I am just about to get 2 boy Bengal cats at the end of December, can anyone give me advise on owning these cat?
as i have only owned normal domestic cats before, never a pedigree and am a little worried about what ive let myself in for.

- there will be a web site specifically aimed at care of Bengal cats. Just type in Google and you are sure to find the advice you need
- Aren't there books on this? Like "Dummies Guide to Bengal cats"? They have For Dummies books on specific breeds of dogs.
- They are very active, love water, get into everything, are loyal to their owners and as their are two of them will get into all sorts of mischief. You need to make sure that you get them from a reputable breeder as the balance of leopard to domestic cat has to be right or you could be in for trouble. You need to set boundaries and make sure you are firm with them when they are doing something you don't like. You also need to get a really good activity centre as Bengals love to climb, if you don't they will climb you and the furniture, A scratching post will also be a good buy. You should feed them a high quality food as well to keep their coats in top condition. Don't buy plastic feeding bowls as it can give them acne on their chins. They are very active cats and can come across as being a bit naughty but they are very loving and like Siamese they tend to devote all their love to one particular and are a joy to own. I hope you enjoy them.

- Bengals are VERY active cats and smart as heck. You did right by adopting 2 because of how active they are. I'm assuming these kittens will be neutered before you get them. They mature early and you don't want them to start spraying. The care is like any other cat - HIGH quality food (canned and dry). Many Bengal owners do feed raw, but you don't have to. If you decide to feed raw, please contact your breeder or other Bengal breeders for advise. You will need one or two tall treehouses (be sure they are bottom heavy and will not tip over) I'd get a good 6-7 foot tall treehouse.
