Breeding bengals and raising kittens leaves very little spare time. Add to that a family with two busy, growing teens, and an organic blueberry farm in full swing from July through part of September, and you can imagine that the only time I have to sit down around here is when I am at the computer, answering emails, or like right now, taking a moment to write a quick post while I keep an eye on the stove as dinner is cooking. Yes, life is busy, but I'm certainly not complaining. In fact, I've never been happier in all my life. I recently left my 20+ year career as a corporate paralegal in order to focus completely on the kids and the bengals, so here I am - up to my eyeballs in kids and cats - and blueberries for the time being. As stated in a spot-on meme that I found the other day, "Self-employment simply means having the freedom to pick which 18 hours of the day you'd like to work." There are pros and cons. Being self-employed is one of the most enjoyable ways to exist and pay the bills - "Do what you love, and love what you do" - however it can also be very difficult to know when to clock out for the day or take a break. Since I am working for myself now, doing what I am very passionate about, I never really feel the need to clock out or take a break. Sometimes I find myself burning the candle at both ends - up early to feed the cats and clean before seeing the kids and husband off for the day - and up late into the night answering "just one last email", or "taking a minute" to quickly update the website with new photos from the photo shoot I was able to sneak in that day. The life of a breeder is definitely not a Monday through Friday sort of job. There are no such things as 'weekends' and there are no holidays without extreme planning and organization. It's a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day sort of thing. None of those hours are set in stone either. Sure, I sometimes feel burnt out, but then I stoop to pick up one of our adorable kittens and all of the tiredness floats away. This is what it's all about. Those little "mews", the pitter-patter of little feet chasing toys around on the floor, and the endless hours of entertainment they provide. You can hardly call it "work" - but when you realize that each kitten has attached to it an adoptive family, with millions of questions and concerns regarding their kitten, emails to answer, contracts to draft, hours of cleaning, feeding, socialization and training... it becomes obvious that this is, in fact, technically a job. But it's more fulfilling than anything I've ever done before. It's what I love, it's what I live for... I can't imagine my life without being surrounded by these beautiful creatures. My husband loves them as much as I do, and the kids have never known a life not being surrounded by animals. They often comment how strange it seems at some of their friends' houses where there are no pets. They say it seems so lonely and quiet... and CLEAN!!! Hahaha.... I love my kids. They are as crazy as I am - you can't live in this house without being a little crazy.

Every day I muse about the funny things that happen daily with these amazing animals at my side. My husband and I have begun to laugh as we recount the places we end up - all because of the cats. From 3am emergency vet waiting rooms with vending machine lattes in our hands, to random trips across the border for cat shows and flights clear across the country to meet cats coming to live with us from places like Spain or the Czech Republic... these are places we likely would otherwise have not found ourselves in, had it not been for our bengals. Just this past April, Sam and I looked at each other as we sat beside each other with our coffees in hand in front of Solo's show cage and said, "How the heck did we end up in a barn on some old fairgrounds in Enumclaw WA?"... seriously, would we have EVER ventured into this territory had it not been hosting a cat show that we needed to attend in order to title Solo? I don't think so. But there we found ourselves - along with our two (thrilled) WiFi-less teenagers. It was a quaint little town, with quiet streets, lined with trees, a local library, several churches. It was an interesting place to visit for sure, and we would never have gone, had we not had our bengals. We can't always be on the move of course, as there are times that our non-furry children need us around, or one of our queens is expecting a litter - oh, and there's that other thing called "work" that must be undertaken Monday to Friday in order to carry on with this crazy cat extravaganza! But I have to admit, it's a bit of a thrill to just pack up and take off for the next cat show or to pick up the next kitten for our breeding program when we are able to make it work. The cats give us an excuse to head off to places we've never been and meet people we wouldn't have otherwise met. There's definitely value added because of this - even if it's just the time we are forced to spend in the car together chatting and catching up on life. We'll be travelling down to Tacoma this month for the big NW Regional show where we will attend our first awards banquet with all of the other cat folk. I'm looking forward to meeting some of the best breeders in the region, along with the entertaining ring clerks, and amazingly tolerant and energetic cat judges. This cat breeding and showing business is a real "trip", that's for sure. Note ** I have, several times over, written out most of what follows in email responses to friends, clients, and fellow breeders, so I thought it would be best to take a few moments and put all of my thoughts and experience with this topic into an article to post on our website to easily share rather than repeating the same thing over and over, ad nauseam. It’s one of those topics that just comes so often that it deserves some dedicated space on our website.
Before I even get into any discussion at all regarding litter box training or re-training, it should be noted that bengals do NOT do well as single pets in homes. We have come to the realization after sending many single kittens home with clients, that bengals often react negatively to being without other animals when they leave our busy cattery full of friends and litter mates. Bengals are highly intelligent and social animals who require constant attention and play. Humans can meet many of a bengal’s needs, but not all. While bengals love their humans and love spending time with them playing fetch or cuddling in front of the TV, they especially thrive on “animal play” – chasing, wrestling, biting and grooming one another – things that a human can not replicate for them. We have had some success placing single bengals in homes where the owner is always home during the day and not away at work and where a cat wheel is provided to help deter boredom and burn off pent up energy that would otherwise be used in play with other animals. In our Questionnaire we specifically ask a question along these lines: “If you don’t already have an existing pet (cat or dog) at home, would you be willing to acquire one as a companion for your bengal to meet his socialization and play requirements?”. This is because we feel it is SO important to the successful integration of one of our kittens into your home. Issues such as that discussed in this article can be averted by providing the proper stimulation and socialization for your bengal. Ok let’s begin. Litter Training within our Cattery All of our kittens are 100% litter trained before leaving our cattery. They spend their first several weeks contained with mom in a kitten-friendly enclosure with access only to their food, toys, climbing apparatus and several litterboxes. They are successfully using their litterboxes by 3-4 weeks of age and have 99% of the time not even had one accident outside the litterbox. This is due to the confinement and from watching mom right from their nest box using the litterbox directly in front of them over and over again. Once our kittens are approximately 8 weeks old we begin to let them have supervised access to the main parts of our home – the living room, kitchen, and dining area. We have several litter boxes placed in these areas for the kittens to easily find. We will have strongly recommended that you have two litter boxes containing pine pellets (emptied and cleaned DAILY – bengals will not use a dirty litter box) on each level or separate area of your home – for use after the initial confinement period is over and you begin to allow your kitten supervised access to other parts of your home. The larger the home, the more litter boxes you need to set out. You can never have too many. We only have the kittens out when we are available to watch them directly the entire time they roam. When we go to bed, or have to leave the house to run errands, or are busy cooking dinner, helping the kids with homework, etc, the kittens are put back in their safe, secure kitten enclosure where there is no chance of them being injured or having a litter box accident. Our reasoning behind this procedure is that if the kitten is not put in a position where he may have an accident, he will not experience an accident. Once accidents are allowed to happen, the kitten loses confidence in his ability to find the litter boxes and a bad habit of urinating in different places begins to form. The kitten cannot be blamed for this. This is completely the human’s fault. When we send your kitten(s) home with you, we will have given you the strong recommendation to keep him safely confined in a small un-carpeted room with his food, toys and litter boxes for 1-2 weeks before supervised introduction to the rest of your home may begin. We refer to this as the kitten’s “safe room” and the “confinement period”. This is not cruel treatment… your kitten will feel safe and secure in his safe room, even if he objects at the beginning. Do not give in to his cries – just go in the room with him and play with him in there until he settles in. A move away from our cattery where your kitten has had familiar daily interaction with all of his litter mates and other animals in our home is VERY stressful for him. You are new people to him. Your home is completely new to him. Everything smells new and strange to him. Things are completely different. Everything is in a different place and he can’t find his usual places or friends. Unfamiliar little hands (if you have children) are reaching for him, grabbing him, picking him up when he wants to find a quiet place for a nap. Imagine how all of this must feel for a moment. Teach him that his safe room is always there for him when things get too busy for him around the house. Prevention of Litter Box Issues Stress Peeing We will send you home with your kitten’s regular food, dishes, toys he’s been playing with, litter he uses – even the same type of litter box. He will have a blanket with him that has the scent of our home and his litter mates on it. Your kitten MUST be placed in a confined, comfortable and safe place with these items for the transition period to help your kitten feel a little bit less stressed. Changes in food, litter, and bedding items will cause unnecessary stress. Stress will lead to peeing problems and can even create a condition called “stress cystitis” which causes inflammation of the bladder, blood in the urine and can lead to urinary tract infection. This all comes from STRESS. This condition WILL lead to peeing outside the litter box. Take your kitten to the vet immediately if you witness him squatting several times in a row to pee, but voiding very little, or nothing at all. If you see blood in the urine this is a sure sign of inflammation of the bladder, cystitis and/or bladder infection. Always take your kitten to the vet to rule out health problems that are causing the litter box issues. Products that can help immensely during the transition period to the kitten’s new home are Zylkene and a Feliway diffuser. Zylkene is a milk protein based supplement that calms and soothes stress felt by your kitten. This product can be purchased online or from your vet. It must be used daily for a period of time to begin taking effect: https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=zyklene Make sure you give your kitten the correct dose for his weight. Feliway diffusers can be purchased from your vet or online as well: https://www.amazon.ca/Comfort-Zone-100512641-Feliway-Diffuser/dp/B00I9SI40S/ref=sr_1_1?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1496866082&sr=1-1&keywords=feliway They will give off pheromones into the environment that act to sooth and calm the kitten. Trigger Items Nine times out of ten when we hear back from a client that their kitten is “peeing on everything” it can be traced back to the fact that one (or all!) of the instructions listed in the previous sections has not been followed. Once we rule out a lack of consistent confinement combined with gradual, supervised introduction in order to avoid stress, for instance, we can move on to looking at what items in your home are acting as “triggers” for your bengal to pee outside the litter box. You will find that owning a bengal will quickly turn you into a very fastidious house keeper, if you were not one already. A messy, unkempt house is like a giant litter box to a bengal. Keep your home tidy, items picked up off the floor, bags, drawers, lids and doors closed, and you will not experience what we call “offsite peeing”. You are ASKING for your bengal to pee inappropriately if you allow him instant access to a large, unfamiliar home, with unfamiliar smells and items present – all are begging for him to pee on them. Leaving your bengal to roam free in a MESSY home is just like putting icing on the cake for him. You will never have been so tidy as you will learn to be once you own a bengal or two! Trigger items for a bengal kitten include (but are certainly not limited to!) the following:
Litter Box Re-Training “I have done everything you advised, and my kitten has begun peeing inappropriately around the house anyway!!” If you have REALLY done all of the things mentioned thus far during the introduction of your new kitten and diligently kept your kitten confined for the entire transition period, including having him vet checked for UTI, putting him away in his safe room at night and every time you leave home (I recommend this right up until he is an adult) and he is STILL not complying 100% with the litterbox, then there are some other things that need to be looked at or done. Re-training Confinement. Retraining your kitten once you’ve allowed him to have accidents around the house requires dedication and commitment. You need to act diligently and QUICKLY. Immediately confine the kitten to the safe room for the “re-training” period – which will last about two weeks. ONLY let him out of the room when you have him on a lead with his harness so that you are aware of his every move. Don’t let him out of your sight even for a second. Accidents turn into habits quickly, so do not let accidents happen. During this period, the kitten will only be with you or in his safe room. No unsupervised time is spent roaming the house WHATSOEVER – this is what likely led to the accidents in the first place. Positive reinforcement. While exploring the house safely with you keeping close watch, pick your kitten up and put him repeatedly and gently in all the litter boxes you have around the house talking to him and petting him the entire time. This is positive reinforcement of acceptable locations for urination. Make the litter boxes places where he receives praise. Give him a treat while he’s in there – do whatever it takes to create happy and positive associations with the litter box. If he happens to use the litter box while you are doing this – praise him immensely!!!! Bengals thrive on praise. NEVER, EVER, use negative techniques in response to peeing accidents - such as yelling, spraying with water, hitting, etc. You will create a fearful and aggressive cat if you do this. I guarantee you. Bengals are far too intelligent to be treated with this kind of disrespect. There is ALWAYS a reason they are peeing outside the litter box and it is up to us to find out what we are doing or not doing to allow it to happen. Instead of getting angry, pick the kitten up, place him in the litter box and say “good boy, this is where you need to go”. Take him away from the accident, and put him where you want him instead in a kind way with positive body language. Obviously the idea is that no accidents will happen while you are in this retraining process but in the unlikely event that you look away or don’t supervise diligently, remember to only use positive reinforcement. Detection and Cleaning. Once you have your kitten back in confinement for re-training you will need to clean each and every spot or item that your kitten has peed on. We recommend using a “black light” in order to locate the areas the kitten has peed on. Here is a helpful video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRTIDH74esc Here is where you can purchase a black light like the one used in the video: https://www.amazon.com/Pet-Urine-Detector-365NM-Black-Light-Flashlight-Precision-UV-LED-Pee-Finder-Tool-Locate-Cat-Animal/dp/B00E9T92L6 Once you have located the spots that need to be cleaned you will need to use a very effective enzyme removal product. Regular cleaning supplies will not work. In fact, anything with bleach will attract the kitten to the spot to pee on it again. There are many enzyme removal products to choose from: https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_5_14?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=enzyme+cleaner+urine&sprefix=enzyme+cleaner%2Caps%2C201&crid=3HUE0824VPY0I Our favourite is “Icky Poo”… it works like NONE OTHER and is well worth the money: https://www.amazon.ca/MisterMax-Anti-Icky-Odor-remover/dp/B008A6XXB4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1496864147&sr=8-1&keywords=icky+poo BOTTOM LINE - If you don’t clean absolutely everything that you allowed your bengal to pee on, he WILL find it and pee on it again when you are not watching him. Please do not skip this critical step. Other useful tips and last minute thoughts:
In closing, I have decided that this article will be a work in progress. This is an ever-evolving topic and I am forever coming across new proven techniques and advice, either through direct experience, or via communication with kitten clients past and present. I will update accordingly and repost when I feel there is some substantial insight added. If you come across proven techniques in your daily interaction with your own bengals, please feel free to share these insights with us as well. We will add them here to help others. As bengal owners and lovers, we can only benefit from working together in an effort to help each other enjoy every moment with these intelligent animals we have been blessed with. ~ Carmen Klassen, Jewelspride Bengals This article was written by Carmen Klassen and as such is the sole property of Jewelspride Bengals.

It is important to remember, however, that this is not the time to grab a shower and head to bed to catch up on your lost sleep, or speed off to work for the day leaving your queen unattended. Before you consider your part of the job to be over, and pat yourself on the back for assisting your queen in a seemingly uneventful delivery, there are things to watch for and assess with regard to your queen’s continued health and comfort. It is important to note that complications may arise anywhere from immediately following birth, to hours or even days later. This is why ongoing post-partum care of your queen is so important. In this article, I am going to discuss a serious postpartum complication called “Postpartum Metritis”. What is Postpartum Metritis and what are its causes? Postpartum metritis is an inflammation of the lining of the uterus (endometrium) postpartum which causes systemic illness. Postpartum metritis is usually the result of a bacterial infection caused by retained placentas or fetuses, contamination of the birth canal during delivery (from unsterile hands or instruments), prolonged labour, or unsanitary conditions during delivery. Because septicemia (bacterial infection of the blood) or toxemia (blood poisoning by toxins from a local bacterial infection) can occur if this condition is left untreated, it is critical to keep an eye on your queen’s temperature post delivery to spot any potential problems early. Other causes of postpartum metritis may include a long, difficult delivery, dystocia (ill positioned fetus often accompanied by a failure of the uterus and cervix to contract and expand normally), or previous miscarriage or abortion. What symptoms should I look for? The queen will appear very ill soon after delivery - she will have a distinct lack of energy, be disinterested in her kittens and food, and may also vomit. In addition, she will have unpleasant smelling vaginal discharge and present with a fever. A heavy, thick, bloody discharge typically appears two to seven days post delivery, and is accompanied by fever, excessive thirst, and vomiting. Palpation of the abdomen will be painful for the queen and her uterus will feel thickened. Her rectal temperature will reach between 103 degrees Fahrenheit to 105 degrees Fahrenheit (39.4 C to 40.5 C). Watch for signs in the kittens as well. Toxic waste may be absorbed into the queen’s bloodstream resulting in secondary toxemia in the kittens. The kittens will show signs of weakness, lack of appetite and weight loss and could die within a day or so. How will my vet diagnose and treat my queen? Your vet will diagnose postpartum metritis in your queen by performing a thorough physical exam. This will include a blood profile, complete blood count, electrolyte panel, and a urinalysis to determine whether the infection is still localized or has spread. X-rays and ultrasound will assist your vet in checking the inside of the queen’s uterus for any retained fetuses or remaining placental matter, accumulation of excess fluid, and uterine tears or rupture. Your vet will likely take a sample of the queen’s vaginal discharge for analysis in order to determine which type of bacteria is at the root of the infection and which antibiotics will be most useful to fight it. A queen that has been diagnosed with metritis will likely be dehydrated and will require IV therapy in order to replace the fluids and restore any electrolyte imbalances caused by the infection. IV fluids will help stabilize her while you and your vet await lab results. If the infection has turned into sepsis, your vet will also want to treat your queen for shock. There is no need to wait for the lab results on the vaginal discharge to begin treatment - broad-spectrum antibiotics (amoxycillin-clavulanic acid) may be started immediately to treat the queen and then be switched to an antibiotic therapy based on culture and sensitivity testing of the vulvar discharge. Prostaglandin therapy for 2–3 days or oxytocin may help evacuate the uterine contents. This is only advisable in queens under six years of age, in good health, and when no retained fetal material is confirmed by ultrasound. Ovariohysterectomy (spay) is ultimately recommended if your queen is extremely ill or if future reproduction is not important to you. Otherwise, this is an elective procedure which can be performed once the queen is no longer lactating. While the queen receives treatment, you should raise her kittens by hand to avoid transmitting the infection or antibiotics via the queen’s milk. What is the prognosis for my breeding queen after diagnosis and treatment for postpartum metritis? With early detection and intervention a favourable prognosis for your queen is likely, depending on factors such as her response to antibiotics and prostaglandin therapy, the return of her appetite and maternal behaviour, and the lack of fever. The prognosis is not so favourable if your queen has become septic, developed peritonitis (inflammation of the peritoneum), fetal or placental retention, concurrent disease affecting the immune system, or concurrent mastitis. What can I do to prevent postpartum metritis from happening in the future? While you obviously do not have control over many of the incidents leading up to a case of metritis in one of your breeding queens, there are certainly some things you can do to help prevent it or at least detect it early for treatment. For instance, keep your kittening quarters and tools meticulously clean, carefully count placentas after the delivery of each kitten, watch your queen’s behaviour very carefully during the entire delivery as well as in the hours and days following delivery, and keep a detailed record of her temperature readings as well as the kittens’ development and growth. The most important thing to remember as a breeder is that the apparent successful delivery of your queen’s kittens is not a guarantee that everything went well for your queen and that she’s not in danger of developing a serious postpartum complication like metritis in the hours and days following delivery.

In addition to working full time, and running the cattery, we also have a small organic blueberry farm that, during the summer months, keeps us busy for all the hours before and after our day jobs. We have a lot of help, but the days are very long, and tiring.
That said, "life" goes on in the cattery and we are going to be welcoming two new litters at the end of June and beginning of July. Our Coco and Topaz litter is due the week of June 20th and our Phoenix and Dia litter is due in the second week of July... We are taking reservations for these litters at the moment, however the wait list is full for Dia's litter until we know how many kittens she has. On June 28 we are travelling to Montreal to meet our new girl, Noa Island Nala from Spain! We'll update more once we have her home and settled in... It's literally pouring kittens this month... on January 11, we welcomed our first ever SNOW litter out of Majestic Pride Cameo and Wildrose Bengals Coco. In a few days Topaz and Phoenix will be having their very first litter together, and then later in the month Athena is having her second litter - with Coco as the proud papa. We are currently taking applications for kittens from each of these litters.
We are happy to announce the impending arrival of kittens out of Majestic Pride Pharrah and Lynxland Maverick of Jewelspride - due any day now! I will update with photos of the new babies once they arrive... stay tuned!
These are not the best pictures...I just took them with my phone quickly as I haven't had time to get out the proper camera and spend some time.
Introducing Coco and Chanel - our new breeding pair for 2015! Coco is a gorgeous solid seal mink boy from Wildrose Bengals in Edmonton AB and Chanel is a stunning brown spotted girl from Majestic Pride Bengals in Vernon BC. Thank you so much Jessika and Pamela for these gorgeous babies! I'm so excited to add these two new babies to my program. Coco, when paired with our other girl Pharrah, will produce brown spotted, seal mink and seal linx point babies. Next year is going to be a rainbow year here at Jewelspride! Here we are on our last couple of days in Cancun. I've been missing the cats like crazy, but having so much fun here with the family. Looking forward to the cat show this coming weekend with Phoenix and Pharrah. Not sure how either of them will behave at the show as I haven't had a chance to work with them at all before this one. This is Pharrah's first show anyway and she'll still be competing in the kitten category, so this one will just be to feel her out and see how she likes to show. Nothing big expected. Same for Phoenix. I already know he doesn't love showing, but I'm just trying to give him a second chance and try it out in the "cat" category now that he's 8 months. We're home on Monday and the show isn't until Saturday so I'll work with them both as much as I can all week and pray for the best come Saturday! You never know if you don't try, right?? |
