One of the greatest joys of breeding Bengals is to receive wonderful letters, photos, and updates from families around the USA who have chosen to take a Temptation bengal into their homes and hearts. I would like to share some of their photos and comments below.Brag Note: TemptationBengals Rascal who resides with Debra Clark at Noahs Clarks cattery attended his very first show after he retired. Their photos are at the bottom of this page. He earned his Champion title and received 5th Best Shorthair Alter and 5th Best Alter finals! Congratulations to Rascal and Debra! Simba ![]() I can't tell you how happy we are to have him home! He is adjusting perfectly, eating like a champ, and using the litter box! He LOVES attention and gets plenty of it. Simba is the absolute best cat - bar none! I think it has everything to do with coming from a quality breeder! Cordially, SalDecember 2009 ![]() Hi Joy. Drenny has now taken over the house. She will now allow us to pet/brush her if she is in the mood. She is a great pet and we are so happy to have her. She now won't leave me alone while Julie works. Thanks again Bob & Julie January 2010 Kipper ![]() ![]() Hi Joy, I wanted to
thank you for our new baby Bengal we got from you. My family couldn’t be more
Happy! He has been such a joy to have. Very loving lap kitty. Very well litter
trained. You are an awesome breeder your kitten’s are well socialized and
loving. You can tell you take a lot of time and commitment to your cattery.
Thanks so much for the tour my husband and I really enjoyed it. You really love
your Bengals and that shows. Again thanks for our beautiful kitten! If ever we
decide to get another Bengal we will definitely come to you. Here are some
pictures of Kipper playing. Thank you, December 2009 Cali and Delko ![]()
Hi Joy,
Just wanted to drop you a note and let you know everything is going well with the kids. I named the girl Cali and the boy is Delko. The energy level on these two is unreal I actually fell asleep watching them. I enclosed a picture of them napping this afternoon. They are eating, playing and learning there new surroundings. Thank you again I could not be happier. I will keep in touch and send more pictures as soon as I can get them to stand still long enough.

![]() Hi Joy, I just wanted to drop you a line on how Jaeger and Griffin are doing. They are doing great, so wonderful to have around. Most days they spend wrestling and playing and then curl up with me to sleep when they are worn out. When I brought them to the vet at 6 months just for a checkup they passed with flying colors and weighed in at 8.5lbs (Yaeger) and 10lbs (Griffin). I can't believe how loving and social they are. They are some of the rare cats that I have been around that just want to be with me all the time. They follow me around the house when I am cleaning, cooking, or just straightening up. Occasionally they will "demand" to both be carried around at the same time. It makes getting anything done difficult :). They really love the water and will jump in the shower with me if I am not careful. I have attached some pictures of them. Best Wishes Alex November 2009

Hi Joy Jane + Gary + Calie Sept 2009 Isabel and Seltzer ![]() Hi Joy,
Seltzer and Isabel are doing great. Isabel wants lots of attention, both from us and from Seltzer. She's a real love. Seltzer enjoys cuddling in my lap now when he's sleepy, of course if it's play time he'd rather be zooming after mice or balls, LOL. Thank you for raising such wonderful Bengals. We will keep you posted from time to time... and of course will send you the paperwork once Seltzer is neutered. Sincerly, Aletris Cali
Good Morning Joy! Evelyn here from Long Island, New York with Cali. Mrs. Calibash is doing very well.... She is a very sweet little pussykat and we love her very much. Shanny and her have become best friends and Lilo and Stitch love her too. She is the softest, most gorgeous little kitten. She flies around the living room playing with the teaser on the fishing pole leaping and spinning and catches it in mid air. She is quite the huntress. She is amazing! She drinks exclusively from the faucets in the kitchen and bathroom and loves to lie on the warm heater while I shower. She likes to creep under the blankets at night and snuggle up against me. Her appetite is very hardy for a little girl. The vet’s office told me to hurry up and come get her because somebody is going to steal her. She is the talk of the town in these parts. Hope all is well with you. Feb 2009 Saki
That kitten is the cutest thing we have ever seen. She is completely crazy about my son. She is purring on his lap , and she was kneading him last night. She slept on Jake's chest all night,and loves being with him. She loves to play,loves her new bed,loves her kitty condo, and seems to have adjusted instantly. I just never expected an instant connection with Jake and the kitty, but it is very apparent. They seem to be smitten with each other Thanks Again, Susan Feb 2009 Sami
Yep, we named her Sami! I just wanted to drop you an email to thank you for her. She is such a wonderful addition to our family. She's crazy!!!!!!! She's all over the place and always on our shoulders, heads, etc.! She has adjusted very well and we couldn't be happier with her. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart and we keep in touch from time to time to let you know how she's doing. Take care,Cindy Feb 2009 Jinxy
We absolutely love the kiiten. She is so sweet and playful. She is coming to work with us during the day so she won't be alone. Her name is Jinxy.... Thanks again to you and Keith! The Swaldi Family March 2009 Bryleigh
Hi The little one is doing great! She loves to go for rides in the car. She sits in her carrier and usually falls asleep after a thorough bath. She spends time at both my house and Aarons and has adjusted well to both locations. She runs around like she owns the place, LOL! Right now she is stretched out next to me on the couch as I type this on my laptop. As soon as she sees the computer, she is right there hoping for a video clip to watch. She enjoys watching cats on Youtube.com. She is also a Yankees fan and I am trying to get her to watch the Bills, but due to their HORRIBLE play, she is resistant to subject herself to the torture! I have attached a recent photo with Aaron showing her off! Donna from Rochester,NY June 2006 Jeeter
Hi Joy Just wanted to give you an update. Jeter did great at the vet and is loving his new home!! He seems to have adjusted SOOOO well and in a very short time!!! He has such a great personality and loves all of the attention all of our visitors have been giving him. He has more toys than you can imagine! Every person that has come to welcome him has brought him a gift bag filled with fun stuff!!! Spoiled already!!!!! He loves to sleep on the couch, but mostly on our laps, he likes to curl up by the screen door and lay in the sun, and hide under the chair covers in the dining room. We love him!!!!!! Regards, Sonya from Staten Island, NY September 2008 Indy
Mr. Personality entertained us the whole ride home- he wasn't happy in the carrier so he sat with everybody, took a nap, now we are playing w/ him. He is such a love. He purrs and plays. Thank you so much- you are wonderful parents- or in-laws anyway! It was generous of you to show us your brood, we'll be talking about that gigantic cat forever! Our typically sarcastic 16 year old son immediately declared the new cat "his boy chillin'". Anne from Bradford County, Pa Aug 2008 Bast
Hi Joy Just a quick note to let you know we took Bast to the vet last Wed, July 30. She tested negative for feline leukemia. She also tested neg for parasites. She is adorable and we love her very much. We have been slowly introducing her to the "cat family" and no problems. They all get along with her. She has more energy than any cat I have ever seen, I think she is part bird, she flies through the air!! Again, we love her so much!! Teresa from Aliquippa, PA August 2008 We just LOVE her, she is the most precious cat I think I have ever had--she is "one of a kind"--she goes from being a docile lap cat to a fearless jungle cat in a split second. Her temperment is fabulous!! Her markings and her face are just breathtaking. We will need to take a photo someday and send it to you.... Thank you for such a precious gift--she has brought much happiness to us and our "cat family". Thanks A Million!! Update March 2009 Suki
Joy Suki is such a beautiful energetic full of life happy kitty. She is such a lap cat....I walk around literally holding her with one arm as I walk around and try to change or do stuff around the house. She loves to perch on my shoulder, I guess to get a glimpse of me, or just plain being curious....She's such a sweet thing...she comes when called, every single time. She is feisty, quick and will brawl with the boys just fine. Mind you our dog Sammy is 70lbs, and she put him in place!! LOL Even Keith is amazed on how much love and attention these kitties give us. He's never experienced cats that are so expressive and loving...and no allergies!! LOL I can never put into words how much I love and appreciate them. I thank God so much for being able to be a mommy to these beautiful amazing animals. Thank you so much, enjoy the pictures.... Just know they are very much loved, and spoiled!! Gina from NYC June 2008 Cheetah
Cheetah is doing wonderful. He's very spoiled over here. He made the adjustment so well, mostly I guess because of the people he grew up with.... Mike from NYS December 2006 Shotgun
Shotgun is doing great. He's so much fun and has a great purrsonality. I am sure that we will be coming back for another kitten. Amanda from NYC March 2008 Fudgie
photo taken May 2007
Just wanted to let you know how our little Fudgie has grown. She is
the most spoiled cat we have ever encountered! She expects us to cater
to her every want and need (and we always do whatever she wants, just
because). She loves water, and on occasion, when in the shower, if you
look down, she's in the tub looking up at you :) She gets along with
all the other cats, and loves to play with the two younger cats....
We love her dearly, and are amazed at what a wonderful personality she
has. She is sweet, loving (and demanding!) and we wouldn't trade her
for a million dollars!
Kiko
Hi Joy It's Carole here! Kiko is doing great, he is a real prince! Here are a couple of pictures, he is going on 7 lbs and driving my girls Sasha and Phoebe insane! (In a fun way!) .... Debi's Kona is doing fine too, she has leash trained him and takes him for walks around the neighborhood. :) Regards Carole May 2008 New Jersey Kona
Hi Joy! I love him to death and he seems to love me and everyone else as well. He’s a riot! Loves to hang w/ other animals too – dogs and cats both. Tell your daughter that she did a great job raising him – he loves to be held like a baby and also over my shoulder. Others can hold him too. He never claws me or fights – only PLAYS and he lets me know when he wants to do that!! I also taught him to go for walks on a harnass and leash. It’s pretty funny but at least he gets outside Debi September 2008 New Jersey Sandy
Just wanted to give you an update. Sandy is doing just great and we are all just crazy about her! She is so affectionate and while she does not like to be held, will curl up on your lap whenever she can. So far my wife has not had any allergic reaction to her, so that has been a real bonus. Sandy was a little nervous when we first got in the car, but soon was alternately curled up on one of the girls laps or the other for the entire ride home. We kept her in one room the rest of that day and evening. Saturday we started to allow her access to other rooms in our home. We took her to the vet yesterday and she got a clean bill of health.... Regards, David June 2008 Leonidas
I just wanted to thank you again for the opportunity to come an visit you guys. You were both so nice and helpful. Little Leonidas is doing great. He cried a bit the first night but was absolutely fine last night. Hes getting along great and is super friendly and playful. Thank you Jake June 2008 Connecticut
