Meet Cayenne
She is an F5 Bengal kitten.
Her favorite sleeping spot is my husbands lap.
He wasn't too keen on getting a kitten but I think she's won him over.
If laps aren't available, feet will do.
Edit: for anyone confused about what F5 means, an F1 is 50% ALC.
F2= (50% + 0%)/2 = 25% ALC
F3= (25% +0%)/2 = 12.5% ALC
F4= (12.5%+0%)/2= 6.25% ALC
F5= (6.25%+0%)/2= 3.125% ALC
ALC=Asian Leopard Cat or Founder (F)

When they stand on your foot that's them saying I'm yours and you are mine.
Piornet
Dear god she's absolutely beautiful
Wildmare
Aww thanks!

All these women posting about husbands not wanting cats and I'm sitting here meeting women who only want dogs. Why is life so cruel?

It only works for a year... two if you are lucky.

Can a grown man make sounds that will hurt his pride? Not when its about this wittle itsy bitsy kitty.
RyanMcFlyin
nice- my wife started giving me the 'i want a baby' eyes... so I said, 'but who wants a kitty?? YOU DO!!' - totally. worked.

Have kids when you want, or don't have them at all. It's completely up to you and your SO.
KawaiiInari
And as someone who waited 6 years after marriage to have a kid, I understand your pain. As soon as we had our baby, we were asked "So when/
KawaiiInari
will you have more?" It never stops!

Though the hinting has yet to stop, my parents have resigned themselves to calling my cats their grandchildren.
lurkbgone
They're always cute when they're a Bengal kitten, when they're a Bengal tiger however...
spacecatts
My mom calls my cat her grandchild. I'm 32. Sigh.

Is grand kitten a type of cat or does it hold a major political office in the feline world?
slapmethrice
Neither. It's a pedigree kitten that costs a grand.
GuyNamedSean
How much wild trait is left in an F5? I've seen F3s and a few F4s but never really F5s.
Wildmare
an F1 is 50% ALC. F2 = (50% + 0%)/2 = 25% ALC F3= (25% +0%)/2 = 12.5% ALC F4=(25% +0%)/2 = 6.25% ALC F5=(6.5%+0%)/2= 3.125% ALC
Wildmare
ALC being Asian Leopard Cat
GuyNamedSean
I didn't mean what percent of its genetics, but its behaviour.
Wildmare
Absolutely nuts. She will chase anything that moves, plays in water, and follows us around like a dog. She also climbs and loves jumping.
usernamesarepoop
F5 like a tornado?
OutOfBort
Yeah, it's a very refreshing cat.
youwould
F5 just means a 5th generation bengal cat/asian leopard cat. F1 being the original two wild cats.
thegelatoking
I like F5 hurricane force destruction better
Syppi
Yeah, trying to sort the F5 comment myself..?
Wildmare
5 generations down from the Founder. It confused me too but in some states she would be illegal to own if she had a higher % wildcat blood.
Wildmare
F5 is a breeding note about how many generations she is from the Asian Leopard Cat that started her lineage. She's 5 steps down from wild.

My name is Cayenne... I've never met or heard of anyone else with my name before. +1 for causing minimal existential crisis
IamJustGoingToSayExactlyWhatiAmThinking
I know a girl named Cheyenne soooo that's almost sorta close.

*loss of uniqueness intensifies*
TisNagim
out of curiosity, is it pronounced like cayenne peppers?
UnsolicitedInsults
Yep! Also apparently there's a Porsche Cayenne
