I have yet to give him a name yet, but if it’s not him then it’s his sibling, due to arrive in the Ng residences this November after Josiah’s Commonwealth Games. It’s a bengal kitten of four weeks old. It will be our joy, a stepping stone to the start of our family since we are not ready to have a baby yet for so many valid reasons.
According to the Wikipedia, the Bengal is a relatively new hybrid breed of cat, formed by the cross of a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat. They have wild-looking markings like large spots, rosettes, light or white belly. The Bengal cat has a a desirable “wild” appearance with a gentle domestic cat temperament, provided it is separated by at least three generations from the original crossing between a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat.
The best part is, its personality traits fit Josiah’s and mine. I will tell you more when I get to hug it in my arms.
Now, I need your help. Can you please suggest a name for this cute lil meow?
I just remembered when Charlie Sheen from “Two and A Half Men” told his fiance about Sir Lancelot the cat.
“He’s more like SIR CRAP-A-LOT than SIR LANCELOT.”
That really cracked me up!
