I set to work creating a leaflet which I hoped would lead to Hazel being found by someone locally. It didn’t feel like it would be successful and I was preparing for life without her, but doing something was better that doing nothing. At times like this one tends to question their actions, not only in terms of what could be done, but also what could have been done. Of course, there’s no point in ruminating on past mistakes- the steps I could take now to try and get her back were all that mattered. And so I went off and printed out those leaflets. Little did I know how little they would matter ..read more

It was now Sunday morning. Hazel had been gone for at least two whole days and a night. It was time to take further action. Having not been in this situation before, I looked online for advice. Some of this advice included leaving pungent food in favoured spots and checking sheds and garages. But we’d already tried attracting her with the promise of food and she certainly wasn’t residing in a shed or garage. It was time to take further action. So what could have happened? Well, she’d been either taken or was trapped somewhere. She could have been injured in some way too perhaps or involved in ..read more

The end of summer heading into autumn was a relatively quiet time. Hazel seemed to her enjoy her newfound, albeit limited, freedom and her urine issues ‘dried up.’ But in late October, she went missing. Not Returning Hazel had taken a shine to the outside world. This can be problematic if you intend for your Bengal to primarily be a house cat. Dr Yuki Hattori mentions in his book ‘What Cats Want’, that many cats who experience the outside world will then relentlessly demand to be let out. In Hazel’s case, this took the form of miaowing and pawing at the relevant exits. This particular day sta ..read more

Amidst all the chaos surrounding Hazel’s toilet issues, came the 6-month anniversary of her living with us. This seemed an appropriate time to reflect on everything that had happened and how we felt about owning a Bengal kitten. Regret Our overarching feeling was that getting her had been a mistake. Despite all the research and having experience of raising other cats, nothing fully prepared us. Hazel seemed to be on another level with regards to her ability to cause problems as you have read in other posts. I would admit that some of this should have been expected and accepted. However, even ..read more

In the previous blog post, ‘Still A New Problem,’I discussed the new methods we’d employed to combat Hazel’s new habit of going to the toilet outside of her litter boxes. Briefly, these involved removing door and litter mats (which had become targets) and cleaning/mopping soiled areas with water/washing powder followed by surgical spirit. The intention was to destroy scents that would indicate to Hazel these areas were fine for her to do her business in. The Outcome- Partial Success There was certainly a reduction in frequency of the problem, and it was easier to clean up messes on a tiled fl ..read more
