Meet Mojo, the F1 Bengal Cat

 Mojo's the newest addition to the family. He's a first generation (F1) Bengal cat. This means one of his parents (his father) is an Asian Leopard Cat (ALC). His mother is an SBT Bengal ( this means the mother is at least 4 generations from the ALC). 

I was originally looking for another Bengal, specifically an early generation to add to our family. I searched for quite awhile, contacting several breeders in the area. The only reputable breeder who was breeding F1s within driving distance had taken a break from breeding. I needed to extend my search. Finally I came across a breeder(on the other side of the continent!) who had just bred an F1 litter. I knew once I saw little Mojo that I had to have him. At 6 weeks old Mojo was flown by airplane to the airport where we picked him up. Words can't explain the panic of having to fly such a small guy but everything went more than well.

It's been almost a year since we first got him.  He is the love of my life. Unlike a regular cat, Mojo loves to play with water, better yet he's obsessed with water. He enjoys spending time in the shower with me or helping me clean the dishes. He loves to play hide and seek, fetch, he even plays in the lake at our cottage! He's best buds with our Bengal, Amazon and he's helped him regain some confidence. 

He's got moxie we've never seen in other cats and hes passed it on to the other cats in our household. He runs around with his Zena call and gets all the other cats frisky and ready to play. He really is something special.
