What is a Bengal
like?
As their activity and play requirements
are high, this is not a cat best left
to its own devices for long periods of
time, as they can be quite mischievous
and destructive when bored. If an owner
is likely to spend much of the day away
from the cat, having another
high-energy feline companion to occupy
your Bengal is an excellent idea.
Water
Bengal cats can take a
great deal of interest in running water
and often don't mind getting wet. Most
Bengal owners have stories about their
cat's affection for running water or
even jumping in a sink or tub.
Additionally, Bengal cats are very
high-energy, intelligent, and curious,
and so are particularly interactive
with their human housemates, wanting to
be in the middle of whatever the human
is engaged in, and often following the
human around the house as household
chores are performed. Bengal cats have
been known to play games with their
owners, such as "fetch" and
"hide-and-seek."
Vocalizing
Bengals tend to
vocalize to communicate with their
humans, and are quite capable of
jealousy and spitefulness if they feel
that another feline is getting more
attention, or if they are being
ignored. The other side of this coin is
that they are also very affectionate
towards and playful with their humans.
