The three boys were on my bed a while back and sleeping soundly. I quickly grabbed my camera and took some shots of them, trying to get some close-ups of my very shy boy, Torrey - a marbled bengal.
Torrey is tricolored, meaning he has three colours that are filled with amazing 'glitter' - which doesn't show on any pictures I have except for when he was a kitten (this pic was taken of Torrey at 8 weeks).
His pattern is swirly and very pretty! Lots of sparkly colour!
Whoops! He woke up so I backed off until he started snoozing again!
Torrey is unusual as he has rosettes starting to form within his pattern, even though he is a marbled bengal and rosettes are usually only seen in spotted bengals. The rosettes are getting more and more defined as he gets older (even though you can't see them properly in the pics!) and are now tan coloured in the centre, gold around the outside and dark brown around the gold. Very funky.
But he doesn't have any rosettes on his right side, only his left!
Here are some pics of Torrey as a kitten! The first one is the earliest pic I have! I think he's two weeks old in this pic!
These pics show you his coat at 5 weeks!
He's a really, really, really shy boy, but he's lovely! I have used some techniques on him that are used by those working with Asian Leopard Cats and they have really worked!So, while Starbuck may look more like an Asian Leopard Cat, Torrey's personality is much more like his wild ancestors than Starbuck's! It truly is like having an Asian Leopard Cat living with me!
P.S. This was a T13 as I have included exactly 13 pics of Torrey! I hope you enjoyed them!
P.P.S. Remember to visit my friend over at her new blog, Fate of the Animals!

You really are an amazing looking kitty. I am all one color. It's kinda boring.

Torrey's pattern is very beautiful! He has a lovely coat. :)
Wow, you are GORGEOUS!!! The Tall Man would completely just pet and pet and pet you. I was supposed to be a Bengal but the LL wanted me since I needed a home. Your furs are incredible.

Wow, Torrey, you are very exotic. You were very patient to let the lady take all of those pictures, too. Thanks for letting us see.
Your buddy, Jimmy Joe
You are a very pretty colored kitty when you were a baby and now - you should not be shy around the camera.

I have never seen such a beautiful coat in my life - it's really amazing. Torrey is a remarkably stunning cat!

When he was small didnt seem to be shy... maybe he doesnt like camera... That happensa also with one of my cats: his name is Yacu.

what beautiful cats. In answer to the comment you left on my site regarding the dog run in with the porcupine, Kevin advised me that the dog needed 243 stitches, but survived and is now doing fine.
If you get a chance, check out my new blog "catnip corner," and submit pics of your cats for the "cat of the week"
