ZawieCo Bengal Cats
Hand Raised Little Loveables
Pictures and notes from some of
our happy kitty owners
Hi Lori. She is so adorable.
She follows me everywhere and at night she loves to crawl under the comforter and sleep next to me. Your advice about keeping her in one room and staying with her was spot on. I moved into the guest room with her and she became my best buddy. I can’t believe how much I love her. She has so much personality and everyone falls in love with her. Thank you so much for raising such a sweetheart. I tell my kids that I couldn’t love her any more than if I had given birth to her. She is having fun with the dogs. She is constantly teasing them but they put up with it. She loves to play with their bushy tails.
Thanks again, I really love her so much. And her name is Sassy because she is such a sassy little girl. She is definitely in charge in this house.

Oh my gosh as if a cat couldn’t continue to get even more and more sweet and become more and more of a beautiful addition to our home.
The kids and I are absolutely in love with this sweet little girl!

I have to say... Leo is quite a remarkable kitty. He and the wiener dog play chase. He is a sweetheart, so much fun and a real charmer. He's playful and loving. You produce some of the best kitties, how does it get any better?
Thank you,
James, Stephanie and Leo
Pandi has the face of an angel, but she delights in deviling Banshee, our 13-year-old male Bengal, thus living up to her name, which is short for "Pandemonium!"
She loves to play around the waterfall of our screened in pool, and she and Candi sound like a herd of buffalo as they chase each other across the top of my kitchen cabinets!
I think Bengals have the biggest, best personalities of all the cats who have ever owned me.
And -- here's the best part -- my husband, John, a devoted dog person, agrees with me that Bengals are truly unique and magnificent animals!

Hi Lori, We love our girls! Gemma (our sweet BSB) and Maya (our little Snow) have brought pure joy into our home. When we first brought them home as kittens, they didn’t leave each other’s side. Almost two-years old now, they are more independent and each have their favorite toys and hang-out spots. Gemma loves to hang-out on the enclosed porch watching birds and butterflies. Maya more often enjoys lounging at the top level of the kitty condo.
They both like to cuddle with us on the couch under “tents” we make by throwing a blanket over the top of the couch.
They are both quite talkative; it’s like learning a new language! Maya is quite vocal about the food and water situation. Gemma will definitely let you know when it’s play or tummy-rub time.
We are so impressed with you and your kitties. From day one, it’s visible that you raised them with so much love. We’re so appreciative that you have been there every step of the way with us as we’ve had questions, and to share our love of our ZawieCo Bengals!
Cruella and her best friend and "sister" Medusa:-)
Thank you Lori! We are loving Cruella! She’s beautiful and longggg… She loves affection from anyone and gets along great with my other animals. She’s very loving and she’s the only cat that I’ve ever known to kiss me on the lips!! You’ve been so great with us even after the fact of having Cruella this long, I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it!

Hello Lori!
Hope all is well with you! I just wanted to touch base on my little loves. The boys are due to turn one next week and have provided us with so much enjoyment and love I wanted you to know. With losing my dad and then Michael getting very sick earlier in the year, I have no idea how I would have survived the grief without their affection.
They have become very social when visitors come to visit and even sleep with Michael and I often, which is both heartwarming and constraining since they are like little ovens and don't move--LOL
They LOVE to play with things they can catch, like teasers or electronic toys, and love to show off their jumping skills! They are extremely vocal and talk to us constantly. They want to be involved in everything I do from laundry to cooking and even walk across my laptop several times a day. Anyone that comes to visit is enthralled with their beauty and markings but it's their personality that seals the deal.

Hi Lori,
Great to hear from you. Life with Gibbs is great he’s such a ball of energy.. I swear he knows what a camera is. Every time I take his picture he poses. Gibbs has a mother son relationship with Biggie, an old cat I rescued. He cleans her and she takes care of him it’s very sweet. With Thor he loves to walk over to him and then just wrap his body around his and wrestle. It’s hilarious and Thor loves it.
One day he started laying on his back and it's really cute in the morning because he’ll sleep on my bed like that I’ll wake up and he’ll be laying just like that. That boy is definitely confident!
He climbs up and down on the cat tree and hangs upside down😂 he’s crazy but we love him.
All the Best,

The bond Casteil has with him and the joy he brings to Jaydon only brings even more joy to me!
Just wanted to share that with you.
Jaydon said that Casteil is his twin, but in a cat form! 😂

Hi Lori,
Jovie is such a gentle sweet little guy and approaches the older cats slowly and (tries) not to run after them lol
We got him an exercise wheel and used a wand with a feather to lure him to it and now he’s on it constantly! I’m amazed at how smart he is and how quickly he learns. He’s unlike any other cat I’ve ever had. 😻
Jay and Walker are doing great!
They're really fun! Walker is huge. I have to weigh him but I'm guessing 15-18 lbs. Jay is more petite. I'm still using the Life's abundance.
They let me cut their nails. They sit on my lap. It's very cute.

Hi Lori!
Here is just one of the thousands of pics I have of the beautiful babies you bred. They are such great cats, I can't thank you enough for bringing them into my life.

Hi Lori,
Pebbles is the most adorable cat I've ever been around. She's beautiful, and while very energetic, she still has a cuddly and loving personality. We are both very happy with her, the kids are too.
Thanks again,
Joe (May 2015)
Hi Lori,
Lexi is growing so fast. She is very independent, active and vocal. She is like an athlete jumping and tumbling, climbing walls and jumping on top of the TV which is 1 inch wide (a kitty balance beam) She loves water and is obsessed with the toilet and small pieces of paper, like receipts. I caught her snooping in my handbag and pull out a receipt and run with it. She and my 6 year old male cat Gus have become good buddies. She loves letting him groom her. Getting Lexi is the best thing I did.

Meeting Meena for the first time in 2013
Meena now :-) May 2015
Hi Lori,
I just want you to know that Meena is the best kitty EVER!!
She is playful, takes the dogs in complete stride (I was so worried she's be scared) is super cuddly, and is spoiled ROTTEN! In a good way of course. :-) She's just a doll and every day I think how lucky I am to have her.
THANK YOU!!! You breed wonderful cats!
Lorena
Bengals are kid approved!
Apollo and Blaze, they both just love her

Shhhhh....Lilly and Apollo are napping :-)
Hi Lori,
We just wanted to tell you how much we love, "Latte Macchiato Silky Sprinkles". Yes, Delanie added "Silky" to his name after we picked him up...LOL.
He is the sweetest little guy ever. We did a lot of research when looking for another Bengal to add to our home and you have surpassed all of our expectations. You made the process so easy and you provided so much helpful information. Our vet along with others all comment on how sweet and cuddly he is for a Bengal. We couldn't be happier!!
Now, I just need to convince my husband that I need another color Bengal to add to our home...LOL.
Thank you again,
The Dennis Family
The kitty whisperer Cody with Kayce and Lily
He absolutely adores them like no other. Melts my heart !!

Ashton loves his kitties Hazel and Zoe ♥️
I swear if this wasn't such an expensive cat I'd name her trouble! Moved the cat teee into her room and she tried to jump on the ceiling fan! Lol! She plays with the wand by herself! She is so much fun and I can't wait for her to get a Little bigger so I can let her out of the room. Tylie was laughing so hard at her playing and being crazy that she was snorting! She thinks her cat is the best thing since sliced bread! It's all she talks about! We couldn't be happier! And I got ty to agree on the name khaleesi from game of thrones!
Christina and Tylie Nov 2016
Hi Lori, how are you?
We named him Valentin Pimentel, he is very smart and friendly, he is like a brother to my daughter.
Thanks, Renan
Dear Ozzie's Mom,
Ozzie's been good. Sometimes he is in the Christmas tree, but he likes to go and lay under it.
Sometimes he lays with us in bed.
We love him.
Chrissy and Nick
Here is my new kitten Sebastian.
I waited 2 months for him but that is ok because he is the best.
He loves to play and can jump real high. He always lets us know when he is hungry.
I just love my new kitten!!!
Rachel (June 07)
And great for the whole family!!
Dear Lori,
I wanted to thank you for such an amazing and informative experience at your cattery. We have named our precious little girl Lexi.
The hard work that you and your husband put into your cats/kittens is very apparent and shows in their personalities. Aside from being totally adorable, Lexi is very energetic, playful and curious.
I highly recommend your cattery.

Hi Lori,
Star is so much fun. She loves to play, and she follows me around wherever I go. She also loves to cuddle after she is all tired out. She has so much personality, she always is able to make me laugh, or cheer me up if I am sad.
Maxine and Star
I can't believe we have been together for a whole year!
Thank you Lori for helping me find my little Star (the best cat on the whole planet!!)
Maxine
Long awaited pick-up day...
Cristina gets her new baby Venus :-)
Willie was a rescue kitty from a bad breeder and has been such a joy. He loves to romp like a dog and interactwith his toys. ZawieCo's Holly is Willie's constant companion. They are rarely apart even while sleeping. She is much more the exotic, plays from a distance but has her routine demand for a rub. She is very curious and loves water.
Both are house cats that are trained for outdoor walks on a leash.
Best regards, DJ & Dwight
Pandora is never shy of meeting new friends and has even accompanied me to work where she met about 60 Marines but she not once shied away from the attention. Her boldness and intelligence have only grown with age as she masters any toy (electronic or otherwise) in a matter of minutes. She has not quite learned how to swim, but she has jumped into the tub and the pool a few times and given it a try... not very successfully though. Everyday when I return home to her, I am greeted by her lovingly charging towards me so I can lower my self to her level and we can nuzzle heads.
I have to go now, Pandora is being quite insistent on needing me to play with her.

Hello Lori,
Nichi (Bengal Kitten) loves her home, she is fitting in well.. She loves my lab Ruby (Nichi actually rolls over for Ruby), they are sweet together. Ruby and Nichi were just playing with a toy mouse... they were playing fetch together, so cute!!!
Reeses (my minpin) likes to get involved as well.
Nichi is getting more and more curious....... she loves her baths, her food, and I'm sure soon enough she'll be boss of everyone...
Omg Lori , thank you for such an awesome love bug!!
Mary (Dec 2010)
I will try to make this short.. if possible. They are adorable, they are a "FULL" time job, thank goodness I'm retired. It is like having two babies at my age.
Princess Zelda is the leader and Little Miss Tia follows right behind to see if they should be doing what they are, and of course they should not LOL
Just a few examples... climbing up the wall on the wall paper, going to the top of the bakers rack and jumping on the wall, finding spots under the cabinets that the builders did not close off (they are now)
I so thought that I had kitten proofed the house but they sure taught me I was wrong...They love to play, and they sleep together on the Molly tree every night. They are the happiness and laughter in my life, and I'm not sure how I managed to get along without them.

Murray is sooooo spoiled, and I love it.... He is standing here on my desk as I type this message!
He's very solid, a big eater, and very active!
I'm enjoying the heck out of him!
You should be very proud of the effort you put into these babies!

Hi Lori,
What a love bug our kitty is!!
When she finally went to sleep with me last night she laid her whole body down on mine, starting from my neck down. Am I in love!!

Chaka is busy all day "exploring" and getting into all kinds of "good" mischief, but he's smart enough to cuddle up to Ethel at nite so all is forgotten. What a smart cat!!!!
Jazi, the "Golden Prince", loves to turn over on his
belly when he sees me coming over to him without my shoes on and just waits for me to rub his tummy..
Lori, I have to tell you that if I would have known how this would be, I would have raised Bengal's instead of children.. (just kidding????)
The "Boy's" & I really enjoyed your visit last week..
Most Sincerely,
Arnie

Even bad kitties can be adorable :-)
Tikki and Perla got inside the cabinet and found a spare roll.
Then wanted to be part of the cleanup too. Like Lori said "UNLIKE ANY CATS YOU HAVE EVER KNOWN".
What a wonderful thing you and Lloyd do for humanity. To have one of your kittens is the beginning of a 'play/pay it forward' of goodness.
Love,
Pamela
Hi Lori,
Jake is great! Very active, loving and playful. We traveled to Deerfield Beach for New Years and Jake was AMAZINGLY good. He and our granddaughters had such fun together. He travels like a pro...no problem at all. We call him "go with the flow Joe"
Here is Jake watching Jake on video. He loves to sit on top of the TV and bat at the screen. He thought to himself: "who is THAT HANDSOME cat!"

HI LORI,
I WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW OUR TWO NEWEST ZAWIECO BABIES, CODY AND MIKO ARE AS AWESOME AS ZACK AND ZANE, OUR FIRST TWO ZAWIECO BENGALS. THEY ALL LOVE EACH OTHER SO MUCH. THEY PLAY AND HAVE SO MUCH FUN TOGETHER...IT IS A JOY TO SEE.
THANK YOU FOR SUCH SWEET BABIES.
THANK-YOU LORI FOR BEING THERE AND CARING SO MUCH.

Chloe is just so perfect!
We both couldn't be more happy.
She is so adorable when she falls asleep like this..
Pat and Danielle
Missy and Mister E. Happy together in St. James N.Y.
Lunesta is such a great cat.
She loves to nap with me, and in the morning when I work out she is there coaching me on, she's very personable.

Dear Lori,
When we get home, Reef greets us at the door, and demands to be picked up and carried around on a shoulder, before we do anything else! He loves to play fetch, runs around the house without once hitting the floor, and when playtime is done, is mushy and loveable! Reef is so much a part of our family now, that we barely remember life before him. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Love, Alice & Andy
Hi Lori,
Ronin and Cheeky are fine, both get more beautiful everyday. You might actually be surprised to see Cheeky, I think she's grown taller... What a sweet cat she is, she loves to nestle in my lap. Ronin, as I'm sure you guessed is becoming quite the handsome little devil, he's going be spectacular. The two play together constantly, you should see them leap, wrestle, and chase at each other. I'm really glad I got two cats, I shudder to think what life would be like for Ronin just by himself.
Dane
We are so happy....
We could have NOT EVER have done any better than what we did with choosing one of your adorable kittens!

Joanne:
"I Love having Benny in our lives. He is very special. I would so enjoy another one, I think I just have to convince Art."
Art:
"Joanne really wants a second Bengal. Benny really makes her (and the kids) happy. So I definitely want you to keep me in mind when kittens are born.
Keep it between us. It'll be a birthday present for Joanne. Talk to you soon."
On June 12, 05 Joanne got her birthday present and Benny got a new friend :-)
Benny at 6 months
Hi Lori!
I'm finally sending you new Aja pics. She's getting so big! she is the joy of my life. Hope everything there is well. Aja is kneading on my lap as we speak. You should be very proud.
Take care and enjoy the warmth of Florida! (Nov 04)

All is well here.
Leo is still growing and is so solid and strong. He is a beautiful and very affectionate kitten and we love him so much. He follows me all over the place. Wherever I go he follows.
Hope all your babies are good...
Wanted to wish you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving. Hope all is well and you are enjoying the beautiful weather in Fl.
