.. Bengals

Bengals are very active attention seeking cats that need lots of stimulation. Domestic cats are bred with asian leopard cats, to create the breed. 

Depending on what fraction an individual is from their wild origin, bengal cats can be very difficult to satisfy.

Profit seeking human beings may illegally obtain a wild cat for the purposes of breeding Bengals for money.

If it is your desire to keep bengals, always ensure that they have legitimate paperwork to discourage poaching of a wild, protected & endangered species for profiteering.

Alternatively these cats commonly turn up in rescue centres as they have more of a wild streak in them (depending again on the fraction they are from their wild origins). 

Please consider adopting a stray or abandoned bengal instead.
