We’re firm believers in not reinventing the wheel. When it comes to information about Bengals, our breeders from Quality Bengal Kittens have spent a lot of time and effort writing blog articles answering almost every question imaginable. We not only endorse their recommendations, but we follow them as well. Below you will find direct links to their answers to these commonly asked questions. Just click on the links for each question and you will be directed to their full articles.
When it comes to owning a pet, food and diet always come up. We always just fed our pets what the breeder fed. In getting our cats, we learned so much from our breeders. We now feed and recommend a raw diet. Why? Check out this article here.
We live in a very dog centric society and the reality is that dogs and cats are very different. This is especially reflected in the amount of time the offspring should stay with their mothers. Puppies typically go home at around 8 weeks of age, but for kittens, they should not go home earlier than 12 weeks of age for several reasons. If you see a breeder offering to let a kitten go sooner than that, it is usually a bad sign. Read more about why here.
For many reasons, it is often better to have two cats instead of one, but what sexes make the best combo? We chose a boy and a girl because we wanted to see how they differ morphologically as adults. Little did we know research on this topic has actually been done! Check out a summary of that research here.
To ensure the best transition and to get your new bengal started on the right foot, you want to introduce them to your house slowly. Take our girl Elektra for example, part of why she does not do well in shows is because she is a cat that needs more time to get used to new environments. When we first moved to our condo, she was growling all day in the room we had her in until she later settled after spending the night. The guidance here lays out the best strategy for transitioning your cat to your home.
