We bought our bengal from Maejuellie Bengals in january 2014 and yoko has filled our hearts with love, fun and laughter , we have never come across such nice and caring cat people. We bought our second bengal in july 2015 and called her Ellie (like her Maeju ellie ) and it has been the best decision we have ever made , they are constantly playing , hugging and following us around the flat . I would definitely look for the right breeder first and foremost , we paid a little more but its been 100% worth it :) 5*****

Love Love Bengals, truly can't stop with one...and they are so intuitive and connected to you,mthat we are starting a therapeutic Bengal program to help those dealing with Autism, learning differences, mood disorders and end of Life issues...highly recommend Bengal cats...would caution everyone though to check out the breeder(s) that you buy from, we had one breeder that was a very bad experience selling us a sickly kitten that died in less than 2 weeks and gave us replacement that died in less than 2 months, however....we had a bengal before this experience so we knew this was atypical and then have learned these breeders operate a bengal mill and breed too closely and so produce Lot of sickly cats/kittens.....so that is MOST important ...Research breeders, attend TICA cat show and see bengals and talk to folk there! Otherwise heartbreak with unethical breeders ...but sure this is true with all breeds of animals, always few unethical breeders! But you will LOVE owning a bengal cat or 2 or 3 or more of them!:)

They really are, they love water, fun and games. My two always come to sit in the room i'm in just to lounge around near me. They do tend to have two modes chilled and wanting cuddles or hyper and cashing each other round the house in a wirlwind. There meow is different to other cats they seem to have lots of different meows and you get to learn what each one means. Theres the I want fuss meow. This food is great meow. Where have you gone meow? Please open this door. I want to play or even whats this new thing? Just don't leave one alone for long periods they get lonely -having two helps. Make sure you get yours from a reputable breeder as cats learn their 'people skills' most between 2-9 weeks of age. If they have not had alot of human company they can become nervous. They bond easily to other Bengals, I bought mine sperately, after about 3 days of grumpiness, they are now inseperable friends. Where one goes the other follows. Overall, I love them, there great bundles of fun.

I have a 5 y/o sepia snow marble, and a 4 month old spotted Lynx snow Bengal. I am sold! However, these cats do take a very dedicated and patient owner. Not for anyone who wants a lap-cat. They are independant, yet affectionate. They are bold and couragious, yet easily become distressed when alone. You will be woken before sunrise to feed them, you will have to move every ornament, you will have to ensure all the cupboards close properly (to prevent accidental poisoning), you can never run a bath with hot water first (as they often leap into the water). They can have tricky tummies and trial and error normally solves which brand is best suited. Dont get one of these sensitive cats unless you are willing to have long conversations, as well as understand and use cat body-language correctly. ('NO' means nothing to a bengal. Rather hiss at him, and he will stop.) Neglect or boredom will result in behavioural problems. They are cats, but so much MORE. Your love and devotion will be rewarded a thousand times over! Please dont get a bengal unless you are willing to literally live a bengal 24 hrs a day. I absolutely love mine. Wouldnt change it for the world

beautiful, fun, and playful a Bengal will ensure you never have a dull moment. willful and determined also describe this furry whirlwind. they are both loving and independant rolled up in one...some times a lap cat - sometimes a terror that will go to any lenghs to get and hold your attention. I have found that my boy doent take to other animals very well - yet will curl up on a strangers lap for hours. loves sitting on shoulders as you do housework and extremly inquisitve about everything you do, will also follow you about like a dog.

My bengal lola is crazy, she's great fun to play with. she now well and truly runs the house by far the best breed of cats for looks and personality ask any bengal owner they all say the same. for that wild look with sweet loving pet nature the bengal is a great breed.

If you want a chilled out cat DON'T get Bengal! If you want a fun cat with bags of personality this is the breed for you!
Heehee!

Bengal cats can offer anyone loving loyal companionship. They are more like dogs than cats in a lot of ways. They are very trainable and very active. They are very suited to indoor living. They are very active and when on the go they are a bit of a whirlwind, they also love nothing more than to spend their chill out time with human company and can make you feel so loved by your cat. I love my bengal and cannot see myself ever being without one.

We bought a Shundor female kitten at the end of 2005 from the breeders .....www.shundorbengals.com. After visiting many breeders,we found their bengal kittens were definately the best in quality and personality ....Many other breeders rear their kittens in pens with little contact with people making them shy and timid cats....but Shundor kittens are raised in a busy household with children resulting in balanced and confident cats who arent frightened of people ... You will love owning a bengal as they are full of fun and personality and love water unlike other cats!! They are a lovely breed but ensure you choose your breeder wisely! Mandy and Mark

my husband purchased a bengal kitten for me for my birthday I can honestly say that this breed is one of the most amusing breeds I have ever owned. Their personality is amazing these cats actually like water which means you never get a bath in peace trust me. They are also very intelligent. Beautiful markings they are a light brown colour with dark brown spots and stripes on their paws their coat has a shine to it which makes it look like glitter their fur is very soft.
