This page is where any of my clients can add a few notes of how they feel about our / their cats along with any thoughts of how they were treated by me during our journey to fitting the right kitty cat for their family.

Hello Lori,

Just wanted to check in and let you know how wonderful things are with me and Tybalt.

He is so fantastic, and thoughtful - he goes out of his way to talk me through waking up in the morning when my alarm goes off, and he is such a KISSER - he kisses me when we play, he kisses me in the morning and he kisses his favorite "Aunts and Uncles" when they stop by. He is such a love monkey! He gives kisses galore.

I drove him 8 hours to my parents house for Christmas - I didn't know what to expect taking him into the territory of two poodles and a yorkie. Tybalt was a trooper on the road (no meds). He slept like a baby, talked about some stuff but was good. We arrived and he became a champ! - Not only was he cool with the dogs (though he had never had to deal with dogs before), he was vocal about things as usual, made new friends with both the canine and human versions of our fam...and then...

My 2 and 4 yr old nephews showed up...My nephews are terrified of the poodles (as am I to an extent) - but Tybalt and my two yr old nephew Carter hit it off and Carter would pull his tail or get in his face (and where ANYONE WITH ANY SENSE would jump between a small child and a cat with claws - we let it go _ Tybalt was NOT ONLY understanding, BUT HE ALSO gave kisses to my nephew for doing so!). Not kidding - let a toddler pull and pinch at him and his rebuttal was to kiss the child on the lips. He never became aggressive (and he was harassed by small children and by small dogs! He was incredible - and you should take credit as a breeder for that; he's great with me, people, children, etc.) He has such a huge fan base with friends and family!

I love him madly and am floored by his "people (and canine)" skills! And adore his "kiss" antics!

When I decided to buy a Bengal, I called a lot of breeders, but Lori at Poolside was the most informative and I could tell (even over the phone) that this lady really cared about her cats and what a delightful, special person she is.
After many months and lots of phone calls she did a superb job and with her patience and willingness to work with me I got my kitten (Envie Rose), and what a sheer delight she is, she purrs constantly and she is so loving, she came into our house just like she belonged there. I can not say enough about the help, information and support I received from Lori. And how impressed I am at her knowledge of the breed and cats in general, I have a great admiration for her.

If you are looking for an intelligent, fun loving cat who can be taught how to
fetch and do other dog like tricks, then the Bengal Cat is what you want. They
also like water and they may even swim for you.

I can't say enough about the Bengals. I usually favor long hair cats, but my
husband always wanted a Bengal so I gave in. Now, I wish I'd given in sooner.

We could not have picked a better kind of cat to have fun with and who makes us
laugh on a daily basis. They are the sweetest and the most devilish kitties we
ever had. (And we had our share.) Their coats are unbelievably soft. (Like
velvet.) And their colors are so beautiful. Photos of the cats do not give
them justice. You have to see one in person.

Lori of "Poolside Cats" is by far the best breeder I ever encountered. What she
puts into her cats doesn't compare to what other breeders do. She goes more
than the extra mile for her brew. When I bought my two from her, not only did I
walk away with two healthy cats, I gained a friend and my very own "cat whisper"
who is on call 24 - 7. Her knowledge of cats compares just short of a Vet. The
only difference is Lori doesn't have a Doctor's Degree. She is always there for
me and is very patient with her answers.

So if you are looking for Bengals, "Poolside Cats" is definitely the place to
go. You get more than your money's worth. You get a heart full of love from
your new companion and a friend (Lori) you can share your kitty stories with.

Most important, if you don't have the energy that a Bengal requires on a daily
basis, then get two to keep each other amused. I know I did and I'm NOT sorry I
did.

Sincerely,
Fran Gard

AFTER EMAILS BACK AND FORTH, ON APRIL 2, 2011 I GOT TO MEET FACE TO FACE A
WOMAN I HAVE GROWN TO TRUST AND THINK OF AS A FRIEND. HER SOUND ADVICE
ON BENGAL CATS AND THE CARE FOR HAS GROWN TO MORE THAN A BLESSING OF
ONE OF HER CATS - A RETIREE KNOW AS COPPER PENNY. BUT WHAT I FEEL IS
A FRIENDSHIP. AND WHAT A CAT HE IS BY THE WAY. I FEEL SO HONORED AND
BLESSED BY THE PURCHASE OF THIS BOY. I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH A WELL
BRED AND WELL SOCIAL ANIMAL COME INTO MY HOME. IT IS LIKE HE HAS BEEN
HERE FOR EVER HIS MANNERS ARE PERFECT, HIS PURR IS SWEET, HIS PLAY
CAPTIVATES ME TO NO END, AND THE SPARKLE IN HIS EYE IS AMAZING.
PLEASE KNOW I HAVE SEARCHED FAR AND WIDE AND HAVE SPOKE TO SO MANY
PEOPLE ABOUT THERE CATS, BUT NO ONE HAS BEEN MORE FORTH RIGHT AND
HONEST AS LORI HAS BEEN, FROM CARE OF TO THE BOND AND HOW IT FORMS. IF YOUR OUT THERE AND ARE LOOKING TO PURCHASE A BENGAL CAT, WELL
ALL I CAN SAY IS AFTER YEARS OF HIT AND MISS, BAD CATS, OK CATS,
AND JUST GIVING UP. " WHAT A BLESSING " LORI THANK YOU SO MUCH I CAN'T
SAY ENOUGH ABOUT YOU, OR WHAT YOU DO FOR THE CAT WORLD, NOT TO SAY
WHAT YOU'VE DONE FOR ME WITH THIS FANTASTIC CAT I CALL MY SON, COPPER
PENNY I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

Thanks for putting so much love and time into Yogi. He has turned out to be more than we could have expected.

This morning he was already playing under the bedroom door with the other cats. I think Cole will be his best bud. Cole was my choice for first to be introduced to Yogi possibly this weekend. Diamond of course sat in front of the door hissing and growling.

Yogi is special because he is a non stop purr machine that likes to be held and loves to roll on his back to have his belly rubbed. We have never had all of this in one cat. Yogi is running and jumping for the feather on a stick. Midge will have a lot of competition with this game. The boy eats like a front end loader with a 3 yard bucket. It won't be long before those long legs and big feet support a good size cat. He will be another Cole. Large and loving.

"Hi, My name is Keith, I'm one of the many folks who have multiple cats from Poolside Bengals. I lost my 13 yr old Bengal due to cancer in March. Lori had read the story of my loss on the bengal yahoo group. She contacted me and said if/when you are ready I may have a kitten for you. After many hours of chatting on the phone and many emails, JuRu and Savannah arrived safely at the airport. Lori listened to me and what I was looking for and selected the perfect cats for me. I now have two great Bengals in my life. I consider Lori to be a friend and someone I trust."

Lori - Oh My Gosh, that baby is so sweet. On my trip today to Jacksonville, Rick went in to play with him 5 times. He was so worried Black Jack was alone. Black Jack took a nap with him yesterday after he got home. Who can resist that adorable purrr machine. Lori, I have never owned a new cat that is as outgoing and confident as this little guy. I couldn't wait to get home today so I could cuddle him. Thank you soooooo much. He doesn't care at all about the dogs, he hisses -they leave -and he continues on his way. WE LOVE HIM!!! --- Jana

Hi Lori,
I had researched for months and talked with many Savannah breeders before I bought Reggie. The minute I saw him and held him in my arms, I had to have this gorgeous boy. You answered every concern, from what to feed him, will he get along with my other pets, and what kinds of health issues Savannahs might experience. I was very glad to hear you are committed to testing for HCM. That tells me that you care about the long term health of your cats. I know I will have Reggie to love, for many many years, thanks to your diligence to eliminate as many genetic issues as possible. I am so pleased at how out-going and friendly he was right from the start. He just rolls over on his back in bed and looks backward to peek at me and ask for belly rubs. What a clown. I could go on and on but, there are very few breeders who spend the time,energy and money to produce a healthy, happy and beautiful cat. I would recommend you to anyone interested in buying a cat or kitten. Sincerely, Jana

Hi Lori - We wanted you to know how much we are enjoying Chaos & Racey! Aside from their beautiful coat (very soft & shiny) and markings, they have fantastic personalities! Racey is the "velcro" cat - is very lovable, loves attention & has to make herself take time out for a nap! Chaos is getting to be a beautiful big boy who is more calm and hangs with us no matter which room we are in. He loves to purr & have his neck & shoulders rubbed!

Both my husband & I want to send you a big thank you for being the type of breeder you are! You are one of a kind! You thoroughly explained to us what to expect with your cats, the breed, their health & their care. This was more info you would receive from a vet! You truly care about & know your breed, have done your homework and obviously you continue educating yourself in order to help your clients. Your care & concern for your kitties is over the top! This is so appreciated by us, and probably the reason you offer such awesome, well socialized Bengals & Savannahs! The fact that you offer your availability for any future questions, is also unbelievable!! How many times did you tell me "You're only a phone call away!"

I've attached a few pictures of "your babies!" We sure are enjoying them!

Thank you for being who you are!

Lori,
Streak has been eating well and has acclimated to his new home quite nicely. He has already been quite successful at making his new home his ”kingdom”. We are absolutely in love with him. He is such an energetic, but very sweet and loving little boy. My husband is still trying to get used to having a cat in the bed that wants to nestle up with him, as all of our past cats have only wanted to nestled up to me at night. He came home from work a little under the weather on Friday and when I got home, I found the two of them curled up together in bed. It was so cute.

Our family, as well as our daughter’s friends have had a blast playing with him. He has been a joy. I can honestly say this is the first cat we have ever owned that will play chase with humans and play fetch.. no humans needed. You were right about that green mouse… he does love it. It’s a riot.
