Bengal cats are said to make good pets as they are beautiful and spend much time with their owners. They like play and often use their claws as hands. Supply them with a toy and see how they will catch and fetch it to you. However, they have retained some of the instincts peculiar for wild cats. They are good tree climbers, so supplying them with a tree is essential.
They enjoy water, which is not peculiar for most felines. Isn't this fact amazing? In fact, they will immediately start playing with water once the owners leaves the shower on. Intelligent and playful, they make good companions for children and are generally good with other cats and dogs.
Temperament depends much on the background of the Bengal cat. The greater the percentage of Asiatic Leopard blood, the wilder the pet cat is. It is recommended to buy Bengal cats that are removed at least three or four generations from the Asiatic Leopard. Otherwise, they can be hard to manage.
Bengal cats make great show cats on the condition that they are well mannered. The standard accepts such behavior as restlessness and anxiety during a show. Yet, Bengal Cats that resist any examination and are unruly during a show should be disqualified.
