She's 9.5lbs and 4 years old. Seems the same as any other cat I've owned. I know you're just "Alky gonna Alky" here anyhow.

Unless you're being completely retarded and thinking Bengal = Savannah and then, you're confirmed idiot. Since a Bengal is basically an orange tabby.

Small bengal.

A Bengal needs a high quality diet and are more active than normal cats usually.

A bengal is nothing really like an orange tabby. Do you have a real bengal or a domestic short hair with a bengal pattern?

You forget you are dealing with a zoologist and also someone with a huge background in cat charities and causes.

This is a Bengal that was loose I captured:

I have a real Bengal with papers from the breeder. Marbled pattern.

It's just like any other cat.

You may believe that, but the experts on Bengals would highly disagree.

Also do you even know how many generations removed your's was.

Get the Beamer. If you're the kind of person that seeks designer cats instead of going to a shelter and picking out a couple cats that need homes you probably shouldn't have animals.

Get two house cats, sell the BMW, and get something cool to drive.

A 335i/335is are pretty cool cars.

They are much better street cars than an M3 and faster in a straight line with just some light tuning.

My next car will probably be the 335is or a 435 depending on when I am ready to sell my current car. It just turned 2 years old and 36k on the clock so still young.

There are Bengal rescues the Bengal "Cinderella" above escaped from Spots and Stripes which is on Facebook.

Actually almost all purebreeds have rescues (some are undercover breeders however).

Most of this thread I was thinking what kind of fucking moron would want Bengal Tigers? Then I realized I was the fucking moron for thinking Tigers.

Is the op an alky alt account? Seems strange that two topics that alky is an "expert" on (cats and m3s) would be involved in one thread.

You can tune them to turn great mileage and be in the 12's at over 110mph.

They have great low end grunt too which is most of what city driving is.

Being in the auto detailing business, I have driven many sick cars, I just don't consider a 335i one of them.

I wanted to get york puppies but they have too much energy for me and I like how cats are more loyal. I'm not really a cat person though I find them too serious/moody. Dogs are too energetic and loving. Bengals are a good mix plus they came from Asian leopard cats :biggrin:, I like their animistic side and dominant attitude. I come from birds and chickens. Also peacocks and other giant things in Arabia.

And meh to the car comments, if PC gaming were better particularly FPS games I wouldn't need a car. Perfectly happy being a hermit. And yeah luxury wise it's nothing fancy. But that doesn't really happen till you get into $60-80k benz or lexus. But it's a better driving car than anything above it till $100k. Other than Porsche, but not really my type of car. But panties do drop when they hear BMW. I swear it's pretty funny and sad.

Yeah and plus you live on orange county, I'm sure you see plenty of nicer cars on the daily :p My boss has an older NSX I'm trying to get him to trade me, he is in late 60s but he won't fall for it.

I'm in North Jersey and it seems like 90% of the cars are either Benz's or BMW's (which is not normal around the rest of the country apparently), but a 335i is at least 'very nice.' Its like 45 grand... a nicer car than most people on these boards will EVER own. Probably nicer than anything I'll ever own new.

But I guess if your minimum price is 100k its lame :rolleyes:
