(115,693 posts)Bengal Cats are no more prone to behavior problems then other cat breeds or moggies. They have no more or fewer litterbox issues than any other cat breed, nor are they more or less aggressive then other cats. The same triggers that cause other purebred cats and non-breed cats to have behavior problems can trigger a Bengal Cat to have challenges. Even though Bengal Cats do not have more behavior challenges then other cats, they are not the cat for everyone.
Like all breeds of cats, they have special characteristics that may or may not fit into your lifestyle. Before adopting cats, do your homework. Dont base the decision to adopt a Bengal solely on its stunning looks. Bengals are very active and extremely intelligent. Many enjoy playing in water and they need high places to hang out. As a breed, Bengals are affectionate, but usually arent lap cats, although there are exceptions. They love to be with their people and they enjoy playing.
Bengals are attention seekers. They will go to great lengths to encourage their favorite people to interact with them. Bengal Cats do not do well left all alone for hours every day without a companion to keep them company. Like all cats, they do need lots of environmental stimulation. One can never have too many toys or tall places when living with Bengal Cats.
