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".

Are Bengal cats high energy?

As a breed, yes. The GCCF describes the Bengal as confident, active, curious, athletic and energetic, and says it needs to be kept engaged with toys, tunnels and high shelves. PDSA says Bengals need plenty of mental stimulation and chances to exercise. Ask the rescue how active this particular cat is.

Can Bengal cats go outside?

The GCCF says it is not a good idea to let Bengals roam free, but they can be trained to walk on a harness and lead. If a cat lives indoors, International Cat Care says it needs a stimulating home with space to climb and daily play. The rescue may also have its own advice for this cat.
