Are bengals a rare breed? I hardly ever see them anywhere and I want one..
I wouldnt cringe but that into everything is true for my bengal cross Zoey...lolOriginally Posted by hissy
They are not rare, they are a controlled breed. They are also expensive to own, they are highly active and my vet literally cringes when Bengals come into his office! LOL They can get into everything- there are different levels of bengals as well-
I can vouch for them getting into everything. My Simba is always into everything he shouldn't be into He's naughty, but it's so cute when he's naughty, that I simply can't get mad at him. He's so cute about being naughty.Originally Posted by hissy

I would'nt agree. Generally they are active but bengals are just like regular cats they all have different personalities. The young ones tend to be really active but my older ones aren't as much. My females tend to be the least active. It depends on the individual cat mostly. Not all my bengals love water either.Originally Posted by hissy

Not all bengals are large. I have some that are 6 lb. adults. The ALC only gets to be about 6-10 pounds as an adult. The size comes from the domestic not the ALC.Originally Posted by Mihoshi
Bengals do require a special kind of care taker, they aren't for everyone and I've seen many of them end up in shelters because they're so large/active but visually stunning and desireable (many people impulse buy them), .
haha yes our boys do look identical. I have a similiar picture to that one also.Originally Posted by HopeHacker
Hayden sounds a lot like Simba, and I think he looks a lot like him also. Here's a picture of my little Simba the Zulu Warrior:
I can find him on top of doors, like in this picture or on top of book cases and hutches as well as on top of the kitchen cubbards. Although he's not fond of a leash, he will play fetch, like a dog, and most of the time he's the one who initiates the game of fetch by bringing me his crinkle ball for me to throw for him, and what is so cute, is he likes to leap in the air and catch it before it falls. I agree, they are loads of fun. There is never a dull moment with a Bengal around.
