This article looks at how Bengal cat owners perceive the behaviour and health of their cats. A study looked at the relationship between 256 Bengal cats and their owners. They lived in Flanders, Wallonia (Belgium), and the Netherlands. This is a European outlook on the Bengal cat. These are the findings (I have added …
Sheffield, UK-news and views: Barbara Neal claims that her neighbour’s Bengal cat attacked her savagely without provocation (see my comment at base of page, she did provoke the cat without realising it). She says that her neighbour’s Bengal cat is allowed to wander freely and had been coming into her home. She says that …

The public might know that cats of this breed can be first-generation (F1) or, for example, sixth generation (F6) from the wild. The first-generation Bengal cats have a lot more wild cat character than the average domestic cat. …
Once again this is not strictly a question about Bengal cats funnily enough. I’ve just written a post about Maine Coons making good pets and this topic is very similar.
