Buy KitKat chocolate. All cats love the tinfoil that comes with this chocolate bar, especially when rolled into a small ball, and will be amongst the worlds best goal keeper. Also, get fit as you and your kitten should be chasing each other up and down any stairs you have. Once she is tired she will lay on her back, you should tickle her tummy at this point and prepare to get your arm scratched to ****, back legs should be kicking and mouth should be biting.
If you have a rug, then stick your arm underneath it and poke hand out. Wiggle fingers and the cat will go nuts.

Sounds good, but the actual chocolate bar is for me right?
Cats don't eat chocolate
They just like the foil.
The light coloured cat is indeed a Bengal.
This cost £650, including neutering and microchipping. It was done by breeder (I always advise to get the neutering done by the breeder as they can get it done cheaper and if there are any complications, the breeder and their vet the best people to deal with the problem).
The dark coloured cat is an Egyptian Mau - the most "physical" breed. The first mating of any hybrid (Bengal, Savannah, Bobcat, etc) is usually with an Egyptian Mau, due to their physical capabilities. These can be had at lower prices. Mine cost just under £500, including neutering/microchipping.
Oooooh...I can see bloodied hands. If you do this and you haven't clipped the claws of your cat, I advise wearing a glove.
A small price to pay
. Pet cats cant turn you inside out, you will get some scratches and maybe some small bite marks.Neither contain any grains which is great. Both are high in actual meat content too. Ours have some Porta 21 feline sensible which has less meat in but is still grain and bad things free. Its also a lot cheaper than Applaws and Orijen and sadly some sacrifices do need to be made.
Applaws is good, little high in ash but nothing to be worried about for the majority of cats - http://www.petforums.co.uk/1764424-post5.html
Orijen is a great dry food http://www.petforums.co.uk/1769506-post25.html

There is one on that forum for wet food too.

That must be a hell of a cat for that price, wish i had enough for one!
maybe when i start work
I've just recently been adopted by an abandoned cat and I'm having some trouble at night. At the moment I leave the landing window open so she can come and go as she chooses. The last few nights tho I think some other cat is climbing into the house only to be met with the righteous and LOUD fury of my kitty, waking me up consistently between 2 and 3am. I know a cat flap and restricted access to upstairs is the solution but my landlord isn't keen on pets let alone modifications to the back door..
So thoughts? Is it ok to keep the cat locked in at night? Is the 2am wake up something I can tough out and will the other cat (cats?) get the hint and stay out?

We do the same. We rent too, and have two exterior glass doors so cat flap isn't really an option. Ours are out most of the day (though because I'm on summer hols at the mo I just tend to leave back door open when I'm in) - then before bed we call them in.
Went out yesterday and got caught in a rainstorm that only lasted about 5 minutes but came down REALLY heavy - sadly my little friends who I'd left outside got caught in it too:
She wasn't very happy. Pitiful little miaow when she saw me pull up in car, a nice towel dry from me, then spent the rest of the day basking in conservatory in the sunshine - she takes a surprisingly long time to dry off!

Yeah I get the impression Hobbs is female too. I think most of them are if you look at all their sigs
Poppy has a lot of allergies so it's been really hard to find a good food for her. Damn cat - love her to bits though.

The ultra high protein foods give my 2, diarrhoea.
I've now settled on the lesser, Hill Science Sensitive Stomach.
Its a shame because when my Bengal was on the Orijen/Applaws food, he was bulky. Now that I've had to take him off of that, he is very thin. I think the high protein foods is what gives the cats a high concentration of calories. The foods with low protein content are more lightweight...so to speak.
