I have a Bengal senior who moved in with me one day and just never left (I tried not feeding him, he responded by bringing rabbits back to my house and eating their heads in my bedroom. Bengals are excellent hunters) He often folows me all the way to the shops, I have a worry that if I get Bengal kittens, they'll follow me INTO the shops and shoplift some cat treats!
Thank you for this! As a veteran with PTSD you've just saved our family and the potential new addition a TON of stress. I love the look and attitude of Nova, but those antics would have me on high alert 24 / 7.
I am a veteran diagnosed with PTSD, and you will not regret getting a Bengal. I have a female named Sallie, she is a rescue, but the fact is she rescued me. All the stated facts are correct, and we soon “Sallie” proofed the house. I cannot imagine my life without her, she has done wonders for anxiety ( she is so soft to pet). She is vocal , she is brave, smart, and she is very affectionate. She is not afraid of dogs and quite the little hunter. She has been so amazing I can’t see how someone could give her up. She will be with me for the rest of our lives.
I got a Bangle not knowing. The blood letting on my arms is every day. Mine, Loki, has his crazy time. A lazar is helpful. He’s 10 months. I damn near had him in the pool. We’re retired so I spend a ton of time with him. Really great video. Thanks.
My parents have two bengals, male and female. They are the calmest, most gentle cats they’ve ever had. They are very mellow and only have about an hour of “silly time” each day, but it’s pretty regular cat behaviour: chasing each other, playing with toys, etc. They love my parents dog and everyone gets along. Most of the time they are napping, looking out the windows… pretty common cat stuff…
We got one from the shelter to replace the tabby we had that passed away. We had no idea it was a Bengal. It was my iPhone that identified her as one when I took a picture. She is everything you talk about in this video. She's been driving us crazy but we really love her.
Oh my, Nova is a cutie! This video is excellent and now I’ve been forewarned! A neighbor lady upstairs has a pair of grown bengals. In a one bedroom apartment yet! Can you believe that!
My bengal is 12 years but he seems more like 3 years old. Still crazy and adorable. My bengal has a border collie sister and he stalkes her daily. Great fun.
Two months ago I adopted a kitten, a boy, and have had cats all my life (I'm 68). I watched your videos since you began airing them, and I simply love her!! I now believe Marlin is part Bengal; after diligently researching this breed plus your incredible videos I'm 95 percent certain he's a Bengal. Marlin is like no other cat I've had! He's crazy!! Certifiably!!! Thank you from the deepest recesses of my heart b/c your vids provided the most evidence for me. Have a great day, and a great life with your husband and both Nova and Ezra!

don't forget the all famous Bengal exercise wheel!! looks just like a hampster wheel but much larger. works great it is heaven sent , the bengals will use it daily even when you take them out all day and do nothing but run all day, they will still appreciate that wheel for one more run before nap time. also great for days you just cannot get the time to go outdoors. that wheel will be such a relief to your bengal. that same wheel works for miniature dachshunds since we decided to get one to go with our bengal!
Thank you I love it!! My son loves his new Bangal cat !! And I love him and he's trained!! Real talk very smart cat!! Awesomeness!! WE Love our family Cat!!
This was fun to watch, exactly like my bengal! I would add that they LOVE to chew through anything in the shape of a string… charging cords, shoelaces, hoodie strings, etc. 🙄🥰
❤ Excellent video. I have wanted a bangle for years and finally this spring should be able to get one I'll have a place that's suitable for one. You did an excellent job on your video I enjoyed it very much ❤
Our wee Empress is 50% Bengal and is nine years old. If you think she will grow out of the Bengal-maniacs, our experience shows that to be a pipe dream. Fluffles (don’t hate me! My son named her….. my 6’1”, 31 yr old, heavy metal, member of the Navy son. And why? “Because she’s just so fluffly-wuffly!”) regularly chews on my arms and legs. I’m on blood thinners, so I get the daily blood sacrifice! LOL She also has her exercise times with us and then when she gets into ‘the maniacs’ as we call them. They are like the heavy metal version of the zoomies and THAT is what Bengals get. Fluffles has come to the point that, since I drink water from a glass then she should as well. So every night, my hubby gets all three of us a glass with ice water (Gawd help us if there is not at least one ice cube in there), with hers being in a cut-glass old fashioned style glass. A closed door is something that seems to be a personal affront to her. Every night, she waits for us to get into bed before she performs her nightly ablutions and has a last nosh. After that, she will grab something from my winter basket where I keep hats, gloves, ear warmers, etc., and come trotting down the hall with it all the way singing the songs of her people a la Beverley Sills!! This girl can project! 😂 She was a rescue for us, and so some things - like picking her up - seem to trigger previous trauma, so I just don’t. One of my fave things is that she can hear my hubster’s vehicle two streets away and will run to the door to meet him each day; she also accompanies him to the door when he’s leaving so she can get the last kiss before he leaves. While there are some quirks with a Bengal - and you don’t mind looking like you live in brambles (with all the scratches and such) she is just so sweet hearted and snuggly! Shortly after we got her, I became seriously ill and my hubster told me that she barely left my side for a couple of weeks. I don’t remember that time, but ever since then she sleeps with me every night. She likes to curl up on the top of my thighs and I wake up if she has to hit the litter box (or third bathroom, as the hubster calls it 🤣) in the middle of the night.
This is such an awesome video. Makes me feel like I found the perfect match to meet my stubborn level. HAHA.. Great work on this. It taught me a lot. Thank you!
Loved the video! I actually watched it twice already because I cannot get over my bengal fantasy:) I have two questions though: the first being about the amount of shedding to expect? Even though I absolutely adore cats I wonder how much Bengal hair will be lying around, clinging to sofas and clothes. As I have long dark hair myself there is already a bit of a "hair problem" around the house haha.. And then, the second thing is how well they adapt to being "babysitted"? My husband and I do enjoy traveling every now and then and would then rely on my parents-in-law to step in and take care of our potential bengal "pair". We thought to get two so they could also have each other to play with when the "parents" need a little break in between. Can they adapt to being in a new environment/with new caretakers temporarily or should you rather plan them into your vacations? The flexibility of both would be great.. Anyway, I really look forward to your feedback! Thank you for taking the time:)
I just had to put down my buddy tonight, he was going on 14 years before medical issues hit in the past two months, he was the most incredible animal I have ever owned. Bengals are like nothing I ever experienced before with a cat, if I ever get another animal it will be a male Bengal.
yes! my family and i decided instead of two Bengals , just get one Bengals and one miniature Dachshund pup and let them grow up together and it was the world's best choice ever made!!
I had a Bengal cat (she died of old age), and I resorted to a squirt-gun (squirt-bottles work, too) to deter her from various unwanted behaviors. The squirt-gun worked perfectly. So even though she liked water, she did NOT like being squirted. I had several squirt-guns placed all over the house for quick deterrence. One day she bit into and ran off with a ghost chilli (I grow them in the garden), and that was the last time she ran off with anything. I grew up with cats, but that Bengal cat was a world-different than every other cat I've had. I trained her to perform several tricks, and she would play fetch. She was the world's greatest cat, and I loved her, and she loved us.
Do your research online search as there are many breeders everywhere in the states and if legit will have proper feedback, be prepared to spend at the very least 5-600.00 for a papered kitten though.
I just adopted 1 day kitten which was found to die near garbage. She's 2 months old now. after watching your video I discovered she is Bengal cat. I have another cat Mainecoon who is 4 years old now. Sometimes, My big cat is too friendly with her and sometimes, they fight like hell. Please tell me what should i do ?
I heard you say you were allergic to cats. How and what did you do to get over the allergies to be around Nova? I am getting a Bengal in July and I am allergic.
Bengals are better for folks with allergies since they have one coat of fur as opposed to 2. I definitely had more of a reaction within the first month of having her, but only if I came in contact with her saliva by kissing her after she groomed, booping her nose with my lips, or rubbing my eyes after petting her. It's a lot better now - I'll still avoid those things and will get a slight reaction if I forget, but I think my body naturally adjusted. It all really depends on how allergic you are. Good luck!
hi im about to get a bangle cat however my only problem is that I have to leave home for max of 4 days because of work. I maybe can have somebody come and see the cat but I dont want to depend on her for that. do you think this is a good idea?
She is PREPARING You for children. Some are such easy Breezy little souls toddling by, you think, “ two would be grand!” …Until The Baby is Born. 👣👶🏼🥵😰🥺🤯
We've since gotten an Abyssinian kitten for Nova 🐱 Meet Conan here 👉 ua-cam.com/video/O8M1SFFjvdQ/v-deo.htmlsi=DYyrxWrysexJ5hnE

I had a tabby who acted just like her. Was a great loss when she passed. I miss her sticking her nose into everything.
This was a great video! We have a Bengal kitten, and your description of their personality was spot on! Thank you!

Thank you very much for your video. Very professionally made and very educational. I learn so much from this. Thank you, thank you, thank you. ❤️❤️❤️

We've since gotten one and both our Bengal and Abyssinian love it 😊
@@mejulialee oh i am so sorry , i just discovered your reply today! Super glad to hear that you love the exercise wheel for your beloved Bengals
blood sacrifice lol i would of expected a bengal to be bigger , cute tho! i like your animal family
Thanks! She's only 5 months, so I'm sure she'll double in size by the time she's 1 y/o 😅
My four month old Bengal is huge and literally a ball of muscle. I got him expecting him to be a similar size to my Bengal cross but he’s a monster.
Really wanted a bengal but thanks to your video I ain’t ready
Thank you I love it!! My son loves his new Bangal cat !! And I love him and he's trained!! Real talk very smart cat!! Awesomeness!! WE Love our family Cat!!
This was fun to watch, exactly like my bengal! I would add that they LOVE to chew through anything in the shape of a string… charging cords, shoelaces, hoodie strings, etc. 🙄🥰
Thank you for the important information. God bless you and your family.
This is a fantastic video! Thank you🙏
Mine was a bengal tabby mix. Another word of caution would be they take your heart.
Yep they do 😂
I’m going nuts over Nova
❤ Excellent video. I have wanted a bangle for years and finally this spring should be able to get one I'll have a place that's suitable for one. You did an excellent job on your video I enjoyed it very much ❤

I want a bengal now!
Thank you. Love that they are affectionate, but cannot deal with the maniac mode… will have to pass. I have mostly had tabby cats .
All so true, you have been warned. That said, my Bengal passed away and miss her every day.
I learned so much!!
So true 😊They can be a menace sometimes but are still adorable companion ❤
As a bengal cat owner i can confirm this is all true even from an adult cat
I just had to put down my buddy tonight, he was going on 14 years before medical issues hit in the past two months, he was the most incredible animal I have ever owned.
Bengals are like nothing I ever experienced before with a cat, if I ever get another animal it will be a male Bengal.
What a Bengal really loves is a very high perch, get the tallest cat tree you can.
Love Nova 💕💕 Also, could we request a winter styling video?🥹
Heh thanks Arshveer, and yes definitely! ☺️💗
Our bengal has never done this but he has always had another cat to play with
you are an amazing cat mom
This I on point omg the kitchen bench thing 😂😂😂
I keep saying if you are planning to get one you better get 2
yes! my family and i decided instead of two Bengals , just get one Bengals and one miniature Dachshund pup and let them grow up together and it was the world's best choice ever made!!
The clip of her biting his nose killed me 😂
Very educational video
Bengals are the best 😻😻
I have 3 Bengals, they never bite people, it quite easy to train them not to do it
I had a Bengal cat (she died of old age), and I resorted to a squirt-gun (squirt-bottles work, too) to deter her from various unwanted behaviors. The squirt-gun worked perfectly. So even though she liked water, she did NOT like being squirted. I had several squirt-guns placed all over the house for quick deterrence.

Where does one get a bengal kitten and how can you be sure your breeder is ethical and legitimate?

Very true facts about bengals cats…. I recognize mine in your video 😂 (except the « bitten » part).
