I love this breed and i am seriously thinking on getting one, however their prices range from 1.5k-2.5k Do you think it makes sense to get a Bengal cat? Anyone have any experience or advice with Bengals ? Also, I work full time and live alone, but I think if I have enough toys the cat would be alright until I get back home
No. This breed of cat needs a lot of attention and shouldn’t be left alone all day without a companion cat or human. I’ve looked into buying one myself and even visited some breeders. Also, it’s really a more humane idea to adopt a cat from a shelter—even if not as glamorous as having an amazing cat like this. I really don’t think it’s worth it unless you can absolutely give it more attention on par with a dog. It’s just not like a typical cat you think of as a generally solitary creature.
This is actually good recommendation, I'll add that I will most likely adopt a dog next year, once my fiance moves in with me. It'll only be one year that I'll live with the cat alone.
You should adopt a cat! I hope you’ll consider it rather than buying a cat from a pet store or a breeder. There are so many dogs and cats out there that need homes, you could make a difference for one of them 🙂
I know, It brakes my heart, I just can't have them all! Being someone that has adopted 3cats and many dogs during my life, I just want to get this cat breed once and for all. I know that if I visit a shelter, I'll walk out with an adopted and adorable kitten, but I would really like a Bengal.
I never understand why people want pets
I never understand why people want kids
What's really strange is why dogs want humans.
I want to adopt a cat but it seems that every adult cat from the Seattle Humane Society is old with a litany of health issues that I'm not interested in managing. I want a companion, and not just nurse some old animal in its twilight years until it dies.
Get a Bobcat. If you leave food in your yard they will come to hang out
Adopt don't shop. There are plenty of other cats, and they don't have to be complete oldies for you to adopt. Check out some foster kitten accounts on Instagram, and you can follow kittens as they are raised and see which ones might be the best fit for you. They partner with local shelters so you can arrange for adoption through them.
I have a 4-year-old Bengal. Got her when she was 2 months old. She’s like a insanely beautiful woman that’s also kind of crazy. My body is covered in scratches(from her biting and climbing all over me), the door frames throughout my house are covered in scratches (from her jumping up, latching on, and sliding down), she’s loud, needs a ton of attention, gets jealous pretty easily, she wakes me up at 3am almost every morning to eat (even if she has food out), she needs a clean litter box or she’ll pee outside of the litter box, if she gets mad at me she’ll pee on the bed (about 10 times). She’s insanely smart, most would say she’s too smart. It took her about two years to warm up to cuddling with us and that was a lot of work. On the flip side. I love her to pieces. She’s amazing.
Thanks you for all the responses, I just want to add that I am pro-aroption, I've adopted 3 cats that are currently living with my parents (just moved to us last year). But in this case, I really would like to have a Bengal. On another note, my fiance will move in with me sometime around March next year, so it's only one year that the cat will be "alone"
Go for what you want. Never let SJW tell you what to do
I've wanted a Bengal forever, but cost aside, there are so many animals needing homes that I always end up adopting from a shelter.

Get Siberian cat instead. Just read about those. Or get any cat from shelter.
