Kansas City, Missouri - Close To Worlds of Fun

Here is Bamboo Geisha Girl of Raganwood at 5 months of age. Geisha is a F1, meaning she is the first generation of the cross of an Asian Leopard Cat with a SBT Bengal queen. She looks very much like her sire, Asian Leopard Cat Maximus of Bamboo. Geisha has the ocelli eyes on the back of her ears, the white facial markings that flow down her chin and stomach, and beautiful, large rosetted spots. Geisha is not one bit timid, never hides from visitors, and is very friendly and loving. This mermaid doll is Geisha's favorite toy. There are additional pictures of Geisha under Queens.

I live in Kansas City, Missouri and have been a Bengal Cat breeder for about 12 years. I'm retired now so I get to love and take care of my Bengal kittens full time.

This is a photo of a painting of an Asian Leopard Cat, White Lightning and Madonna. Painted by Janet Kuemmerlein, 816-842-7049.

Bengals are so very good with people of all ages, the very young and the not so young. Surprisingly, some of them like water and will get in the shower or tub with you, and most of them like dogs of all sizes.

Bengal Cats are so smart and you can teach them a lot of tricks and some of them really like to go walking on leash and go riding in the car. They just like to be with you wherever you are.

This is Picasso, a Silver Sepia Spotted male, out of Silverada and Bodacious.

Picasso, Giuseppe and Gemma are all out of Bodacious.

Picasso is Marlo Hoyt's big love and he gets to visit his half brother and sister on the days Marlo works. His half brother is Giuseppe, a Brown Spotted male, and his half sister is Gemma, a Seal Mink Spotted female. These two are the loves of Toni and John Hoyt, Marlo's parents.

Most of my Bengal kittens are glittered. Glitter means they have shiny gold or silver hairs in their coats and when the light hits their coats they glitter. But more importantly, when they have a lot of glitter they shed very little hair. I have Bengal kittens in the basic colors; i.e., browns, snows, and silvers with spotted and marbled patterns. There is a big variety in the colors of the spots and backgrounds.

Quite often people with allergies can have a glittered Bengal in their home and not have to suffer with their allergies. Raising Bengals is a lot of fun and it gives me an opportunity to meet people, some of whom have become good friends.

This picture shows two 10x10 outdoor pens that my friend Palmer has built for me, one for the Studs and the other for the Queens.

The Studs have a 10' X 8' pen in the basement and they can go through a tunnel and pet door to their outside 10' X 10' pen. The Queens have all the basement and garage to run and they can go through a pet door to their outside 10' X 10' pen. My cats are so spoiled.
