As requested in the flat cats thread, meet Kubo the silver Bengal everyone, he's a year old and I've had him for ~9months. He's grown in to a strong, agile, athletic super cute kitten! His mom was a snow bengal and his dad a normal colour so he's got some strips of orange down his back and his nose which you can see in some of the pics.
Yes he jumps up there on his own o_O
Gamer kitty
Meerkitty?
Those scratches aren't all him
Super Kitty!
Star Kitty?
Because TMI!

Bengals are such stunning cats and Kubo is no exception!
I have been feeding and trying to befriend a grey cat that has been visiting my garden, today for no apparent reason it came up to me.
Awesomeness has occurred today folks.
Oh and it is a she, pretty skinny but other than that in pretty good condition. Does not like to be picked up and very vocal.
My Millie came to investigate and a bit hissing occurred but fair play to Millie when I told her 'no' she stopped with the hissing and whilst the grey was at my feet Millie came and lay a few feet behind me.
This has been a fantastic experience.

That is a lovely cat - I hope it turns out well for you both - unlike Wilton here.
We moved into a renter for a while and not long after we moved in we kept seeing this grey cat walking round - One day it came to me and I fed it - that was it he was around all the time - a few days later door bell went - Have you seen a long haired cat - So told him to come in -went in kitchen to door and waved my arms around - Wilton as we called him ran up garden path - opened door and guy picked him up and took him home - He told me Wilton was totally deaf but I knew that then.- as soon as guy got him home (three door away) and put him down he was back round our garden - One other thing was being long haired he was matted and they never did anything about it so after each evening meal we picked him up and cut solid fur balls off him - it was so matted it was pulling his skin off.
Because Wilton was deaf this guys grand children didn't understand they shouldn't go up to him and grab him - the result was he bit and scratched them - I used to stamp floor as I was walking toward him and he woke up before I got there.
We bought this house and I couldn't decide if we should ask to take him - we had lost our two a year or so ago and swore we wouldn't have any more - We decided that being as he was deaf he would be safer in that cul-de -sac than here with a road he didn't know.
Twice after we moved I got calls from the estate agent if I knew where the cat came from so it seems he was still sitting there long after we left - I still feel guilty to this day leaving him.
ps - we called him Wilton because of his coat
pps - damn it - got bit of grit in my eye

As have I.
Turns out she is a he as my local Cats Protection came out to scan him, good news is that he is chipped bad news is that the owner has either dumped him or not kept their details up to date. No one was at home so a message was left in the hope that it was an oversight rather than deliberate.
I have had him in my flat which is a bit of a nightmare as my own cat Millie has not taken kindly to this intruder. But in fairness he does not want to stay anyway and looks for the cat flap exit as soon as he can.
Stuck a paper collar on him but I do not think this will help if he is lost which I hope is all that is the matter.

Isn't he a lovely fellow, he does not seem concerned with Millie though she still hisses which is OK, kept them apart for a while but I only have small flat so not really feasible so I stopped this and so far apart from hissing from Millie it is going as well as can be expected.
I think that he has been on his own for a while and really did not like it much so tends to stick close to me and being very vocal.
If his owners don't come forward then I am going to keep him.

Good man - he deserves keeping - We had Holly from a Vet's loft - that is where they kept their rescue cat's - she had been there for over 12 month's and she settled down well although she didn't go out much but she knew she had a home - Then Ronnie appeared ( around 2015) which put her nose out of joint - Today she still tolerates him but won't connect with him - He on the other hand would love to cuddle up to her - in the house she is queen but outside is his domain - many a time he has hid behind a stem of grass and ambushed her where upon she rolls over with all four legs in the air and claw fully extended. I am sure Millie is a bit more tolerant (I hope so anyway) and you will find they settle down well together.
At the moment it is just growls and hisses from Millie, foggie as I have called the wee man is not bothered with Millie in the slightest. I am hoping that there will be some acceptance from Millie in time, it has only been a couple of days. He has chosen beside my head, which means my pillows now hang off the bed, as his sleeping spot.
Will have him up to the vets in the next couple of days for a thorough inspection and hopefully get an idea on breed and age.

At least the vet will be able to check for a identification chip.
He has already been checked and found to have a chip by Cats Protection on Sunday but unfortunately the phone number associated with the chip is no longer valid and there has been no response from a message put through the letterbox.
To be honest, and this is nothing against you for sharing here, I wish they would stop reporting on this nationally because media interest is more likely to inspire some other sick ***** to do it than it is to lead to the apprehension of any perpetrator(s).
For example, giving the title "Croydon cat killer" gives it a certain notoriety that some people with no morality would probably consider a trophy.
Or just kids being *****. Lulz look at dis report, we too could be in da news lulz! Let's go find a cat lulz.
