Grimbley is a decendant of those fishing cats....but waaaaaay prettier.

How big is Grimbley?

DucksNuts · 07-18-2009, 08:05 PM

He's bigger than a domestic cat...well....a normal domestic cat, not that ginger thing up there.

Bengal's are derived from asian leopards (fishing cats), they have pelt rather than fur and have a ridiculous fascination with water.

Grimbley would be in that bath in a heartbeat, especially if there was a fish in it. He's always tormenting the fish tank and loves playing with the sprinklers.

what's the difference between pelt and fur?

capnhowdy · 07-18-2009, 09:08 PM

fur
Fur is a body hair of any non-human mammal, also known as the pelage. It may consist of short ground hair, long guard hair, and, in some cases, medium awn hair.

(wikipedia)

pelt
Fur or pelage, the hair, fur or wool that covers an animal's skin, that has been stripped off the animal.

OK, wiki is probably right, I know a lot of it is just usage, but to me....pelt is less allergic than fur. Grim's pelt is shorter, silkier and he sheds a lot less than domestic cats.

well, but that's not what Ducksnuts said.
