    What a cute kitten. My cat even when she is older is still fascinated by the toilet flushing.

    We refer to the potty as the punchbowl since all 5 of my furry kids will drink out of it given half a chance. This is a beautiful beautiful boy!!

    Beautiful Bengal kitten. Judging by his humongous paw Ben is going to be a big boy! :)

    Hi Brandi ! How is Napolean doing? I’m glad you liked the names I suggested, in Friday’s post. I added a few more, if you’re interested. Good luck to you in choosing names for your kittens.

    Do you have an un- named little girl?
    How about “Lady Jane” After Lady Jane Grey.
    P.S. I like the way you call them “fuzzbutts”..

    One of my two torties used to drink from the taps. And then when I got out of the bath, she would rub against my wet legs in delight. Her sister would sit on the side of the bath and looked concerned - I was never sure if she was worried at me being in the water or just curious - but woe betide me if my toe ever stuck out of the bath… hunting instincts would quickly re-appear…

    Ben’s a cutie pie for sure. To make up for my grumpy post yesterday, I wanted to share a fun little website with everyone- http://www.indoorcats.tv . It’s a series of very short films from an independent filmmaker about his two cats that have lived in his apartment their whole lives. Pretty cute and funny stuff!

    Ben is a sweetie, but I’d bet a great deal of money that the look of curiosity on his little face will end in one soggy kitty-cat!!

    In my kitten-mommy paranoia, I kept all the toilets shut when my Snick was a tiny baby. Now, of course, in the way of all youngsters kept from something fascinating, he just can’t wait to get at it–he’ll even jump up while I’m still sitting there! Um, honey? Cat-mom would appreciate some privacy right about now…

    And we won’t even discuss his obsession with the Enemy On A Roll…

    What is it about cats and toilets??? My “Pickle” loves to drink out of the toilet….but she makes a mess….she has to swirl the water with her paws before she will drink-therefore if the lid is not down and I forget to look….I am surprised by a seat splashed with water-which is not the most pleasant feeling….especially in the middle of the night. She does the same with her water bowl and usually splashes half the water out before drinking. I still haven’t figured out why she does that. Her babies Dingo and Moxie are both facinated with water also-Moxie plays IN the toilet! but neither do the swirl thing.

    Ben is adorable. Not that I’d recommend while he is so small, but cats can learn to use toilets, I had a friend who taught his Siamese to use one. They even have kitty potty seats.

    What a cute little kitty. It’s funny how some cats like water and others don’t. My cat Mittens likes to drink from the toilet so I have to keep the seat down. (Hubby and the kid are even trained to keep the seat down. Ha ha!) Mittens has filtered water in a clean bowl twice a day but she still checks to see if the toilet seat has been left up.
    Have a great week everyone!

    Ben is awesome. When I make baby noises while looking at the daily kitten my fuzzes come to the computer to see what I am crooning over.

    My baby Kateri loves flushing toilets, bathtub water running and dish water or water in a glass. The oldest, Tigger, hates anything water (but drinks coffee from my cup) and Mikie, the middle furface worries and cries when I am in the shower. He thinks I am drowning in there.

    Ben is destined for greatness. I too love the term–fuzzbutts.

    One of my cats runs into the bathroom every time you flush the toilet. After 10 years, you’d think it would have lost it’s appeal by now :)

    Ben the Bengal is adorable - look at that little curious face. He looks just like my sister’s cat “SamSam”.

    My smudge loves water, even though he’s not a bengal. And it doesn’t stop with the toilet water.

    I pour water into my hand and he laps it up. Plus he jumps in the shower after I leave and licks the tub (gross).

    The best is when he jumps in the shower with my husband - Jeff sprinkles him with the showerhead and then smudge jumps out and runs over to me to show me how spiky his fur is! He also loves when I rub him dry with the towel.

    I envy anyone that has cats.I love them.But I moved to a place that is anti pet haters.I had to part with my three cats.Although I found good homes for all three,it hurts so much.I had no choice,couldnt find a place that was afordable and would allow pets. This was a year ago and I still cry over my babies.
    I think there should be laws against landlords that discrimanate against pets.

    My Ganesh Bengal Cat showers with me every day. He has his own towels.

    For your own protection (and Ben’s) always make sure toilet lids are closed. Ganesh will climb into any open toilet and splash around.

    Ben is adorable. You will love living with a Bengal. Except for the climbing into the toilet part, of course. ;)
