Bengal owners?.....

[Scouse]

I'm sure there are a few on here? could do with some behaviour advice with regard to my little shite of a snowy bengal kitten.

Very good friend of mine has one - I'll ask her advice and see what she says.

Hers is only over a year old, cute as anything but a little terror sometimes

Strictly speaking, Hetzer is one, and he's a soppy little boy.

Kitten advice?

Put it in a sack with a brick or two and chuck it in a lake?

It's a cat. It'll do what it wants. You are expected to pander to its every whim.

Were you not made aware of this before you got one?

All cats do the above. Bengalls just do it louder.

My ickle cat bible says the following

If you get a good one it is fantastic, but I see a disproportionate number of Bengals on referral for territorial aggression, inter-cat aggression, inappropriate urination or defecation and urine spraying indoors.

I do know of someone with an adult male Bengal but not well enough to know much about the cat and breed. I was advised to get both of my (BSH) boys neutered at 6 months to try and stop the spraying behaviour setting in which seems to have worked and I don't have any issues with their toilet habits. They've only recently started going outdoors, but don't seem to go far and nearly always stay in the back garden. They have markedly different personalities and one is definitely naughtier than the other.

Not sure if that helps?

I love how people jump in thinking I'm a cat n00b who is surprised that a Bengal is so naughty. We have a naughty Siamese and a big ginger fluffy thing plus knowledge etc, so we ain't complete idiots.

Anyway, my question was simply to do with keeping them occupied. Obviously they are a very active animal, and there is only so much that the Siamese can take of being chased around the house and pounced on.

Had the idea this morning of one of those dog (I've only seen them for dogs anyway) ball's that let odd biscuits drop out as they knock it around.

So yes I just wondered what do you do with yours, to keep them busy? As ours tends to start making himself shoulders deep in the bin or the fish tank once he's bored.

Hamsters are quite cheap at pets at home. Buy a bunch of them and just let them loose round the house. The cat will have a field day, but this works best with laminate or wood flooring as cleaning bits of hamster out of long carpet it a real shitty job.

I love that idea of taking it for walks, combined with getting him used to cars.

Means you can take the little shit with you when you go off to work for days at a time
