I remember being bitten by a dog when I was a child (Long ago!!). I went crying home to mother who gave me a wapping for touching a strange dog!!!
Our Soon To Be New Fosters
-
Well good luck!!! I'm glad they both arrived ok …
very excited for you -
So how goes it with the kitties?
-
They have been in isolation from our animals for the last week. They have one more week of isolation then we can start to integrate with our animals so they have more space and freedom.
I must say that they have phenomenal temperaments. I know many cats who have been through far less than these boys have who are not nearly as well adjusted as these boys. They are amazingly out going and social. They love being petted and having attention. Really, I am amazed that they have been in rescue so long. They are really great cats. They use their litterbox and their scratching post, they are social and interactive, they like toys, and they are only 18 months old or so. Truly, they are just about everything most people are looking for in a cat.
I am not sure how well they will get along with dogs, just because they have never been around dogs. Though if this is the typical temperament for Bengals, I would feel pretty confident that there are ones out there that would do well with basenjis.

Thanks much for your posts Ivoss. I have def. been thinking about getting one - I was just worried they might be overwhelmed with my B..so yay for good news!

We have started doing introductions through the baby gate between the cats and the basenjis. Right now the only basenji they have seen is our oldest one Nicky, since he has always loved cats.
He is such a funny dog. He loves cats so much and stands so still so they will come up and greet them and then as they are touching noses he sticks his paw through the gate and pats them on the head. They leap back 3 feet and stare at him and he is confused by why they won't keep talking to him.
I think it is a good sign that they are calm around him and though they do leap out of his way when he paws them, they don't really run away they just leap back to get his paw off their head. They then continue to look at him and don't seem afraid of him, just cautious.

Our foster cats now have their own webpage, so they can hopefully find a forever home. They are real darlings and have been doing well with the dogs on a one to one basis. They actually seem to get along very well with other animals. Unfortunately, the same can not be said for my 7 year old cat.

The Bengal fosters have finally gone to a new home. Yay!
-
Awwww, keep us posted on how they are doing. They sound like real sweeties. My friend has had two Bengals, they are gorgeous animals!

I Love bengals!!!
Before we got our spaiky,we searched for a (snow)bengal or a abbesijn!
In Holland they are very very rear and expensive…
A friend of us bred bengals for a long time, he stopped just before we wanted one... -
