What makes a Bengal Cat Different
Compared with ordinary domestic cats, Bengal cats differ in the following ways, which mean that you must approach caring for this breed in a unique manner:
Physiology: Bengal cats are "made" differently than their other domestic cat cousins. The shape of their face and their ears have an exotic appearance. They are generally stronger and more athletic than other cat breeds.
Love of water: A cat that loves to play in the water or even swim? Unbelievable, right? Yet, Bengal cats are renowned for their love of the water. They may even jump into the bathtub or shower with you!
Level of activity: These cats are highly energetic! Plus they are extremely bright and engaging. Forget what you might think about lazy cats, lounging around all day. If you are thinking about getting a Bengal cat, be sure to plan to engage them, so they do not get bored.
Loyalty: This is my favorite trait of the Bengal cat. They are very affectionate, friendly, and loyal. Not your typical effective pet. A Bengal will greet you and interact with you much like a dog.
Trainability: Bengals are very trainable because they are smart, agile, and loyal. Can you believe a cat that can be trained to roll over, walk on hind legs and heel next to its owner?
Appearance: One look at a Bengal, and you know you are seeing an exotic cat breed. Their amazingly soft coat is adorned with "wild markings" such as rosettes, sots and stripes.
