Bengals are my mom's favorites, too. I might end up buying her one some day to keep her company. My current cat is a stray dark and light gray tabby named Tiger. I've had him since I was 10 and he'll be 12 in march. He lives with my parents now because he can't handle living in an apartment.
Yeah, most def a cat lover :). My dream cat would be a white tiger or a snow leopard, but in reality, if I could afford it, I would get a lilac point ragdoll. They're not quite long hair, though they do require some level of grooming, and they're very intuitive cats, so they will adjust their behavior depending on the moods of the people around them. I really like that idea and would love to have a cat that can tell when i need to cuddle and when I need to be just left alone. :) What about you?
