They are very beautiful, aren't they? One of my colleagues, Ursula, has a 3
year old marbled male called Aragon. She showed me a photo of him the other
day - he is stunning and quite large, almost doesn't look like a domestic
cat. I would do a double take if I saw him in my garden, thinking he'd
escaped from somewhere.
However he is very vocal and demanding apparently, raids the cupboards,
wakes them in the night just to have a conversation, opens doors and
generally drives them mad :-)

Yup, bengals are very inquisitive (even for cats) and I swear they have
opposable thumbs.

He was indoor only until recently. She started to let him outside under
supervision as she suspected that confinement and boredom was his problem.
It seems it was. He is much better behaved now, he goes out quite a lot,
not going too far fortunately, but it seems enough to occupy his mind and
tire him a bit. The 2 a.m. conversations have become a thing of the past.
It was not that it was unsafe to let him out, the worry was that he might
get stolen as he has huge self-esteem and will go up to anyone in a friendly
manner. I do have to say that he looks *very* valuable which might make him
vulnerable.

All bengal breeders seem to agree you should keep them inside.

They're beautiful! The two-toned leopard spots on them are really
stunning. And they still look like kitties.
They're so pretty that I have some misgivings about them. I read that
the world record for the highest price paid for a cat was for a Bengal
cat, and that the person who paid for this cat also held the world
record for having the greatest number of cosmetic surgeries!

At least it is likely that whoever this is can afford to hire someone to
keep the cat cared for and entertained.

Must not look. Must remind myself that Bengal's are exotics and can be hard
to care for.
Not working.
Remind myself they are at least as active as Burmese.
And Molly and Jake would not forgive me.
But they are soooooo cute.

No... I don't want one. I already have two beautiful brown
stripey-spotty girls at home. These cute wittle bitties are too
stripey and too exotic for me. Nope, I do not need a third cat, and I
don't have the budget for a purebred cat... Nope, nope nope...
unh-uh... No way one of those adorable little critters will come to
live with me...
Okay. I've failed to convince myself. DId I convince anyone else???
Back to the mantra, then.
Nope,
No way
No how
No, I don't want one
They're not in the least bit cute..
Unh-uh....
