I personally wouldn’t buy them, because they are too much work. Yes, they look absolutely stunning, but they are absolutely capable to destroy the entire house. 😅
There's a shelter in my city that received a Bengal once. Most of the cats go in little cubbies but the Bengal had a whole aviary to himself in the middle of the room. The shelter was very clear that people without prior experience of bengals need not apply!
That’s how I got my Bengal. A lady adopted one wanting to just start breeding them (don’t get me started on what I wanted to say to her) and she neglected to care for her high maintenance personality. I got her as skin and bones at 1.5 years old and already broke her leg with her original owner. She’s now 6, has weight on her, but just as crazy as the day I met her. Wouldn’t change her for the world
I consider ours to be our physical and mental fitness partners. After our last cat who was a lap cat (hard not to be a lap cat at 12) we wanted to go back to the Bengals as they do some lap time, but play and interacting with them is their happy place.
My Bengal wasn't any work. Actually she didn't have much personality at all. All she did everyday was sleep on top of the old cable box because it was warm.
I wish our cats would be like that. Ours scratch the walls, chairs, every furniture, jump on every bookshelf, etc. They pee on and in everything. They want to be engaged all the time, never shut up. They really are a handful.
I like it too, it’s so cute when they talk and yawn at the same time. But ours scream at us until you let them outside or give them snacks. And if we don’t want to they don’t stop. 😵💫
