| Our
goal at Baako Bengals is to produce kittens that are extremely well socialized
and comfortable in any home. All of our Bengals seem very content
and happy - this temperament is reflected in our kittens. From birth
on, our kittens are handled many times each day, and by the time they are
4-5 weeks of age, they come running to us for attention, cuddling and play
time. It is our goal that all of our kittens leave here as secure,
happy kittens, that will grow into calm content adults. |
|
| When
our kittens get a little older, we allow them to run free throughout the
house with the family and the adult cats for most of each day. Although
this time is limited while they are learning to use the litter boxes, in
order to avoid forming bad habits, and to help them adjust to being confined,
as being confined may be necessary at certain specific times for their
health and safety. |
|
| We
simply go about our daily activities such as: vacuuming, doing the
laundry, cooking, watching TV, (anything noisy) etc.... therefore our kittens
lose their fear of loud noises and normal daily household activities.
Adults, teenagers, and small children often visit, and we encourage our
visitors to hold and play with the kittens. Exposure to people, sites
and sounds results in our kittens being well socialized. This is
extremely important to us, because when our kittens leave here, we want
them to go to their new homes happy and secure ~ and remain that way! |
|
| As
a responsible breeder, we believe in the importance of testing for Trichomonas
foetus. Our cats have tested negative for Trichomonas foetus.
We will continue to test our cats periodically. |
