Rodney is 7 months old and his adult teeth are coming through. Can anyone suggest something he can safely chew on? Thank you.

No advice but just wanted to say love 'Rodney'! 😄

Toddlerteaplease · 27/10/2021 10:09

Rodney. GrinGrinGrin please tell me you have another cat called Del Boy.
Ps. Are you sure he's only a half Bengal?!

Fluffycloudland77 · 27/10/2021 12:03

Your hands and ankles? That’s what mine used.

TC176 · 27/10/2021 12:59

Thanks everyone, he is gorgeous isn’t he. Unfortunately no Del Boy, I don’t think Rodney would tolerate another cat. We’re his fifth, and final, home. Was very bitey and scratchy when he first arrived, but has mostly learned that fingers and toes aren’t toys. I don’t wear flip flops round the house now though. We’ve had him for 2 weeks and he’s settled in so well, we love him to bits. The rescue said he was a half Bengal - I’m not sure we could cope with a full pedigree!

My half bengal likes to chew on an over door mouse toy
Saves my fingers

MyTwoBengals · 27/10/2021 13:06

One of my Bengals likes to chew cables, especially soft Apple ones. 😫
She also likes to rip up cardboard boxes with her teeth.

Gorgeous Rodney !!

My half Bengal half Siamese loves these cuddly fish, he plays with them, chews them, cuddles them, carries them round!

It’s a chew toy as well as a bed

Rodney is very Bengalish, isn’t he! Beautiful.

I have a half too but mine is basically just an enormous tabby (though with spotty orange tum).
He’s 6 now and doesn’t really chew but has always loved killing some small fluffy rat/bird toys from B&M - he digs them out of the toy basket and scatters them around when he’s in the mood.
You can top up with catnip spray once it wears off.

My neighbour's half-bengal likes to chew on my cats Hmm

How is Rodney with ping pong balls?

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 27/10/2021 13:22

Mine likes loo rolls, mainly 😂

yma123 · 27/10/2021 13:31

My two boys are full bengals and we've bought them hundreds of toys, but as someone else mentioned their absolute favourite thing to chew on has been an old cardboard box, they absolutely love it Grin

Thanks for your responses. I’ve ordered the set of catnip fish and the Donkey Kong caterpillar. Rodney’s a bit ‘meh’ at ping pong balls now. He loves his rechargeable flappy fish and wobbly ball. He wasn’t impressed with the water fountain or cardboard box, but we’ll try him with the box again. He’s had a go at the Apple cables but lost interest now. Not discovered the joy of loo rolls yet, but he will drink out of the toilet if we forget to put the lid down 🤢

No advice I'm afraid but he's utterly gorgeous! Well done for adopting him 🐾

LemonSwan · 29/10/2021 13:06

Play Hide and seek! My half bengal boys favourite game.

Catch his eye then duck behind something and stay hidden. They will come running in for a kiss. Then move and move again round the room.

Then when they are all exercised out; drop any old thing - rolled up socks etc. into the bunny kick kill zone.

Instant death for said item Grin

Thanks again to everyone for great advice, and compliments on how gorgeous Rodney is. Here’s another photo, taken before he fell headfirst into the loo. Only his pride got hurt and I didn’t let him see me laugh.

He’s a very handsome boy, he’ll get into lots of scrapes to keep you entertained “ what are you doing up there? No don’t jump you’ll break something you idiot! I’m getting the steps!”

Caught mine drinking out the loo too 🤮 I put a water bowl upstairs after that.

soddingkitten · 30/10/2021 18:55

Sodding kitten is a toilet water fan too. 🤢 I found muddy cat prints recently on the loo seat, in the toilet bowl and in the shower pan too (he likes drinking the shower puddles too). It’s disgusting.

I love the photo of Rodney desperately squeezing into that tiny basket. 😂 What is it about cats and boxes?

southchinasea · 30/10/2021 19:24

He's so beautiful!

BookWorm45 · 30/10/2021 19:31

Rodney is gorgeous(I have one who looks like his twin brother!) Have you tried a dog chew, the smaller size, he might enjoy chewing on that for a change?

TC176 · 31/10/2021 14:38

@BookWorm45
I wondered about getting one of the small cowhide chews, is that the sort you mean?

Thanks again everyone for your lovely responses.
