He's hypoallergenic apparently. I've had him around people with cat allergies and they show no symptoms. It's really cool. haha.

He/she is a gorgeous feline. So adorable. But so are tigers till they get big and rip your throat out. I'm not saying he would just saying for some of the larger exotic pets.

I believe it. They have hypoallergenic dogs like my parents bichon frise. And the teddy bear (shit Tzu and bichon mixed)

Apparently it takes 2-3 years for him to fully grow into himself. He's already huge and he's only a couple of month's old. It makes me wonder how big he's going to get. haha.
My parents are talking about getting him declawed and I'm fighting with them to change their minds.

Yeah, we lost one of our cats a few months ago. She had to be put down because she was so sick. It was the hardest thing to see her go.
After that we waited a while and then decided to get the bengal we have now. It was a total surprise for me, they said they were getting me another cat, but I didn't know it would be a bengal. haha
I really don't want him to be declawed. He's getting better, he's learning to not scratch when playing, but he still destroys furniture when he jumps up on them. That's why they want him declawed.

Yea I understand but they are gonna have to replace that furniture eventually. Lol. Yea I hear ya I've lost alot pets. Most of them ran away or eaten by the local wildlife. My favorites always had to be put down. Its always the hardest thing to do. My 2 favorite pets my cat and iguana died within weeks of each other I was like 11yrs old, real shitty.

TopPmz said: Sugar gliders are cool, and they're legal here
Are you talking about the Australian species or something different? I'm from Australia, and i didn't know there was sugar gliders native to other countries. If there isn't i didn't think it would be legal to own them. (unless you're referring to the flying squirrel which is very similar.).
EDIT: By the way, i've always been quite fond of red foxes, despite their poor reputation in my country, and I would love to own a sibfox. For those that don't know, sibfox is an company that has been breeding foxes for over 50 years for a number of reasons, one reason was for a scientific experiment in relation to domestication, which is particularly interesting to me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domesticated_silver_fox

It's wild seeing him climb up the cat towers we have for him. He can literally climb up an 8 foot cat tower thing like a human does rock climbing.
That's why I don't want him to be declawed. He won't be able to utilize his wild personality. haha

I would LOVE an octopus or a cuddlsfish, or just any cephalopod.
Owls would be awesome too, I spend quite a bit of time volunteering at the raptor center. So I get to spend a lot of time handling owls and other raptors. Fucking beautiful creatures.

Bengal cats only get between 14-20lbs. Slightly bigger than a house cat, smaller than a bobcat. Dont think its ripping anyones throat out. My bengal is a killing machine! Mice, birds, snakes, squirrles, rabbits and the frogs from my pond. Mine destroyed my furniture and the carpet in my sons doorway.. pissed my gf off so bad he became indoor/outdoor. He loves it outside climbing trees and doing all that killing.

I want to make a fenced in place for him outside so he can be out in the open.
He obviously wants to go outside but I'm just scared of him running away. I don't know what I would do.

I used to worry at first but then i noticed hes either in the yard or across the street in the horse field. I didnt pay money for him but if i did it would be an enclosure. ive seen some cool pens on youtube, with small goldfish ponds and small trees or wood to climb. I want to build platforms near the ceiling for him to hang out on.

Agreed a huge fish tank filled with them and some other deep ocean species.
WHAT!!! You lucky bastard I wish we had something like that here or even a reptile house or something!

Agreed. I think he would be depressed without his claws.

Lol I didn't really mean that seriously. About the ripping out someone's throat. Maybe a mouse or bird lol. lol that's awesome at least you don't gotta worry about pests in your yard.

I agree I wouldn't be able to let something like that outside if I paid that much for him. Especially since I've had a cat of mine eaten by coyotes.

Lol yeah he chewed up a squirrels face... found it in the yard. No i only see dead animals lol! There's coyotes up here, ive only seen one in 4 years but its still a concern. funny thing is there used to be like 5 cats on the street and now its just him and 2 others that live across the street. I think he ran them off id hear loud fighting lol. its like a nature show outside. My cat attacked a bird and had it then other birdd started dive bombing my cat and he let it go and ran off. Ive never seen anything like it.

Yeah but it's in his nature to want to be outside. Like I can tell he would love being able to run around the long grass and stuff like he would in the wild.
I'm really going to try to make something for him so he can go outside but not get away. It's not even about loosing the money, I just don't want him to get hurt. He's crazy affectionate. It's like he understands you almost. Very smart.

Check out some YouTube vids of other peoples enclosures to get ideas. Some have enclosed walkways from inside to outside. Mine follows my car home when i turn onto my street to be the first to greet me.

Yeah my next investment is either a reticulated python or an albino burmese. I usually don't care for albinos but I think it looks good on the burmese. I was going to breed my hypo het for albino boas this year and sell the babies to invest in them I decided to let my female bulk up a bit more before I breed her. They are pretty big now but they definitely have room to grow. They are eating extra large rats or small rabbits now. I love reptiles. There is just something about them. We have a couple cats too. My wife and I would both love to have a serval. A few years back I was serving time and was on the road crew. We got to work the county fair and one of the booths their brought all kinds of different exotic animals. They had a serval they let me play with. What an amazing cat. So powerful.
