is what you do. Ask to talk to her privately (when she isn't busy, in a good mood, and generally won't blow you off). Sit her down and tell her softly (and genuinely) that having this kitten really means a lot to you. You don't need any evidence (and DONT use any) this time, because now, it's not a debate, it's begging.

Hope that helps! :)

What do people of West Bengal think about Mamata Banerjee's opposing view against Modi?

The people of Bengal are divided between Mamata, and Modi, the voice powerful and great leaders. Both the leaders are egoistic, bold and powerful. Both do not bend for any one. Both attack each other. One that is Modi is more clever, sharp and quick witted. Whereas Mamata is brute, crude and violent, ready to do anything for power. She doesn't care anyone. Mamata always is attacking Modi, because she wants to position herself as the alternative to Modi. Modi is using it to attack her to gain in West Bengal. Hence all those who no pose Modi are siding with Mamata. All those who are against Mamata are supporting BJP. Hence Communists and Congress are left out in the state. If Communists and Congress too attack BJP hard a section of those opposing Modi will opt these two.Mamata is opposing demonetisation, and GST, only because she want to consolidate her position among all those who oppose these interventions. She probably do not know the kitty gritty of these or care to know. She will use any one in her endeavor. She took the help of Kejriwal, during her march towards Rajbhawan. Her attack was severe and point blank. But Modi did not budge an inch. Made her opposition look nothing. It also failed because Modi had gone ten steps ahead to make demonetisation look holy. People accepted the same. All this is possible because Modi is more clever. He sets the strategies right.Mamata do not care for central government's circulars. Modi is bidding time. Will pounce on the government at opportune moments. Mamata’s brute force will not have any effect on strategy and intelligence.

My Bengal cat stole a piece of banana bread from the table. Is it OK for cats to eat banana bread?

Hi there..banana bread will cause little stomach distress. However, it shouldn't be fed in general. Bananas may cause constipation and in some cats loose stools so also shouldn't be fed as well.
