Captain Tiger Spots





In December 2005 Larry and I lost all of our good senses and went to Maui to purchase a Bengal kitten. I have always believed that cats and kittens were something that you either acquired in parking lots or sometimes while intoxicated at the party of a person who had a litter of kittens to find homes for. Prior to the week before our acquisition of this kitten we has never heard of Bengals and made this decision based upon a few random web searches.



Captain was on exceedingly cute kitten















Bengals were created by breeding Asia Leopard Cats with a mix of domestic cats. The Asian Leopard Cat is a small forest cat found in the jungles throughout South East and East Asia. I think the wild cat gene is probably what gives Captain his sharp skills for finding food.














Captain maintains the high level of awareness which must have protected his ancestors from the certain death of being eaten my elephants.




Often it was the cute factor alone that prevented Captain from being put in a box and sent back to Maui.




Captain's suspicion that Love Birds are both nutricious and delicious lead to our decision to give Millet to a neighbor
