So I'm moving, I can't take my brother and sister pair with me. Equally I don't want then going to people who just want free cats! They need proper care. Any ideas?

i'm a first time owner of a now 1-year-old male bengal. he's generally a good and sweet cat, but i have this huge issue with him knocking glasses off the table when he wants attention. i'm at roughly 1–3 broken glasses a week, at this rate i won't have any glasses left soon.

i do my best not to leave them around, but since i'm not living alone yet, it's sometimes hard to monitor. and it's not only glasses, it's anything that can be pushed off the table.

it only happens when someone is in the room, which makes it really hard to just chill or work while he's around. and it happens regardless of how much play he's already had. i could have walk him outside for a full hour, and the second we're back he's straight to the knocking :')

i've read it's good to ignore it so he doesn't get the 'reward' of attention, but that's pretty hard when he's about to knock something precious i forgot to hide. and i don't want to live without all the stuff.

is there a way to actually change this pattern and the attention-seeking? he's very food motivated but hasn't been trained at all yet if that matters.

He took a while but now uses his new bed

Hi all,

I recently rehomed a 6 year old snow mink bengal named Sienna. The first few days she was really loving and playful. I worked on attempting to set some boundaries like no jumping on the counters, don't claw the couch, claw the scratch post. Said No and backed away if she would scratch which at that time was rare.

Now we are about a month in and she has become more aggressive.

She doesn't listen, which I understand she is a cat, but she keeps scratching everything except the post and cat condo we got. A lot of the time now if we approach her she thinks we're playing and it's okay to roll around and get her claws out. Also she has started biting wires which in the beginning I was surprised that she didn't care for about 3 weeks. This just started happning the past few days.

We do play with her. We got a Rope with a treat, a Caterpillar cat teaser, catstages flutter dome (which she's strong and just drags around).

I'm worried she is either lonely or can't get her energy out with us playing which causes her to act up.

I was lucky enough to adopt 2 bengals last week and they have been transitioning well, litter robot is going great and they are eating decently. I previously fostered cats and kittens before adopting them, and I am wondering if this could be a possibility down the road? I know bengals are territorial, and I don’t want to stress them out but I also want to make an impact to save cats who are about to be euthanized.

My cat (7 years old, male bengal) has been having intermittent vomiting that’s become more frequent recently. A lot of it has been bright yellow bile, often in the early morning before breakfast.

Aside from this his behaviour has been normal. He's always wanting food, playful, active, cuddly. Vomiting is almost always at the same time (4-5 AM). He has lost a fair bit of weight which is concerning.

We did bloodwork, which was normal, and today he had an abdominal ultrasound. The ultrasound was also essentially normal, no masses, obstruction, or obvious signs of IBD.

My vet’s theory is that it could be a dietary intolerance. He explained that some cats simply don’t tolerate certain ingredients, even if they’ve eaten them for years. We’ve started a strict novel-protein rabbit diet and are going to stick with it for at least two weeks before making any conclusions.

I’m relieved the imaging was normal, but I’m also trying to manage my expectations and understand what other people’s experiences have been while we wait to see if the diet helps.

Such a stoic and beautiful goof. This is a bed tent that was set up in my living room.

Hi Bengal friends!

We're currently the proud parents of 2 Bengals (1/2 siblings) that we love to pieces - they'll be 2yrs old this August. Freyja (teeny girl~8.5 lbs) doesn't really like the rough play from her brother Loki (~15lbs muscle boy).

We're wondering, do boy Bengals just play rougher, wrestle, and jump on each other?

And, would getting another boy be a good addition for that heavy play factor he clearly would desire, that she wants nothing of?

Freyja is perfectly content to snuggle with me, watch the bird feeder, and hunt anything that moves. She's definitely more serious. Where he's just a derpy playful boy, that comes across almost like a bully, as she doesn't want any of his shenanigans.

Just adopted this Snow Bengal kitten, he’s only just about 10 weeks old 🤍🤎

What's your Kitty's favourite toy? Paco loves these crochet thingies I make out of local alpaca/wool.

He loves draping his paws over the side of things.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some advice when talking to breeders for Bengals. Some back story I had a Bengal cat for 20 years of my life. She was my whole entire world until she had to be put down due to old age and quality of life (health issues from old age). This was 3 ago and I allowed time for grief and acceptance. I'm at the point in life where I want to purchase another Bengal kitten (one right now and a sibling to follow).

The issue I am having right now is some reputable breeders I've reached out to have been pretty rude in responding. I am not quite sure what to make of this because I have experience with Bengal cats. I have the time and money to put towards a new kitten(s). Overall, I think I am a pretty decent or qualified candidate for a new kitten. My main priority when looking for a Bengal kitten is the health from the breeder and to ensure that the kittens have the shots and the test testing needed to set up the kitten for a healthy long life.

Some specific breeders when responding to my inquiries are short, and the tone doesn't come off very pleasant (like they don't want to sell specific kittens listed online). I know that some of these breeders have amazing reviews and are very reputable. So I wanna know is it me or what do I do in these situations?

Hello! I’m getting a Bengal kitten soon - she’ll come at almost 14 weeks with a fairly large kitten pack (some free katkin, litter she’s used to, bed, toys etc). And already fixed (as is our current boy cat who’s a domestic short-hair goblin).

Here’s my prep list - what else would you recommend I do?

- she’s going to be confined to a room until our current boy gets used to her scent and she’s settled a bit and then introduced as calmly as she can, and I’ve taken two weeks leave to supervise and bond with her

- upgrading the cat tree to a bigger/more robust set-up, more scratch poles etc (current boy already scratches the carpet because partner lets him, don’t want to encourage it in her!) and her own toys so current boy keeps his favourites to himself at least at first

- introducing her to our current cat slowly and making sure she knows he’s in charge out of the two of them early on including letting him tell her off a bit if need be

- she’ll get daily supervised outdoor time in our big garden (current boy harness trained so same for her), plenty of play time indoors, and I’m hoping to teach her tricks to keep her mind active too (I grew up with a border collie and my family have only had working breeds since so I’m expecting similar games/exercise commitment!)

- people socialising as much as I can to minimise the chance of her being an anti-human attack cat but also let her choose how cuddly she wants to be, if she decides to show affection by following me about shouting I’ll take it 😆

- slowly extending alone time until we’re confident that the two of them won’t fight and she won‘t be scared in her new home if we go out

Also, two specific questions:

- breeder feeds her both katkin and untamed, which is better or are both totally ok for her if i want to pick one of the other? (Or other suggested brands?)? Any recommendations for treats as well?

- name suggestions welcome! She’s a cool-tone brown (silver parents) and current contenders are Rosie and Pepper, open to more suggestions along those vibes! Current boy named Mocha so would rather avoid anything with both those sounds as he does know his name!

I am fully expecting a smart little chaos monkey and can’t wait 🙂

His new baguette is a hit apparently.

Ok they weren’t his cars. They were left by the skate park and we played with them, then put them back.

Wanted to share my beautiful girl. Shakira was born October 15, 2024. She died July 17, 2026.

Our vet did find a heart murmur at her initial visit and we agreed to watch. When Shakira was about a year old, she fell from a chair, briefly passed out and woke up confused. The vet recommended a cardiologist consult and an echo.

The echo results were very poor and essentially a “guarded” prognosis was given. We started plavix. When we went out of town, Shakira boarded with our vet.

Late October 2025, while at the vet, she developed back leg paralysis. The vet suspected saddle thrombus but said she wasn’t acting like she was in pain. Shakira was dragging herself around and eating and using the litter box.

We took her home and did PT with her and set up an accessible living area for her. We recovered near full function and strength except for the occasional stanky leg. She wasn’t as hyperactive as she was as a young kitten (she was a parkour enjoyer), but she was over two year old. She was as active as our two other adult cats.

We came home from dinner on Friday, July 16th. The other two cats met us at the door. We couldn’t find Shakira but heard her crying faintly. She was in our bathroom, on the rug, panting and crying out in discomfort.

We took her to a late night vet. They wanted to euthanize her immediately. I explained the above history and recovery. We chose to take her to another emergency vet.

The second vet hospital was chaotic. I detailed the history and asked for cardiology. Cardiology was unavailable. I asked the ER vet to contact our regular vet who knew Shakira well.

The plan was to give pain meds and oxygen. The ER vet didn’t want to give lasix and digitoxin. I asked them to give Shakira some time to see if she could rally and we could make a plan (husband was out of town).

We left her that night without a proper goodbye. I believe she died shortly after we left. The vet said she decompensated quickly but I wished I would have stayed with her.

Shakira was an amazing cat. She was gorgeous, smart and funny. She would do tricks like speaking, spinning around and sitting for tricks. Shakira had many fancy toys and play homes but her favorite place was cuddling under a blanket with me. She was my little Velcro girl and would sit your lap whenever you sat down (yes, even on the toilet). She never wanted to be alone and would have a tantrum if she was ignored (ie, she would head-butt my rear.

After her dx, I treated her like a toddler. I spoiled her because I never knew how much time I had with her left. I think she knew too.

Your suffering is over, Shakira. I’ll carry your broken heart with me now.

Just having a nosey, I have my gorgeous male F5 Bengal Floki here he is a snow lynx and I always thought he was meant to have blue eyes but his are almost cream with blue centres wondered if anyone else’s snows had this for contact he is now 4.5 months.
In personality he lives up to his of a little chaos Viking

It’s almost like they’re getting less blue over time !

They are speed
