What Bengals are like to live with

The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy (GCCF), which registers pedigree cats in the UK, describes the Bengal as "confident, active, curious, athletic and energetic". It is known for its spotted or marbled coat, and the GCCF says Bengals are now one of the most popular short-haired breeds, though they only appeared in the UK around 20 years ago. It says they are very sociable, enjoy the company of their human family, and are "very vocal" and can be quite strident, which "shouldn't be confused with aggression".
