Theyve got some nice cats in their cattery.
One thing I have to say about Bengals is that they arent the most intelligent breed of cat in the world. The Egyptian Mau beats it with ease. While the Egyptian Mau will attempt to achieve its objective using a combination of brains and brawn, the Bengal attempts to use brawn and brute force, alone.
may just b differnces in individual cats or something that will come with age, ours worked stuff out like turning lights on/off
Lights on an off I can handle. What I dont like the Egyptian Mau doing is attempting to open doors, which it is already doing. And accessing places that I am trying to make inaccessable. The Bengal always wants to climb using the most direct route. The Egyptian Mau first thinks about how he is going to get to his destination, then maps out a (sometimes, complicated) route, to his destination. Sometimes, I dont even know what he is trying to do, but a few minutes later I see him in a place that has me wondering how on Earth he managed to get there. And this at the ripe old age of 4 months.
He's looking better now. And its good to see that he is being fed a variety of foods, to ensure that when he arrives at his new home, he will be more able to adapt to the foods you choose to give him.
My own Bengal is quite happy to eat pretty much any dry food, Natures Menu (which he was never fed, before he arrived at my house) and raw rabbit mince.

As you probably saw there fur goes through a "fuzzy" stage at this age so his markings are not clear though I seem to remember yours not being too fuzzy at a similar age
Ace and Tilly look desperately cute right now, Rotty!
I had Willow (my parents resident cat, complete with broken tail) next to me when I opened this thread, she's buggered off in a huff now. She gets the same way every time I go on Cute Overload....

Apparently Bengals get clearer coats upto the age of 8 months. I only learnt this recently, but I have seen other, younger Bengals who have very clear coats.
My own Bengal was very fuzzy and still is. This is why he wouldnt be ideal to breed from. He is big though and at today's weigh in at the vet, was heavier than Reflex.
Ace looks very small for 10 weeks, but his markings are very good. You probably wouldnt want too big a Bengal, otherwise he might become a handful for his playmate.
As a comparison, here is Mr. Bengal at 8 weeks old:
What date do you bring him home?

Did you find him so cute that you had him stuffed and mounted?
Just checked date of pic and it would make him about 8 weeks
Ace is coming 15 June, Tilly on 27th
His markings still seem quite obscured so hard to tell what he will look like
