- Bengals are Talkative. – Bengals have been known to be very talkative. It can be just small chirps to meowing loudly. I have heard my little kitten try to find me by meowing very loudly around the house before I call out to her.
2. Bengals can get along with dogs and other cats. – Bengals can get along with dogs and cats pretty well but if you had the Bengal before your other pets, then they can get very territorial and could cause harm. My Bengal showed a little bit of territorial to one of my other cats even though she was brought in last.
3. Bengals are very energetic. – Bengals have a lot of energy and with a lot of energy they can also cause destruction. It’s best to keep any valuables and harmful stuff locked away from your Bengal.
4. Bengals can bite or play too rough. – Bengals can be feisty at times and they can also play too rough. I try not to let my Bengal play too rough with me, it’s better to have a lot of toys to keep them entertained.
5. Bengals are hypoallergenic. – If you are allergic to cats but want a cat then a Bengal would be a good pet if you want a more exotic side. Bengals are hypoallergenic so people that are allergic to cats will not be allergic to a hypoallergenic cat.
6. Bengals like to get up in high places. – Try to keep any valuables from low and high places. Bengals like to climb and get up high and could knock things off and cause destruction.
7. Bengals love to explore. – Bengals just want to get up and start exploring. When I first brought my Bengal home, the other cats hated seeing her, so I tried to keep her to one room so that she would she would be safe from the other cats. In the end we could never confine her to one room because she got out of the room and we couldn’t figure out anymore ideas.
8. Bengals love water. – Bengals have wild DNA and not like most cats, they love water. My Bengal was playing with our 15 year old cat and she was picking on him to the point he got really mad. They just happened to be playing right next to the water dish. My Bengal flipped onto her back into the water bowl and wouldn’t move. I picked her up out of the water dish and her whole back was soaked.
9. Bengals are known to be thieves. – Bengals will take your stuff and hide them somewhere else. I am still looking for my dozen of hair bands that my cat took from my room. Out of all three of my cats, she is the only cat we ever had that would steal stuff that peeked her interest and run off with them.
10. Bengals are expensive. – You have to be prepared to put a dent in your bank account. Usually a Bengal kitten is $1,000 or more. They can range from $400 to $10,000 and that depends on the breeder and where they are located. I got my Bengal for $400 and for a snow Bengal that is really cheap. She should have been over $1,000 but since the breeder was located in a more country side and the biggest town close around had only 21,000 population, so her prices were lower.
