Yo, cat lovers of The Mayberry... Why didn't you warn me about Bengal kittens?

For those of you who haven't seen my Bengal Tortoise kittens before, let me introduce Merl and Buster. They were super cute those first few weeks.





They evolved into furry hellbeasts who have chewed all my wires, destroyed my furniture, shredded all my toilet paper and wake me up in the middle of the night by clawing my eyelids.

I was talking about this with a girl at work. She raised an eyebrow and asked me if they were Bengals. I asked how she knew and she laughed, suggesting I do some research on the internet.

Most videos are titled WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE GETTING BENGALS.

@lsa , you have some explaining to do. I know for a fact I showed you these kittens and you said NOTHING.

Their newest trick is to jump up on my bathroom sink, pull open the medicine cabinet, pull out all the contents and scatter them across my apartment. I wouldn't have thought it possible because the cabinet sticks but if I leave the bathroom door open it isn't just possible it's certain to happen.

Now they're figuring out how to open any drawer they can reach, which is basically all my drawers.

They're also figuring out what they aren't allowed to do, not that it stops them. It just means if I walk into a room and they're doing those things, they immediately book it, usually right past me clawing my bare feet to ribbons as they run me over.

Super friendly with tons of energy and they love to play.

It's said they have three times the energy of a regular cat and while mine are mutts it definitely seems true.
 
While I was typing this, I had forgotten to close my bathroom door.

One roll of toilet paper, a hundred Q tips and a toothbrush are the price of forgetting.
 
They're a year and four months old. Feels like they'll end up huge.

 
I bet nobody also told you they will bury dead rodents in your b-hole, when you're sleeping, as a way to show their appreciation for you.

I don't have a lifestyle that allows for the responsibility that comes with a dog.

I've had family member that had dogs and didn't give them the proper care, that's never going to be me.

It's a sore point with me.

I had an uncle whose family had THREE dogs that ended up feral in his garage before being put down because he didn't take care of them. I was only a kid at the time but I knew how tragically wrong that was.
 
I had a cat once but I rolled over it in bed during one of my drink and drug binges and it does basically My worst binge was about 4-5 months ago. I got arrested in November for possession which got eventually dismissed thank god but I fell into a deep depression while everything played out. I have a pretty wealthy family and I'm pretty well off myself so money was never an issue when it came to drugs. Where I live it's on the water in predominantly white hoity toity area so the drugs are stepped on and pretty shitty. Well when I was growing up I lived with my mom til I was 14 and she was a drug addict and we lived in impoverished areas of Houston that were mostly black and mexican areas so most of my friends were black or mexican....long story short I stayed in contact with a few of them and always had my "hood pass" as they called it which meant I was always welcome in the bad parts of town and @Uncle Bruce can attest that there are some really shady areas of Houston.

Well I'll call him Big C....he was apart of a gang in Houston called "Houstone" that had Cartel connections and a very violent reputation but we were always friendly, we'd goto Rockets games and shit and hang out and it'd be cool. Well Big C also was a big supplier of Cocaine on the SE side of Houston....he got the best shit you could get in the city no bullshit before he processed it down to sell it. He usually used the pure stuff to cook it and the rest to cut down to sell it, well since we were boys he'd sell me the shit right off the brick (kilo) and it was the rawest shit I had ever had....well with me being depressed and jobless at the time and fighting a case and having nothing but time I spent basically all my time alone in my condo doing blow, playing video games, fucking around online, going out at night and getting drunk at night, and then using my xanax prescription to come down at night. Eventually I built up a tolerance to the xanax so I had to take more for it to be effective....

In a way it seemed like I was trying to kill myself, I was mixing a shit ton of cocaine...I was going through a "7" every 2 days 7 grams aka 2 eight balls on top of alcohol and xanax. Alot of people fuck with me about my PTSD or whatever but I am service connected disabled for PTSD and TBI throught the Army as well as the VA from my time in Iraq and Afghanistan. They just don't give you 100% ratings without documented evidence of you being fucked up. I try to make the most of life, but that was the scariest time of my life, but with the support of my family and friends and getting into support groups and getting sober it's really helped me see the light and I'm back on track and sober and happy with no cravings or inkling to ever want to touch the shit again....sorry for the long post lol I'm bored and can't sleep.
