I have a beautifull bengal Spotted Roset cat named Rio who is 7 months old now, he is the best side kick a man can have, he's always around me, goofing around, when i go downstairs he waits upstairs to jump on me for fun when i come back up the stairs, and listens very well. For instance i don't want him to enter my bedroom, that's my domain and he tries sometimes to enter it when i leave the door open on purpose to teach him not to go in.... as soon as i see him sneaking in im saying Noooo Rio!! And he will stop... and go back out.... the rest of the house is accesible to him. He loves to cuddle and play, and i didn't know about the dark thing... but i have a street latern in front of my house so he always has a bit of light inside, so that's a lucky coincidence. He's really smart, i have a balcony (live on 1st and 2nd floor of a house) and from the first day i opened the doors so he can go on the balcony. It's to high for him to jump off and he never ever had an issue with it... he seems to understand it's not doable and this is a good thing since i don't want to have my doors closed all summer :). People that want to buy a Bengal... please buy it from a good breeder of the race, he's expensive but came in already potty trained... never EVER did he do anything outside the litterbox, and the only thing he ever wrecked was a plant, and he climbed my new curtains... so i tied them up so he couldn't reach them for a while.... now he doesn't seem to care anymore so that's a good thing! Love him so much! He's really a fun boy
I'd still recommend you secure your balcony. My cat was always content to look at the world from under the balcony railing and didn't seem to realize for 4 years that he could also jump on top of it. I was so confident that he wouldn't do anything stupid that I felt no anxiety letting the balcony door open when I wasn't home - but at some point he discovered that it's much more interesting on top so I had to secure it. Could only take one bird for your side kick to forget that jumping off the balcony is not advisable.
I am fostering a Bengal cat right now! She was terrified at the shelter and no one wanted to touch her. She is actually quite sweet and is enjoying cuddle time! I can’t wait until she comes out of her shell and starts playing!
I have a one year old dotted/rosetted Bengal that doesn’t know she’s a Bengal. She’s a lap cat & sits on my lap whenever I’m watching TV. She hates water, she’s terrified if I bring her outside, she doesn’t use her cat tree or her wall gym & doesn’t pursue high places. She loves to curl up with me & sleep, thus her activity level isn’t anything special. She’s the most gentle cat I’ve ever had, displaying no aggression towards people or other pets. She loves the whole family & does not have a chosen person. she’s rather clumsy when galloping & jumping around. She just does not conform to the Bengal stereotype at all.
I’ve had cats my whole life and love them dearly! I just adopted a beautiful Bengal and she is so special! I really never had a cat that is this attentive and wants and needs attention. I love her and a Bengal really is different to a normal cat. I’m not saying better or worse, just different. They are all special and should be loved!!
I have a 1yo bengal and I can say these are all very true! Especially the part about them having so much energy and needing socialization. This is why I tell some people bengals are sort of like a cat/dog hybrid when it comes to their personalities!
I have 4 cats and 2 of them are Bengal. The first Bengal is 1 yrs old. I recently got a kitten and the older one has been treating my kitten like it was her own baby. My cats never go outside because of all the many things that could happen. I heard of 2 bad boys that found a cat and they put it in a microwave. Bad boys grow up to be bad men. They get a lot of exercise by chasing with each other around my apartment. My husband and I are retired so they are never left alone. Love your channel.
I have a 2 yr old silver Blynx (bengal/lynx) and he has hated people from the day we got him. He warms up to people but it takes days. Hes cuddly when he wants to be and like playing with the little stuffed mouse toys. Hes massive and very muscular. I also have an 11mo old brown/orange bengal and she is extremely curious and vocal. She yells about everything, when she wants pets, playtime, food, snack, outside, when she's happy. So all the time. Loves cuddles and fetch. Those two are so cute together.
I'm picking up a 6 month old rosetted silver bengal in two days. I've already bought lots of interactive toys and a cat wheel for her, two cat trees and wall furniture as well. I'm going to be getting lots of puzzle toys too. I'm looking forward to get arrival!
We had a half (or possibly full) Bengal female. Queen was the most loving cat and a great hunter at just seven pounds. We let her leave the house through a doggy pet door at her leisure. She brought 28 dead and four live rats into our house through the pet door in one year! Nearly all of the dead rats were half eaten. Queen got along well with our wire fox terrier and our neighbors just loved her.
I am from South Africa living in an apartment in a beautiful retirement village, or shall I say, I live with my Bengal here. He loves the large open space surrounds and gardens and he takes me twice a day for an hour long walk, inspecting every bush and possible other cat visitor that has left him a note to 'read'...The retirerees here are amazed by his beauty, rareness and love whatching him planning a stealthy 'hunt' while on a leash. His biggest dream is to catch a birdy...but of course never succeeds. I am aloud to apply a good routine and he is actually a very obedient and well behaved Bengal due to good food, playing games of which hide and seek is his favourite and of course respecting his private times. We talk quite a lot but all I know is with a Bengal, it works from two ways regards needs. He is almost three years, super inquisitive and super cute when working out a puzzle play BUT, he also has a strong will when focused on some smell or object when he takes me for our daily walks. I love my Archibald.♡♡
Our Begal Cat is a brown charcoal marble that our son picked as a stray at his work. We knew the coat wasn't correct for a tabby. We confirmed it was a Bengal after consulting with our veterinarian, whom put us in touch with Lone Star Bengals. We ultimately named the Bengal, Shiloh. I would post a picture or two, but TH-cam frowns upon such.
We recently brought home two beautiful bengal boys! They are four months old and although they are very energetic, they have adjusted well to the schedules and personalities of the rest of our furry family (2 senior Maltese dogs and a senior Himalayan cat). One week after we brought them home, we rescued a malnourished tuxedo kitten from a very busy highway. He was tiny, about 6 to 8 weeks old. I guess the cat distribution system wasn’t too happy with us going to a breeder 😅. They get along just fine and have become best friends. I will say the tuxedo kitten is much more energetic than the bengal boys.
I just adopted a bengal but she is tiny. She’s about 9 months and she’s had a regular diet that she needs but she never grew 🥺 I have a miniature bengal
I only have 1 cat. He is half Bengal and half Pixie bob. He is 3yo and is right around 15lbs lean and very strong and playful. Basicaly a Bengal with a 6in tail. One favorite games is he hides and jumps out at me latching on my leg the runs around to get me to chase.. honestly im 50 he out paces me instantly
I have two cats. One is a tabby and the other a Bengal. Tabby’s playtime is about 30 minutes a day and she’s happy. The Bengal on the other hand plays for 20 minutes rests for 5 minutes and back at it again, and can be like that all day long. So definitely not for everyone. They eat wet food of high quality everyday at 8 PM. Besides that. Bengals are very loyal, highly intelligent, fun, they have big beautiful eyes. They follow you everywhere. They are very attentive at what you do.
I have a snow sepia bengal with glitter fur. He's very loving and likes to be around people. Very curious. He loves hugs/cuddles and attention. Does not like to get his front paws touch but is keen on belly rubs and his cat tree.
I have two snow benfals 1 girl and 1 boy. They are 1 yr and 2 months old. And Brother and Sister. The boy is a big softy with a very quiet “meow”, knows what he likes, loves hunting, loves my husband and comes and goes as he pleases. The girl, same age is quite the opposite! She is very vocal, adventurous and is considered “my” cat. She was involved in a RTA on 9th May outside our house and received a shard split bone to her front leg. She has spent 8 weeks of 24 hr cage life and now only has to go in the cage overnight to prevent her out hunting. Now she can come out during the day she is a lot happier, although she stays away from the road and in 3 weeks time will have 24 hr freedom. It’s been a long three months, but I think she will be happier, healthier and more settled and less stressed when she doesn’t have to be caged anymore. ( fingers crossed)
I adopted a kitten from a foster care cat rescue. As I got to know more about bengals I began to notice that my kitten shows many characteristics of bengals. Further research convinced me more and more as time went by until I finally ordered a DNA test. I haven’t taken it yet, but I’m convinced she IS a Bengal and this video has been very helpful. I hope to find out soon.
I found an abandoned kitten that turned out to be a Bengal. After making sure that no one was looking for him I adopted him. He grew very fast and is now larger than regular cats. He bonded with my small female cat, who has Burmese characteristics. They groom each other and don't mind if I am gone for a few hours. I would recommend having another cat, Bengal or not, if you are not always home.
I own two brothers, gotten from a shelter at age 1. Now age 4. They each eat 4 cans of Fancy Feast a day, yet they are not fat. They are not allowed outside. If I must go away overnight, I get a live in cat sitter. These kitties love visitors. HOWECER, a visitor came for an overnight stay with their small dog. My cats had never seen a dog before, and they got scared and hid until the dog left.
My Bengals are prolific hunters and kill squirrels almost as big as a cat! When they were kittens, I took them outside and encouraged them to scratch the trees and use the bathroom outside. If you spend time with your Bengals, they're quick learners and can do most things a trained dog can!
Our Bengal was a seven pound female. Queen had free access to come and go through our doggy door. In one year, she brought 28 dead rats and four live ones through the doggy door. Most of the dead rats were half eaten--head first. She also brought us a dead squirrel and a bird. A few times she disappeared for 2-3 days and then came home. She was a gentle, loving cat to us and our terrier.
We have a Bengal cat and she is about seven months old. She is very active and needs a lot of stimulation. We also have two other cats who are about two years older, but she sometimes gives them a hard time. I can see that they really love her though. She also loves to climb trees and is always interested in birds, although has never caught one.
Our Bengal brought us over 30 rats in one year (almost all were dead and half eaten). As a bonus, we received a squirrel, several mice, and lizards. Wonderful loving cat!
A friend found outside one night an abandoned kitty. His eyes weren't even open yet. She brought it inside because it is still cold outside in June where we live, She didn't know much about cats except that it did need milk so she coaxed it to take little bitty from a small teaspoon. She couldn't keep it because she has a very small apartment and is not home very much do to her jobs. I recently lost my 2 kitties to old age and wasn't planning to get another cat because I am 80 yrs old and didn't want to subject a cat to a lost owner. Well she brought it over during one of her jobs (cleaning houses) because other people where she lived were complaining. She had already named him Pancho. ( I think she knew I would break down and take it. She was right. So when I told my son that I somehow found myself the owner of a 4 month old kitten he just shook his head and I said "what was I thinking?" Not only to him but to myself too. So Pancho is now 7 months old. I know when I began to look at him he was unuque
Found easy way to stop them when they are too energetic during the nights. Putting freemove harness on them. Mine becomes calm like a sheep, she can freely move around but wont have that energy behind it
My boy is 1 year old. He’s a beautiful big boy. He’s a collector of sticks etc. He’s very smart and very very spoiled. I love him 😍 And he’s very very noisy!!! 😂
I have a Bengal cat I adore but he ruined our range cooker by jumping up peeing on it we didn't realize until we caught him in the act ! We've bought a new cooker but have to completely cover it up with a plastic cloth and cover it in puppy training pads ! He still pees on it occasionally but at least it's just a matter of changing the pad and not the cooker😊
my bengal is super loving and kind! she is so relaxed and gets her hyper moments! she is the best! i love her! she gives so many lovely kisses she is so sweet:)
Yes Adoped My "STAR" from Local Animal Shelter Where She Was Born to a Oregnat Female Cat but She Was only Specified as Tabby. I've owned Many Tabbys in my Lifetime but STARs Leg markings arent normal Tabby. Si I Suspected She is Tabby)Bengal and Started Reseaching Bengal oersonslity Traits and Yes Shes Definitely Part Bengal She's Very Sweet yet Independent too. In A Way Shes More like a Puppy vs normal kitten shes highly Verbal and Meows a lot ti communicate and responds to her Name (Was Doing this in under 6 hours after bring her Home !). She's Very Smart & has Selected Nany if her own Toys too. She Keeps Me Laughing by her antics of play. She's Quite affectionate when not in play mode
I have a beautiful silver bengal named Luna. I tried keeping her as an inside cat. But she was never happy, as we have two other cats. One older and one a little younger. They don't get on at all. I am going to look at getting her a companion when I move in the new year. But I'm worried if she's too old to be introduced to another kitten.
I have a silver Bengal kitten she’s most definitely a character however I love her to death. She requires a lot of attention & exercise, she is full of energy constantly. Please seriously think before you buy a Bengal kitten, they are adorable but hard work…🇬🇧
I have a 1 yo spotted silver and he's super cool. We also have 2 pitbulls that he loves more than us lol. He has a 7ft cat tree, a giant cat wheel and plenty of house to run around. Hes not very talkative or affectionate toward my wife and i though. I will say i think he has picked me as his person bc he acts up when shes home and im not. As soon as i get home he relaxs and doesn't try to rip the blinds apart lol. Im curious as to why he isnt very affectionate though. He never lays on our laps or beside us. Always with the dogs. That being said when were standing hes constantly rubbing up against our legs and wants pets but as soon as you sit on the couch he wants nothing to do with you.
I have a Bengal cat that came from a breeder. He was the runt of the litter, not colored right and number of health issues. No papers for him. No nothing because the breeder was going to destroy him. He’s got no immune system to fleas in another birth defect. His heart is not where it’s supposed to be it’s up against the rib cage. I take my cat in every month just to be checked and get a shot and then I do take him in to get a complete physical. He said he is six years old and doing pretty good he’s got birds he’s got a bat and a lot of feld mice
Our Bengal is very independent and needs freedom to roam. She is two and half now and is settling down well. If she comes to set on your lap be honoured! She loves the grandchildren arriving but must have her own space to escape this is very important
One of these showed up here a couple months ago as a stray. Too wild to come. I thought feral. Finally he has come for food, and turns out this cat has come from a good home. Loves being picked up and petted. Hates being in the house. He was very badly scratched from fighting. Yesterday was castrated. We need to find him a home.
Our Bengal would leave for 2-3 days and return home. We always said she was on "vacation" but she was just staying with our neighbors. She was the most loving kitty cat.
I have one and now she's annoying as hell. I tried to go outside with here once and from there I have to go every day and after one hour of walking neighborhood I'm listening to loudly constant meowing for another two hours... :(
I hought a 3 months old bengal male cat he's super energetic in destroying everything while kept alone and i have 2 adult Persian cat's and the bengal keeps fighting with them and he even bites hands very hard how to trian him from this age itself to be friendly
HELP! We inherited a Bengal from a neighbor and we love him, he loves us, but what the heck is up with the mood swings?! I’m his favorite so it’s really only me he does it to, but we’ll be playing with a string or something and all a sudden he starts meowing his “aggressive meow” and will proceed to try to bite and scratch me 😢 I know his signs so I always back off as soon as he starts that but he literally follows me until he gets a bite in. Half the time I end up feeding him bc that seems to be what will shut him up lol but I also know that might just be making it worse. What do I do??????? 🥺🤧😱 Help help help!! 😫
My 3 month Bengal boy Sam is very talkie. Making sounds about everything. I'm going crazy when trying to understand are everything alright or he needs something.
I own a marble bengal, he was lost in the fields we took him on as a pet from animal rescue. He was two then now he's 5 years old and l love him yes they scratch he can bite very hard if frustrated but to me he is my boy. That's his name boy, he sleeps with me and we cuddle up till morning very clever and gets his way but l don't mind that is who we live for our boy
I have a bengal kitten of 4months and she's exactly what you have mentioned. It's really a good and valuable information, thank you for helping us with the informations. Just have one question, sometimes my cat is very aggressive and frequently bites and scratches a lot and run around. Can you please give me a solution for this and the some tips to train my cat. Thank you.
Generally speaking, Bengals get aggressive if they are bored, someone is provoking them, or they aren't feeling well. Figure out why they’re aggressive, and then you can workout a solution.
My friend is a vet. She recommended we get a boy bengal. I've had cats all my life. My kitten is almost 6 months and he's wide open! But he's still easier than all my girl siamese cats!
My bengal cat doesn’t seem interested in going outside. I’ve been trying to show him that he can go outside on the balcony, but he runs back inside. Should I keep trying to make him go outside?
I adopted a small gray Tabby from my animal clinic job left at amazingly our back door with a tiny black kitten…Grayling Daniel weighed 1.87 pounds and his Sister .97 a black cat. At that time I was engaged and we wanted a male cat…they said the black cat has been adopted but the tabby is still available….he’s the male. I adopted him and he was tiny and a little fuzzy…then one day he strode into the living room long tail high…..I said David…he’s not a Tabby that’s a Bengal!!! We did a DNA and he’s 95%Bengal and 5%Maine Coon….we adore him….he has his own room, cat tree and a smart TV we leave on at night on a cat channel…..he’s so big now…would I change it…no..he was a gift from Heaven. He’s a wonderful cat. I have to sometimes remind him his Sisters are a lot older but he’s learning…now he’s over a year old❤️😻
That's so crazy, I pretty much had the same thing happen! We adopted a grey "tabby" then our vet told us he is a Bengal mix. We were like "ooooooh, that explains so much"
I’m trying to figure out how a cat can be 95% bengal. They are a wild cat hybrid with a domesticated cat...and not all bengals have the same percentage of Asian leopard cat genes.
@@GilaMonster971 I suppose that would mean that they align with a typical Bengal gene type (Bengals as a breed have been around several decades) as opposed to other domestic breeds. I don't think they mean mostly wild cat, just mostly bengal
@@Ash-fo3ii But how much of a percentage dictates whether a cat is a bengal? For example my bengal is an F1 it’s 50/50 an Asian leopard cat and a abassynian. But there are many other F numbers that water down the genes and most bengals are more domesticated cat than a Asian leopard cat. It’s impossible to be 95% “bengal” since it’s a hybrid cat. Whoever did that genealogy test lied.
@@GilaMonster971 whoever gets these tests is a bit full of it tbh. Breeding or buying these cats is unethical, so idk how much vets give a damn about the genetic purity of your cat. F1 through F4 is a metric for breeders who want to make money off of living creatures. But hey, they only wish they were as successful as the sociopaths that breed dogs. Breeding is gross...period.
I got a Bengal cat and it truly hates me 😢 I’m thinking about selling him because I’ve spent almost $$$$ on training, took it to the vet and it’s healthy so that not why he’s mad plus he was so friendly at the vet, literally it was like another cat. He breaks my things then looks at me and walks away. He’s scratched all my expensive furniture 😢. My ex got him for me after we broke up and I’m truly convinced he knew this cat was evil
Is a constant hassle!! Please give me a break. you are already asking me to subscribe even before I have gotten a chance to watch the whole video Your video has some truth to it but has bs to it as well I have a bengal and she is a happy healthy kitty I treat her the same way I treat my maincoon and barn cat Lots of love

THANKYOU. Declawing is the WORST 2:22
This is the only video that states about not leaving them in total darkness. Excellent tip! Thank You!
It is definitely not
I have a 1yo bengal and I can say these are all very true! Especially the part about them having so much energy and needing socialization. This is why I tell some people bengals are sort of like a cat/dog hybrid when it comes to their personalities!
Bengals RULE
I have 4 cats and 2 of them are Bengal. The first Bengal is 1 yrs old. I recently got a kitten and the older one has been treating my kitten like it was her own baby. My cats never go outside because of all the many things that could happen. I heard of 2 bad boys that found a cat and they put it in a microwave. Bad boys grow up to be bad men. They get a lot of exercise by chasing with each other around my apartment. My husband and I are retired so they are never left alone. Love your channel.
How do you get the bengals not to mess with the other cats? Our bengal won’t stop jumping on our older tabby cat.
Just got a 9 wk old brown rosette bengal and she is a whirl of activity. So playful and so loving. She really is amazing and never a dull moment 💗
I have a 2 yr old silver Blynx (bengal/lynx) and he has hated people from the day we got him. He warms up to people but it takes days. Hes cuddly when he wants to be and like playing with the little stuffed mouse toys. Hes massive and very muscular. I also have an 11mo old brown/orange bengal and she is extremely curious and vocal. She yells about everything, when she wants pets, playtime, food, snack, outside, when she's happy. So all the time. Loves cuddles and fetch. Those two are so cute together.
I don’t think bengals and lynx breed at all
(Random point)
I'm picking up a 6 month old rosetted silver bengal in two days. I've already bought lots of interactive toys and a cat wheel for her, two cat trees and wall furniture as well. I'm going to be getting lots of puzzle toys too. I'm looking forward to get arrival!

We rescued her from a bad house and situation and she's been nothing but a ray of sunshine in our lives. She's brown striped very cool.
I have just brought a half bengal/half tabby as she's adorable

Yess
I have a snow sepia bengal with glitter fur. He's very loving and likes to be around people. Very curious. He loves hugs/cuddles and attention. Does not like to get his front paws touch but is keen on belly rubs and his cat tree.
I have two snow benfals 1 girl and 1 boy. They are 1 yr and 2 months old. And Brother and Sister.
The boy is a big softy with a very quiet “meow”, knows what he likes, loves hunting, loves my husband and comes and goes as he pleases.
The girl, same age is quite the opposite! She is very vocal, adventurous and is considered “my” cat.
She was involved in a RTA on 9th May outside our house and received a shard split bone to her front leg.
She has spent 8 weeks of 24 hr cage life and now only has to go in the cage overnight to prevent her out hunting.
Now she can come out during the day she is a lot happier, although she stays away from the road and in 3 weeks time will have 24 hr freedom.
It’s been a long three months, but I think she will be happier, healthier and more settled and less stressed when she doesn’t have to be caged anymore. ( fingers crossed)

I found an abandoned kitten that turned out to be a Bengal. After making sure that no one was looking for him I adopted him. He grew very fast and is now larger than regular cats. He bonded with my small female cat, who has Burmese characteristics. They groom each other and don't mind if I am gone for a few hours. I would recommend having another cat, Bengal or not, if you are not always home.
I own two brothers, gotten from a shelter at age 1. Now age 4. They each eat 4 cans of Fancy Feast a day, yet they are not fat. They are not allowed outside. If I must go away overnight, I get a live in cat sitter. These kitties love visitors. HOWECER, a visitor came for an overnight stay with their small dog. My cats had never seen a dog before, and they got scared and hid until the dog left.
My Bengals are prolific hunters and kill squirrels almost as big as a cat! When they were kittens, I took them outside and encouraged them to scratch the trees and use the bathroom outside. If you spend time with your Bengals, they're quick learners and can do most things a trained dog can!
Our Bengal was a seven pound female. Queen had free access to come and go through our doggy door. In one year, she brought 28 dead rats and four live ones through the doggy door. Most of the dead rats were half eaten--head first. She also brought us a dead squirrel and a bird. A few times she disappeared for 2-3 days and then came home. She was a gentle, loving cat to us and our terrier.
We have a Bengal cat and she is about seven months old. She is very active and needs a lot of stimulation. We also have two other cats who are about two years older, but she sometimes gives them a hard time. I can see that they really love her though. She also loves to climb trees and is always interested in birds, although has never caught one.
Actually I’ve found that their predatory drive is much lower the many other cat breeds.
Also extremely talkative.
Our Bengal brought us over 30 rats in one year (almost all were dead and half eaten). As a bonus, we received a squirrel, several mice, and lizards. Wonderful loving cat!
A friend found outside one night an abandoned kitty. His eyes weren't even open yet. She brought it inside because it is still cold outside in June where we live, She didn't know much about cats except that it did need milk so she coaxed it to take little bitty from a small teaspoon. She couldn't keep it because she has a very small apartment and is not home very much do to her jobs. I recently lost my 2 kitties to old age and wasn't planning to get another cat because I am 80 yrs old and didn't want to subject a cat to a lost owner.
Well she brought it over during one of her jobs (cleaning houses) because other people where she lived were complaining. She had already named him Pancho. ( I think she knew I would break down and take it. She was right. So when I told my son that I somehow found myself the owner of a 4 month old kitten he just shook his head and I said "what was I thinking?" Not only to him but to myself too. So Pancho is now 7 months old. I know when I began to look at him he was unuque
How does this not have thousands of likes this is great thank you so much!
I've seen my kitty 80 feet in a poplar tree sorry I love her but she on her own at that moment lol she always comes back down
Found easy way to stop them when they are too energetic during the nights. Putting freemove harness on them. Mine becomes calm like a sheep, she can freely move around but wont have that energy behind it
My boy is 1 year old.
He’s a beautiful big boy.
He’s a collector of sticks etc.
He’s very smart and very very spoiled.
I love him 😍
And he’s very very noisy!!! 😂
Very-very noisy)
😅
I have a Bengal cat I adore but he ruined our range cooker by jumping up peeing on it we didn't realize until we caught him in the act ! We've bought a new cooker but have to completely cover it up with a plastic cloth and cover it in puppy training pads ! He still pees on it occasionally but at least it's just a matter of changing the pad and not the cooker😊
my bengal is super loving and kind! she is so relaxed and gets her hyper moments! she is the best! i love her! she gives so many lovely kisses she is so sweet:)
im getting a baby snow bengal in this week !!!! ahhh🥰 this is so much needed lol
Yes Adoped My "STAR" from Local Animal Shelter Where She Was Born to a Oregnat Female Cat but She Was only Specified as Tabby. I've owned Many Tabbys in my Lifetime but STARs Leg markings arent normal Tabby. Si I Suspected She is Tabby)Bengal and Started Reseaching Bengal oersonslity Traits and Yes Shes Definitely Part Bengal She's Very Sweet yet Independent too. In A Way Shes More like a Puppy vs normal kitten shes highly Verbal and Meows a lot ti communicate and responds to her Name (Was Doing this in under 6 hours after bring her Home !). She's Very Smart & has Selected Nany if her own Toys too. She Keeps Me Laughing by her antics of play. She's Quite affectionate when not in play mode
i just got a silver bengal today and she is so gorgeous and so playful!
I have 2 begals and they are the most affectionate and playful pets! The best decision I ever made!
I have a beautiful silver bengal named Luna. I tried keeping her as an inside cat. But she was never happy, as we have two other cats. One older and one a little younger. They don't get on at all. I am going to look at getting her a companion when I move in the new year. But I'm worried if she's too old to be introduced to another kitten.
I love my girl.... 🐾💙🐾🐈 Every thing you said is true.... my girl is not crazy about water now that she is older 🙏🏼
I have no problem letting my bengal cat out unsupervised. It's not a problem here in Norway.
are they suitable for barn cat in a tropical setting?
I have a silver Bengal kitten she’s most definitely a character however I love her to death.
She requires a lot of attention & exercise, she is full of energy constantly.
Please seriously think before you buy a Bengal kitten, they are adorable but hard work…🇬🇧
I have a 1 yo spotted silver and he's super cool. We also have 2 pitbulls that he loves more than us lol. He has a 7ft cat tree, a giant cat wheel and plenty of house to run around. Hes not very talkative or affectionate toward my wife and i though. I will say i think he has picked me as his person bc he acts up when shes home and im not. As soon as i get home he relaxs and doesn't try to rip the blinds apart lol.
Im curious as to why he isnt very affectionate though. He never lays on our laps or beside us. Always with the dogs. That being said when were standing hes constantly rubbing up against our legs and wants pets but as soon as you sit on the couch he wants nothing to do with you.
I have a Bengal cat that came from a breeder. He was the runt of the litter, not colored right and number of health issues. No papers for him. No nothing because the breeder was going to destroy him. He’s got no immune system to fleas in another birth defect. His heart is not where it’s supposed to be it’s up against the rib cage. I take my cat in every month just to be checked and get a shot and then I do take him in to get a complete physical. He said he is six years old and doing pretty good he’s got birds he’s got a bat and a lot of feld mice
Our Bengal is very independent and needs freedom to roam. She is two and half now and is settling down well. If she comes to set on your lap be honoured! She loves the grandchildren arriving but must have her own space to escape this is very important
Great information...Thank you!
Mine is a social butterfly that crys when company leaves.
One of these showed up here a couple months ago as a stray. Too wild to come. I thought feral. Finally he has come for food, and turns out this cat has come from a good home. Loves being picked up and petted. Hates being in the house. He was very badly scratched from fighting. Yesterday was castrated. We need to find him a home.
Our Bengal would leave for 2-3 days and return home. We always said she was on "vacation" but she was just staying with our neighbors. She was the most loving kitty cat.
I have one and now she's annoying as hell. I tried to go outside with here once and from there I have to go every day and after one hour of walking neighborhood I'm listening to loudly constant meowing for another two hours... :(
I hought a 3 months old bengal male cat he's super energetic in destroying everything while kept alone and i have 2 adult Persian cat's and the bengal keeps fighting with them and he even bites hands very hard how to trian him from this age itself to be friendly
HELP! We inherited a Bengal from a neighbor and we love him, he loves us, but what the heck is up with the mood swings?! I’m his favorite so it’s really only me he does it to, but we’ll be playing with a string or something and all a sudden he starts meowing his “aggressive meow” and will proceed to try to bite and scratch me 😢 I know his signs so I always back off as soon as he starts that but he literally follows me until he gets a bite in. Half the time I end up feeding him bc that seems to be what will shut him up lol but I also know that might just be making it worse. What do I do??????? 🥺🤧😱
Help help help!! 😫
My 3 month Bengal boy Sam is very talkie. Making sounds about everything. I'm going crazy when trying to understand are everything alright or he needs something.
Awesome video. Made me rethink some of my methods for our cat sunshine
Doesn't a raw diet increase the cat's risk of infection to toxoplasmosis?
My Bengal is 13 years old. Not a normal cat. Best cat I’ve ever had. The female passed due to kidney issues. She was a 14 year old Bengal
Sorry for your loss.
so beautiful Celestial is a star and she needs a agent
I own a marble bengal, he was lost in the fields we took him on as a pet from animal rescue. He was two then now he's 5 years old and l love him yes they scratch he can bite very hard if frustrated but to me he is my boy. That's his name boy, he sleeps with me and we cuddle up till morning very clever and gets his way but l don't mind that is who we live for our boy
I have a bengal kitten of 4months and she's exactly what you have mentioned. It's really a good and valuable information, thank you for helping us with the informations. Just have one question, sometimes my cat is very aggressive and frequently bites and scratches a lot and run around. Can you please give me a solution for this and the some tips to train my cat. Thank you.
Generally speaking, Bengals get aggressive if they are bored, someone is provoking them, or they aren't feeling well. Figure out why they’re aggressive, and then you can workout a solution.
Good thing my bengal cat has my other cat but sadly i had a third cat but it sadly passed away 😢 my bengal really misses him
I learned some new things about beng-gall cats
My friend is a vet. She recommended we get a boy bengal. I've had cats all my life. My kitten is almost 6 months and he's wide open! But he's still easier than all my girl siamese cats!
When I just got my Bengal he was very cuddly and would always sit on you’re lap. But now he doesn’t do that anymore does anyone have advice?
I like this video a lot although l disagree with allowing these cats outside, where l live many cats outdoors get feline aids and die.
I have two boys; brown (black) spotted tabby (by name Ash Jade) and melanistic (by name Onyx).
excited job
My Bengal is wild.
She doesn't want clapped or picked up 😢
My friends Bengal keeps attacking me. I try to pet him and when that doesn't work I stop. He bites and scratches.
Adopted 3 month old snow lynx bengal
I will be purchasing a Bengal, her name will be Maryjane 😎
My bengal cat doesn’t seem interested in going outside. I’ve been trying to show him that he can go outside on the balcony, but he runs back inside. Should I keep trying to make him go outside?
I’d say let him do it on his terms. Don’t try to force him.
I am getting a Bengal cat tomorrow
we have 2 bengals and they goregous
India is beautiful and full of energy, but very sweet and loving.
I have 2 bengal kittens that are both 4 months old
What I always wanted
What is the maximum time to keep your bengal cat alone, if you work from 8-16 or 9-17 and it's taking 30-45 min to get to work and back?
If you have to leave them for a prolonged time due to work, it’s best to get 2 together because they’ll amuse each other and keep each other company.
I totally agree, but not everyone can afford 2 cats and I still didn't get answer to my question.
All of this applies to Savannah cats too!
I adopted a small gray Tabby from my animal clinic job left at amazingly our back door with a tiny black kitten…Grayling Daniel weighed 1.87 pounds and his Sister .97 a black cat. At that time I was engaged and we wanted a male cat…they said the black cat has been adopted but the tabby is still available….he’s the male. I adopted him and he was tiny and a little fuzzy…then one day he strode into the living room long tail high…..I said David…he’s not a Tabby that’s a Bengal!!! We did a DNA and he’s 95%Bengal and 5%Maine Coon….we adore him….he has his own room, cat tree and a smart TV we leave on at night on a cat channel…..he’s so big now…would I change it…no..he was a gift from Heaven. He’s a wonderful cat. I have to sometimes remind him his Sisters are a lot older but he’s learning…now he’s over a year old❤️😻
That's so crazy, I pretty much had the same thing happen! We adopted a grey "tabby" then our vet told us he is a Bengal mix. We were like "ooooooh, that explains so much"
I’m trying to figure out how a cat can be 95% bengal.
They are a wild cat hybrid with a domesticated cat...and not all bengals have the same percentage of Asian leopard cat genes.
@@GilaMonster971 I suppose that would mean that they align with a typical Bengal gene type (Bengals as a breed have been around several decades) as opposed to other domestic breeds. I don't think they mean mostly wild cat, just mostly bengal
@@Ash-fo3ii But how much of a percentage dictates whether a cat is a bengal? For example my bengal is an F1 it’s 50/50 an Asian leopard cat and a abassynian. But there are many other F numbers that water down the genes and most bengals are more domesticated cat than a Asian leopard cat. It’s impossible to be 95% “bengal” since it’s a hybrid cat. Whoever did that genealogy test lied.
@@GilaMonster971 whoever gets these tests is a bit full of it tbh. Breeding or buying these cats is unethical, so idk how much vets give a damn about the genetic purity of your cat. F1 through F4 is a metric for breeders who want to make money off of living creatures. But hey, they only wish they were as successful as the sociopaths that breed dogs. Breeding is gross...period.
Mine followed me like Velcro ❤❤
I want one......
1:40 not true😤😤😤
What you say about Bengals are also common to the other cats. They are bigger, end of differences.
❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
Yee I'm an owner, it came to my door as a kitten💀
I got a Bengal cat and it truly hates me 😢 I’m thinking about selling him because I’ve spent almost $$$$ on training, took it to the vet and it’s healthy so that not why he’s mad plus he was so friendly at the vet, literally it was like another cat. He breaks my things then looks at me and walks away. He’s scratched all my expensive furniture 😢. My ex got him for me after we broke up and I’m truly convinced he knew this cat was evil
Seems he’s evil only to you though..
@@thecagdot 🧐🥺
@@qll8840you should sell it
NO you should not let them outside. You even listed all the reasons
My cat Mozart is great just working on the diarrhea issues
