Bengal Kittens

Bengal Cats

Bengal cats have a very nice personality. They are very devoted to the owner and are in strike contrast to your ordinary aloof cats. Bengal cats always want to be the center of attention. They are where the action is. However this particular personality trait puts a toll on their owners. You need to give back to them this devotion and love. In this respect the personality of Bengal cats is very similar to dogs. They possess the same loyalty, love and devotion to their owners as dogs do. I can even go as far as to claim that Bengals are a dog lover's cat. Why? Because rarely do you find a cat breed that follows you around, likes playing, is not aloof and can even be trained to do tricks. Yes, Bengals can be trained to do tricks for an example just type "Amazing Cat Tricks by Kaiser the Bengal" in your search and watch a video of some impressive tricks performed by this cat.

If you have kids teach them to respect the freedom of your Bengal and not to constrain the cat. They like to play and be around your family members. They will also treat kids nicely if handled properly.

Bengal Kitten Characteristics

Another unusual personality trait that Bengal cats have is their affinity for water. Bengals are hydrophilic or water-loving. Although this personality trait may not necessarily apply to all Bengals it is still wide spread enough to be considered a general trait of this breed. What does this mean for an ordinary person? It means you need to watch out when you take a shower or a bath since your cat may suddenly join you. They are distracted by running water and usually come over to investigate the source of it. They like playing with running water and can make a mess out of drinking bowl. That's why sometimes it is wise to purchase drinking fountains to avoid them messing around with drinking bowls. However for cat owners this is rarely a problem or a hassle. In fact often it is very amusing and entertaining to watch your cat paw at a kitchen tub or trying to catch the shower water.

Bengal cats have an excellent personality but they are definitely not for everyone. They require an active and loving family that can give them the attention and love that they require. They will be fine with children providing that their movement and freedom will not be constrained by kids constantly hugging and cuddling them. They have some unique personality traits that avid pet lovers will definitely want to explore. Some will love to teach their Bengal a few tricks. Others will amuse themselves while watching their cat trying to walk on a pool cover or watch it play in the kitchen sink.
