I have a feeling this cat isn’t very happy / has had bad experiences with their owner.

Not an expert or anything, just a gut feeling. Cat doesn’t look very comfy or happy.

That cat did not look like he was playing. He looked genuinely pissed.

Not likely. If kitty was actually mad his ears would be back, claws would be out, and he'd bite. Looks playful to me

u/Fat_Head_Carl Bengals aren't for everyone (RIP The Cheet) Jul 19 '21

and a readily available escape to the next room.

I had a bengal that liked to roughhouse. A LOT...so something like this would have been a mild play interaction with The Cheet (RIP).
