Temperament
Bengals are curious and full of energy. They enjoy climbing, jumping, and playing, and they often form strong bonds with their humans. Though not typically lap cats, Bengals are affectionate and thrive in homes that offer attention and stimulation.
Grooming and Care
Their short, glossy coat is very low-maintenance and requires little more than occasional brushing. Bengals need lots of exercise and enrichment — consider cat trees, puzzle toys, and interactive play to keep them happy.
History and Origin
The Bengal was developed in the 1970s by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat. The goal was to create a domestic cat with the look of the wild but the temperament of a pet. Today’s Bengals are fully domesticated but still retain that exotic edge.
