killler 2 #1 December 10, 2008 I need help in finding a bengal kitten... Some time ago a picture of a bengal cat was posted on the site. I saved it and my wife fell in love with the look of the cat. Were looking for new kitten and would like to find the breeder... Thanks for the help Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hungarianchick 0 #3 December 10, 2008 I think you may need to do a little bit more than just "look at a picture" a see the pretty spots. Bengals are unique, need a bit more attention than average cats, very doglike in nature. They like water. Owners have been reporting "litter box issues". They also cost around $500 for a pet quality kitten. Have you considered adoption? 4-5 million unwanted cats and dogs are euthanized every year in the US alone... Just a thought...

CSpenceFLY 1 #4 December 10, 2008 Be very careful where you get it. We looked at them a few years back and found alot to be desired in the breeders we looked at. The wrong breeder and the wrong cat can be dangerous. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eeneR 3 #7 December 10, 2008 Sorry man, she is right. Bengal cats are not for the average cat owner. A friend of mine has two of them and they are not your average cat. Take the intelligence of a Border Collie and mix it with the agility of a cat. BIG TROUBLE if you do not actually train them. His cats can open the fridge and get into it, they can turn on the stove, turn on the bath tub and a myriad of other scary things if not handled correctly. They are an amazing breed of cat, hell I don't like cats but this breed is awesome (I am a dog person). I say please make sure you spend some time with the breeders, talk to them and understand this is no where near your normal tabby cat.She is not a "Dumb Blonde" - She is a "Light-Haired Detour Off The Information Superhighway." eeneR TF#72, FB#4130, Incauto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

guppie01 0 #13 December 10, 2008 Bengals are beautiful, high maintenance, spirited cats!

missann1320 0 #15 December 10, 2008 Hey there! Happy Hump Day!! As everyone has said they are amazing breeds... I waited a long time til' I was ready to handle one of these guys so be ready! I bought mine (~$750 for the bengal/his spots and an additional $300 for the flight and papers) and flew him in (to Michigan) from this breeder: http://bengalkittens.info/index.htm They were very professional and had an awesome bloodline. Photos attached of my crazy little man who is just now a year old along with a video... They are very trainable inside (fetch, hand tricks, etc) outside (on a leash or to scare birds/squirrels).

Shit, sounds like they could sit with the kids; for a lot less than a babysitter. Probably do a better job of keeping 'em in line too." . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sickandtwisted 0 #19 December 10, 2008 You also need to check your local laws. Bengal cats are illegal in some states. Bengals became legal in Georgia 2 years ago. You can own them here as long as they are F4 generation or farther.Skymama stalker #69!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
