bengal traitshi any one got a bengal or bengal x,i need advice

I've never owned a Bengal, although I would love to, so I can't offer direct advice. But from researching the breed myself here's what I've learnt: - they are usually larger than the average moggie cat, average weight is 6 kilos. - they are very high energy and are best suited to a home with outdoor access as if they're kept inside in a small space they can get frustrated and bored. - they are very, very friendly and companionable and love lots of human contact. - they are very intelligent and can often be trained to do small tricks such as roll over, sit, beg, fetch the ball. - their fur is different to all other cat breeds, due to their origins, and is much silkier than normal cats fur. - they are quite vocal as well (although not as vocal as siamese!) This is only what I can remember, I'm sure another member will be along with more advice soon  Have you just taken on your wee bengal cat? |

Reading that description of the Bengal they would seem to be the perfect family pet although when I asked the question to someone in rescue who was inundated with Bengals she said it was because they were quite aggressive. |

I have never had a bengal but have heard that they can be aggressive with other cats, that said, I have a friend who runs an independant cat rescue and she has two, they get along just fine with all the others. Dont they also like to play in water? They are excellent climbers so watch out for those expensive curtains  |

my cat has a bit of Bengal but he is small due to the other breeds he was bred with! loves water - gets in the bath/shower/sink (when there on!!) plays in his water bowl which goes Everywhere! Very annoying!! talks all the time high energy, loves to jump Very high from the spot! has the most intense green eyes Ive ever seen a very silky coat & slight marble/spotty markings in his coat. doesn't talk a half as much as my Siamese x though! i am getting a Full Bengal next year & i contacted another breeder about a different breed of cat and she refused to sell me any of her cats as i will have a Bengal! she said that 2 of her kittens had been killed & 2 re homed due to Bengals already in the home so she wont sell to people with Bengals anymore! what makes you think she has Bengal in her? do you know any thing about her parents?  |

Az is The Boss of Catsey (and it's sister site, Dogsey). he has a lovely Bengal, Cheetah. I too have heard they don't get along too well with other breeds, but suppose it depends on the personality of the cats involved. They are indeed high energy cats! |

Your Cass certainly is a lovely looking cat, Bengal genes or not! There are other members here who have Bengals - perhaps if one of the Mods picks up on this thread, they could advise you who to contact. |
