Bengal Kittens for Sale
The beautiful but quirky Bengal cat came about as a result of an American cat breeder that had a fancy for the Asian Leopard Cat. The end result is a lithe and agile domesticated feline with the lovely ocelot-like markings of the Asian Leopard. However – while some people have shown reservations in keeping one of these cats due to the suggestion that the wildness of this breed has not yet been completely phased out through breeding – cat registries actually prohibit having most Bengals being too closely related to their Asian Leopard ancestors so this is not really a concern. This breed truly resembles a wild cat in its appearance while offering the benefits of keeping a domesticated cat!
A Bengal's Specific Needs
Bengals need plenty of space to run, jump, play, and exercise! As this breed is extremely athletic, relatively large compared to some other cats, muscular, and energetic it would be best to be sure to have enough play areas, safe spaces, and interactive play for this type of cat. Bengals have a coat similar in texture to the American Shorthair and similar grooming practices suit them well. Regular brushing with a slicker brush on the body and rubber brush for the more sensitive areas (the face, belly, ears and throat) will keep the coat in top condition. Most cats preferably live indoors with a moderate (40 to 55%) humidity and temperature range (67 to 75°F).
Is a Bengal Kitten Right for Me?
With this breed, raising the cat with a gentle nature and encouraging a fondness for handling is of the utmost importance. Some Bengals may seem standoff-ish at first, but will warm up quickly to a caretaker they trust. In fact, this type of cat can get very attached to their caretaker, and they can be rather loyal and sweet. However, be prepared to commit a lot of time and energy to this rambunctious breed as they require a lot of social interaction and may need more personal attention than most other breeds of cats. If you’re up to the task, though, it is a rich and rewarding experience owning the gorgeous and caring Bengal cat!
