With a Little Help from my Friends....

I am slowly figuring this out - like i say with a LOT of help from my friend! (thanks Kathy!)

Thought I'd share some pics of my tiger Riley - he's 2 1/2 years old - and a Bengal - they call Bengals "living room leopards" and he has some leopard spots but i find he more looks more "tiger-like" - He answers to "hey tiger" when you call him. He's a very active cat and he demands attention and will let you know at TOP LUNG when he wants something like food, or when he's on his way to his ltter box, or just wants you to stop what you are doing and pay him attention. He is not a lap cat until he's tired - then he can't get close enough! We have found Riley in some really interesting places throughout the house (like atop my quilt rack about 10" from the ceiling!) but thought I'd show you some of the pics of some damange he did - We have a finished off basement that we call the "bunker" because my husband hangs out down there - he has his big screen tv, his DVD recordors, his CD burners, his 3000 plus record albums, his 1000 plus collection of CD's and of course his posters, magazines, and everything else that goes along with his love of music. In this "bunker" there is one of those overhanging ceilings - Riley gets up there from the unfinished side of the basement and trots around - It's unnerving when you don't know he's up there and hear him overhead. Well this summer my husband heard something and went running down there - and he found a tiger hanging out of the ceiling - he broke thru one of the tiles! Too funny - but what does he do - runs right back up there and inspects the damage! These pics are from this summer but yesterday my husband was home from work and he emails me at work and says Riley broke thru the ceiling again! I'm telling you - he keeps us on our toes for sure!

Here's the pics - a couple of him in the living room atop the quilt rack (he got up there by a chair, a tv - and a long jump straight up! Everything that was up there gets pushed on the floor! For about 3 months we stuffed pillows up there to keep him down but of course the pillows we would find on the floor - how he did it - who knows! The boy has no fear!) And the rest are of him after he broke thru the ceiling!
