"We'd only been together a year when we bought our first home together and a year after being there I finally managed to convince Ali to let me get a cat. We were both Cat people but for some reason he just didn't want one, I still to this day don't know what it was that changed his mind but I didn't give him a chance to reconsider. Within 7 days of his change of heart we bought home Lumi, our Mink Seal Snow Bengal. I knew the moment I saw her that she was the one, Ali wasn't so sure which I still like to playfully remind him of from time to time haha! Nothing prepared me for the love I ended up feeling for that cat, I was having a tough time dealing with the fact that I was now an adult with responsibilities and I still to this day say, that little ball of fluff saved me. Both Ali and I had always owned Moggy cats but Lumi was a special breed, she required a lot of attention and her intelligence and loyalty really shocked us, still to this day she sleeps with us every single night. We always joked about getting another cat and I knew one day we would."
This is from a blog post she published a year ago (The truth about owning a bengal cat, 10/2019).
Now suddenly both are turning into dog people haha.
Also this is from the same post:
"How destructive are they?
Unfortunately, very! Well ours were anyway and Lynx far more than Lumi. He scratched EVERYTHING, door frames, sofas, chairs, anything soft, carpets (but only soft high pile carpets, luckily all our wool and jute runners and rugs were safe) and when searching for him in our woods with our Pet Detective we found he’d even been scratching the bark like a wild cat! I’ve had a few jumps pulled and handbags scratched but it doesn’t change anything, they are such incredible animals its just an eye roll because you cant stay angry at them for long."
LOL perhaps the cat wouldn't keep destroying every furniture if it had some proper cat trees and scratching posts, preferably in many rooms.
