I Thought all generations were Bengals, as that is how the breed started?? |

It is my understanding that Bengals are, by definition, at least F4 (four generations from wild), and no different to domestic cats. The F1-F3 are ALCxdomestic crosses which form the foundation of the Bengal breed and I suppose may have more 'wild' traits potentially. But of course, I may be wrong!  And as a completely aside point, surely a good reputable breeder would breed away from undesirable traits such as those mentioned? |

Not sure I believe that, although my cat Arthur did get into a fight with a local Bengal cat, and I must say I have seen cats fight before but they were really fighting, my OH had to separate them in the end, as I was concerned what would happen otherwise. |

I read this five times before I realised what you meant by "spending time on their animals" I was thinking of a really big dog and someone riding it  Cats are cats. I always  at people who say cats aren't social animals. Last time someone told me theirs certainly wasn't I spent half an hour petting her tortie girl. I was never able to spend a single moment in her house after that without Where Kitty? hanging onto my limbs and trying to climb on me. We slept there quite a few times and every time she tried to keep me from sleeping by sitting on my head () and purring like a thing possessed until I'd finally untangle her from my hair, put her in a better spot and stroke her until I fell asleep.Some cats don't really go for the sociable angle, sure (although I've yet to meet one - even Ninja is turning out to be a right little tart!). But the thing with cats is that you can't say, "Cats do this" and "Cats would never do this" and "Cats behave in such and such way towards humans". I don't see why you'd want to. They'd be a mite boring if they were all the same! And I have known one who regularly killed rabbits or ducks and brought them home. |

I own a bengal and he is the softest cat in the world. No matter how much the children annoy him he has never ever scratched or bitten anyone. He has brought back a bird and a couple of rats but thats normal for a cat. |

Rubbish I would say too. Didn't think they were any different from any other cat. They all have their own personalities of course! |
