Meet Eva and Ella

Personal

The life of wild Bengals

As I mentioned in my last blog, Our New Website, I have set the goal of blogging twice a month moving forward! I also want to blog about more personal things and less business, starting with our cats! Yes, we have two Bengal cats named Eva and Ella. Eva is short for Evaki, and we got her on January 14th, 2020. We have always wanted cats but my allergies have been the problem, so after much research we found the Bengal cat to be more hypoallergenic and gave it a shot. I am happy to say that now, almost a year later, the allergies are very manageable for me. I rarely need an allergy pill, maybe once a month or less.

Given COVID-19 in early March and beyond, it did also turn out to be great timing to have extra company while we found ourselves spending even MORE time at home.

My wife Sarah, the writer behind NJP, picked Eva's name after researching something unique. Evaki is the Bakairi night goddess, aunt of the twin culture heroes Keri and Kame. Evaki has the responsibility of taking the sun out of the jar it is kept in every morning and putting it back away at night. Evaki is associated with sleep and dreams, and she is sometimes represented as a bat.

We then got our second Bengal, a good choice seeing as Bengal's have LOTS of energy, on August 6th. Ella is closer to a wild Bengal than Eva and so has a bit more wild energy; whereas Eva tends to be more laid back. Don't get me wrong, they both go through their crazy zoomy phases on a daily basis.

I could probably bore you with more cat facts but this is a PHOTO blog so here is my best attempt to "narrow down" on my favorite images over the year.
