1. Bengals Very pron to funny tummies, You have to watch what they eat. They are demanding cats who need alot of attention. They dont tend to get on well with other cats They are highly strung. If this will be your first cat i would say NO its not a good idea, they need an experienced owner
2. I have a bengal mix. He's wilder than the other cats, not crazy, just wild. He moves differently, isn't near as laid back, panics easily, and has a very sensitive stomach. Also has a genetic auto-immune disease. He can't have wheat, corn, or most other grains. I either cook for him or have to buy expensive specialty food. Most of the time, he's loving and sweet. But when he goes off his rocker for whatever reason, expect to bleed and bleed a lot. He's beautiful, but I"d rather have three other housecats than one of him sometimes.
3. A litte different to manager compared to the average tabby!
4. If you have Bengal Leopard cat, you cant have other pets or kids at home.They need a lot of attention, they really fast can come jealous on some of your friend.
5. Depends on the cat. Some hate other cats some love making feline friends. Some love being around humans some seem to think humans are only good for cleaning the litter box and bringing food. The only constant I've found with Bengals is that none of them are lap cats, some I've met were very friendly and would come up to people to be petted, one would even let her human carry her around, but they don't like to just sit and be loved on for extended periods of time. Not a great cat for small kids, they tend to lash out if you do anything that displeases them, and something like breathing on them can displease them.
6. Well they aren't as touchy with water as other cats are.
7. bengal cats are typically friendly, loving intelligent and inquisitive, they love playing with water, they need quite a lot of space and a fair amount of grooming. They have a look of a wild cat but the sweet disposition of a fireside moggy : )
8. We have a 9 months Bengal. Very independent cat, extremely affectionate and very playful. We also got a British Shorthair and they adore each other!! If it is going to be the only cat you have, make sure you spend a lot of time with him as Bengals are very active cats.
9. I have a bengal and she has just given birth to 4 gorgeous wee mixed kittens. She is ever so friendly, loves water, has even jumped in the shower on occasion. Is very inquisitive and loves to chase things around. She wont come up on my knee but if i pick her up and place her there she wont leave even if i try to taunt her away. She became the matriach as soon as she settled in my house as a kitten. She lets me pick up her kittens and purrs when i come to see her in her kitten box with them.
10. Umm, I was surprised at some of the answers you've got. And I think you mean Bengal cats - the ones that are at least four generations removed from the Asian Leopard cat ancestors. Well, these guys tend to be happy, friendly, confident cats. Quite intelligent & prone to getting up to mischief. They love to play. It seems to depend upon the individual whether or not they are a lap cat. I've several Bengals. Spiderpig just loves sitting on my lap, he purrs loudly, he likes lying next to me in bed & rolls over on his back for his tummy to be rubbed. Fuzzy loves being stroked but will only sit on my lap when she wants to sit on my lap. Rico likes walking outside on a harness & he just loves the dog, they are often found cuddled up together. The downside is that they know how to open the fridge & open cupboards. They'll knock over the bin. They think that they can eat anything & everything - though they do have different tastes - favourite non-cat foods include cake, banana & advocado. They can be prone to tempermental tummies - but sometimes considering what they may have raided out of the bin, I'm not surprised. You do have to be careful with their food when they are kittens though. If you were considering getting one, then try to make sure that the parents are friendly cats & that the kittens have been handled often & socialised from two weeks old. Hopefully, reared in house & not outside in a cattery. I say check the personality of the parents because there are the odd few Bengals who are not as friendly & outgoing as the others - who are a little bit shyer & wary of being touched. However, you generally find that if the parents (especially the mother) are happy, confident cats, then the little one will be too.
