helenp Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I was wondering if anyone has a bengal or has had experience of having them. My dear hubby has said I could have one for Christmas . We already have 3 doggies, and 2 moggies and I was just wondering how he/she would settle in with the pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Seb Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I havent had them myself but a few friends have them they are very relaxed and friendly and love attention, she has had a few problems with hers picking up bugs quite easily but im not sure if this is something prone to the breed with immune systems being low or hers just seem to catch things easily!!! You are very luckly to have a christmas present like that to look forward to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellekatz Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 My nearly 9 year old bengal is Trouble with a capital "T"!! Has bee ever since we got her - and very vocal in a siamese type of way -in fact thats the bit I can't stand. She looks good but sounds like a fishwife mostof the time. I would never have another one for that reason but I dont think she is necessarily typical of the breed. The kids love her to bits. She isn't a cuddly cat though and won't have anything to do with any of the others apart form out Abyssiniain who she adores!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Seb Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Oh yea, i forgot to add they are very vocal as well! It is aparently something to do with the breed, One of mine has burmese in her and she is VERY vocal!! I like it though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 I've only had bengal crosses - very talkative, and in the case of Minnie, very prone to wandering. Evie and Minnie were/are incredibly affectionate and Minnie fitted in very well to our multi-cat household. She is death on two legs though to small furries, and she's a total tart, wandering in and out of people's houses and making up to strangers in the street. I think they're fab cats.

fluffyfeet Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 My FIL had a Bengal cat called Carter, and I fell in love instantly. Very distinctive personality, beautiful looking and very free-spirited. Broke my heart when his ex-wife took him away as part of the divorce settlement claiming he belonged to her! I would love one - what a wonderful OH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
