I was gifted one of these cats and was expecting them to be wild and aggressive and i am amazed at how affectionate and kind they are. They almost remind me of a dog.

Mine is 9 months old now. The life is definitely more fun and active now 😂😂. By the way they ARE very gental and cuddley❤️.

Me watching this as my Bengal kitten attackes my feet, 👁👄👁

I like how you just squat in different areas of your house to film

I'm not a cat person, I like Working-Line dogs. But for some reason, I've really come to like Bengals over the past year. I've been doing a lot of research on them, and am really considering getting one.

Despite having had two Bengals, and now I am raising a third (she is 6+ months old), I appreciated your video very much. It was a great public service spot for Bengal owners to be, and validating for a Bengal lover like myself. Kona is So adorable! And you guys are great!

'dont worry, they slow down as they get older' haha hahahahahaha HAHAHAHHAHA GET READY FOR A SURPRISE.

I found it best to get two at the same time, that way they can use up some of their energy playing with each other.

I had no idea what I was getting into when I adopted what turned out to be a Bengal kitten a year ago, from a shelter. My life is a lot more interesting, and fun now that Atticus has grown into 22 pounds (he is a big boy) of high energy mischief and fun

I had a Bengal for 19 years. She was the sweetest, most devoted and most beautiful cat you have ever seen. I have always had cats but dealing with Shundor (Beauty in Bengali) was a learning experience for us both. Bengals are insatiably curious and will poke their nose into any new thing so you have to be a little careful about what you leave lying around. They also require more stimulation than most domestic breeds so you always need to have toys around and lots of interactive play time. Two caveats to owning a Bengal, (actually they believe they own you); they have very long back legs and are incredible jumpers. Shundor could jump from the floor to the top of my 4 1/2 foot dresser without even thinking about it, then when they get up there they are annoyed that it isn't a nice place to sleep because its too crowded so they will push everything off until they are comfy. Second they are incredibly vocal. They talk all the time! They are really funny since it is fairly easy to see what they are calling about. Food is obvious, but Shundor used to get up on the bed and imperiously demand that it was time for me to come to bed with her because she was sleepy. They also have a kind of continuous chirp or ''ack ack ack" going up and down scales. But, they are loud! If your Bengal wants something it is best to obey immediately. To wrap up, she was the best cat I ever had and I still miss her 15 years after her passing.

It's best to get Bengals in pairs or to have another active pet at home. They have so much energy!

Our bengal is 3 years old now. Our experience is different from yours: Our bengal is a very low maintenance cat. We provide her sufficient dry food during the day (she won't eat all in 1 time but take small portions during the day) and at exactly 730pm we give her 1 small can of wet food. Works perfectly! And she knows exactly when it's 730 :) She will initiate play like a dog, walking around with her favorite toy in her mouth dropping it at whoever is at home (including my laptop keyboard) expecting to be entertained. If nobody responds she'll retreat observing our family members from the top of the cupboard until she's pretty confident she can get her playtime with one of us. She is incredibly curious, following whoever is active in the house. Definitely does not appreciate sitting on ones lap or even being cuddled. Most bengals supposedly like water/getting in the shower; she's not aware of that. We too take her sometimes for a walk but she won't walk/want to go somewhere like a dog. You'll spend 30 minutes seeing her go in circles/doing cat-stuff. Our cat won't walk for more than 50 meter so we always have the carry case at hand in case she won't go anywhere anymore. In our experience normal cats become lap-cats/sleep 18 hours a day when maturing. Bengals stay active. Ours is absolutely fantastic; she's often the center of attention and hardly sleeps daytime (sleeping a solid 8 to 10 hours at night) But make sure you are consistent with them; e.g. on the dining table is a no-no. That meant for a few weeks we had to push her off until she got it. They are clever, if you are not consistent they will seem uncontrollably. By the way; we have 1 only and no other pets which works fine. Two probably would be better but we prefer 1 only. Thx for the video! You will enjoy Kona for many years to come, I'm sure!

A bengal kitten is a cross between a Tasmanian Devil and Dennis the Menace, with a bit of snuggly cat thrown in to prevent murder of the spotted critter. Also, I found puzzles worked great for mine, he hated the laser pointer. I grabbed some shiny coins, put them into a clear bottle. He spent almost half an hour opening it up. It is unlikely that she would get stuck in a tree. They are some of the fastest and most agile climbers in the feline family. Mine made it more than two stories up a tree after he saw a dog that scared him in about 12 seconds. He stayed up there a while until the dog left then climbed down. They have claws that are more specialized for climbing than other cats.

Such a gorgeous cat! She’s definitely got a lot of energy as you said!

It took a few months, but my bengal finally has me trained like he wants!

I love your vibes as couple, may Allah bless you with more happiness ❤️😍

You guys are super good kitty parents and I’m impressed! Kona is an absolute gem!

The gorgeousness of this cat is unreal! At least you have room for her to run and bless you both for caring enough to walk her.

I took in 2 bengal/shorthair mix, brother and sister, probably 9 months, they were strays someone dumped. One looks like yours and the other is red(the girl) she eats like a wolf and climbs everything I'm retired but this is like a full time job they are nuts sometimes but slowly getting into a quiet time at night, very cuddly these two they sleep together and play fight-they are beautiful little terrors and I love them. They fight over my cushioned desk chair and my robe, my two other cats are a bit freaked but no serious fights and hey, cats- is there anything they can't do? Mikey and Ginji. Shhh, don't wake them up there sleeping now.

You guys seem like great Bengal parents! She's beautiful! I've kept Bengals for 13 years. It's great that you guys walk her. All Bengals are different but walking them keeps them from wanting to escape. In my experience, Brown spotted are super fun and crazy! Snow Bengals are less wild and more chill but not as hypoallergenic.

I’ve had bengals for years and these guys are spot on. They Obviously love her loads.

Lmao, my cat's favorite toys are my hands and my feet😂😂😂

I love this video! I got my boy Benji on 6/20/20 and he's been a lot of work, but he's so precious and I would die for him. They grow so fast cherish the kitten phase before they look all grown up LOL! I've spent a month toilet training and it was a lot of work, but now he uses the toilet! The only thing is that he doesn't want to use the bathroom alone so he'll cry and wail but since he's using the toilet for me, I can't complain!

Thank you for the update! I think your videos are excellent & well done! I’m getting 3 bengals in a couple of weeks myself so just preparing as much as possible!

I had a snowshoe siamese and a miniature pinscher that were the 2 most difficult babies I've ever dealt with. My new bengal kitten is going to break me lol! Two weeks in...he's 13 weeks and thinks he's Sammy Davis Jr and Frank Sinatras love child. My minpin was like a tiny great white shark trained by ISIS. Both the siamese and minpin matured into the BEST pets I've ever had so I'm sure my little house leopard will too!

You two and Kona are great! I had Don Julio, Bengal boy, for 16 1/2 years and now he is at Rainbow Bridge. But! I pick up my new Bengal Girl Kitty August 8 and the excited count down is on :) Your videos of picking your Kona baby up and the first little while with her bring back great memories and have me so full of anticipation for my new kitten. Thank you!!

This is video was very good! My family are getting a female bengal in a few weeks, and I’m very excited! Thanks for all the info, and good luck with your little leopard.

They scratch up everything if you don’t play with them

We've got a half Bengal kitten and he is just the most adorable thing. He's got the inquisitiveness and energy of a Bengal but doesn't have the coordination to match which is hilarious! He loves playing fetch though, particularly on the stairs, loves everyone including other cats and dogs. Follows us everywhere and hates to be left on his own. Honestly, we couldn't have wished for a better little friend 😀

One of my favorite cat breeds ,Leonardo is very playful , listens and responds well when u call him very genius. He loves your attention and is the best cat I ever owned. Leonardo is also very affectionate .

You guys are amazing cat companions! It's comforting to see well-treated happy cats receiving plenty of care, empathy, and environmental enrichment. Cats come in different levels of care-- beginner, advanced, and expert which depends on their breed, background (socialized, stray, feral, abused), temPURRment (mild or spicy), and health (healthy, ill, disabled, etc.). Bengal kittens are definitely advanced to expert, depending on how well socialized they are. But you guys have everything covered! If litterbox use ever becomes a problem in the future, open litterboxes are are more attractive to kitties (especially if they are dealing with health/stress issues). Great work, Kona is lucky to have such a supportive family!

This is amazing! You guys are awesome thanks for sharing such a real, relatable video which helps us gain a great insight!

The play is bonding. Given Bengals relatively higher intelligence they can build super solid relationships. Touch her all over often so you can brush her teeth and encourage lots of drinking water (Bengals are known to have issues with that). Had to replace dry wall with 2 Bengal kittens climbing and diving at a door handle once they figured out how we came and went. (Smart cats)

We got our bengal cross a cat tree that was made for Maine Coons. (Cat tree king) its VERY sturdy and really high. Its really beneficial when he is doing zoomies and leaps...does not move. Thinking of our Jack cat as more a dog/cat then a lap cuddling alley cat helped. He loves gardening especially when the hose is going! Game time is a MUST and helps the bonding process. These cats really are a blessing and intelligent.

Buddy is at least 17 years old now. These days, his primary activity is sleeping. But he still chases his housemate all over the place around 9pm. When he was young, he had all that typical Bengal energy! Now, his favorite place to be is a lap....and if he doesn't have one, he gets very distressed. He wants to be touching one of his people all the time.

I picked out my first cat Bengal. 4 weeks only so I'm in the waiting process but having fun learning and shopping. I've watched several of your videos now and WOW has it helped! Sincerely Cynthia

Once again Guys, great job. Konami is beautiful. Based on your accent you sound like Canadians. I was impressed that you could get her to walk on a lesch so quickly. As well as your training techniques. Keep posting more. Thanx.

Ive found that my bengal loves fetch. She naturally started playing with my black hair ties. Its her favorite game and first thing in the morning after eating she brings me the hair tie to start playing.

Wow congratulations with your beauty. Love Bengal cats. Wish you both good luck with her ❤️

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing

Great Video and I love watching the Bengal Kitties.

You are a beautiful, caring couple. You will make beautiful babies and if you parent them as you do your Kona, they will be blessed. Thank you for the video.

Fab. Thank you. Best of luck

Awesome video thanks guys!

You guys are so adorable with your kitty!! I was thinking of buying a bangle kitty. Thanks for sharing, it will definitely come in handy!! 😃

Rhank you guys this was so freaking helpful! your the best love n light to you both.

Thanks a lot for explaining the click process. I have never known about that and it is an amazing need-to-know information). We also plan to buy a Bengal cat, and your videos greatly guide us.)

I used bookshelf boards that mount with wall anchors along my walls, I also used stairwell carpet from home depot with double sided tape mounted to boards to scratch on.

Amazingly looking cat! Love the video! Cannot wait to one day have my own.. still have to find the right pattern fur

thank you for sharing! we can’t wait to get our bengal kitten in the near future😻

i love these cat parents, they do soo much for their furr kid

Just picked up our Bengal kitten this past weekend! He's been fantastic but insane amounts of energy and sharp claws haha. Can't wait to get our clickers so we can start training!

She’s so cute !!

You guys are so awesome, we have three!

I have a twenty year old female Bengal. Now deaf and going blind and sleeps twenty-three hours a day now. If using wet cat food try putting the packet/tin in hot water before opening to warm it up. Warm the feeding bowl also.

I use a small fishing pole with a toy tied to the end of the fishing line. I cast it over and over and just keep reeling it in. Cat loves it.

Thanks 🙏🏻 for these tips

Kona is adorable...her skin is incredible!!!!

Very good good tips. Will have a Bengal soon and will be using some of your ideas. Thanks for sharing

That DIY shelf is awesome it’s functional but also fits in well with your nice home.

Im really Happy rn,we’re getting a bengal kitten to. And I’m so EXCITED 😆 I love them 😍❤️

Cute couple! Yes love that Bengal cat!!!

Thank you ..l had a beautiful female Bengal for 14 Years... So Clever could read my mind !

Extra pleasant is your very nice calming presentation. ☺️

My new Bengal is still in his mom’s belly, but I’m so excited to meet him!!! Hopefully he will be with me by Christmas

I have two and I think the energy levels are very manageable. She is very sweet, loving and a very very good listener. Super smart. I love them! The kitten is 9 weeks now (Camille) and Chloé is 2 years.

Thank you thank you thank you for sharing the info… We have a mail and he is fantastic and is just as you described . I did not know this when I adopted him . You and Kona are wonderful 💜🐾🐾🐾🐾

Thanks for making this very informative video

At that age, our silver-grey Tabby is very high energy. He was great as a tiny kitten at 7 or 8 weeks old. Never draws his claws out, and is Mr. Chill. He does like to get outside and join his orange Tabby to canvas the neighborhood. It just takes a bit of time.

thanks for this video guys! super helpful since I'm considering this breed.

Just the tip for general cat play: Laser first, real toys last. This way they can get the "killing satisfaction" after chasing for so long. Some cats tend to redirect this need elsewhere otherwise.

Beautiful cat , will have one soon

Kona will likely be one of many bengals you two adopt over your lives - just recently lost my Bengal of 14 years, Kleo. I am waiting for my second bengal to bring home next month because my house is so quiet without her now. My first bengal brought so much joy and laughter into my life so I wanted another one as soon as I could. Kleo was very smart and had a very strong personality and always made it very easy to get her point across to her humans via her yelling XD Enjoy the kitten craziness while it lasts; she will bring you so much love and laughter for many years to come!

Liked to have one but so expensive so i ended up with one being bengal/raggdoll and she is so smart and looks like a bengal. She is out everyday here in the swedish countryside except when it’s realy cold as her fur is thin and silky. She loves gold jewelry and sheck them out even with her teeth. If i faking to be asleep she pulls my earrings (hoops) until i wake up and then she throws herself tightly against my body. Then i tell her i love her and she answers right back- she is so lovely, intelligent and talkative ❤

Precious baby

6 months into living with our now 9 month bengal, the energy isnt going anywhere. 5 hours play it took one day. The high places we built he is now bored of. I beginning to think constant innovation and suprise is the norm not just the kitten phase. The repertoire of sounds, desires, frustrations, joys grow everyday.

Pro tip....get em a friend. I waited 4 years for mine to have a buddy but really needed it a long time ago.

For the last few months me and my husband are considering to buy a bengal cat. This is the most beneficial and informative video I ever watched. Thanks guys!

DELIGHTFUL! YOU GUYS ARE MEANT FOR EACH OTHER. THANKS FOR SHARING. A NEW SUBSCRIBER FROM CHICAGO, ILLINOIS USA

Great informative video!! We are looking at kittens today 🐾

Wish u guys a happy beautiful long life. I'm considering upping my kitty game and adapt a Bengal cat and your video is very very helpful

It's a full time job! She's so cute.

Omg this is soooo cute. We should be getting a bengal in a few months. So helpful! Thank you!

I just found out I’m getting two kittens and there both bengles so I’m really exited

Unreal how similar Kona is to how mine was at that age. You'll be glad to know that their energy levels do drop somewhat =). Great video btw.

Okay guys, absolutely love this video! My girlfriend and I currently have two Bengals and we've had them since May. I have a lot of learning to do. I would love to set up a video chat and discuss what I'm dealing with, show you our set up at home and see if maybe you two might have some advice. Hope to hear from you both! 😊

As someone who has always had dogs I am absolutely loving having a bengal as a first time cat owner 🤣🤣🤣

Wonderful and useful tips! We ..fingers crossed, will be getting one this week, and then an Abysinnian as her sister friend :)

Our bengal is seven years old. We live in the countryside of the netherlands. He's an outdoor cat. He owns the neighbourhood, but is the most gentle cat inside. Always wants to sleep on our laps. Nobody is able to approach him outside. He also is very vocal. He won't shut up.

Thank you guys! post again

My Bengal Sabrina was awesome. She lived to be 32 years old

Nice cat! I have never been really big on cats, but seeing the bengal cat makes me want to own one lol. Being a hybrid breed, I like the energy and playfulness it has similar to a puppy.

I’m picking up my first Bengal kitten on Saturday! I’m so excited & can’t wait for my dachshund to have a friend! Useful video! Thanks ☺️

Just so cute 😻😻

I bring my bengal kitten, bellatrix, home this week! I appreciate all of your videos it has really prepared me for what to expect and things to do with my bengal. I am allergic to cats and so I had to pick a hypoallergenic breed and ended up falling in love with a bengal

really appreciate this

What a beauty lovely markings. I do miss my Bengals I now have Ragdoll. The Bengals are faithful cats more like dogs. Enjoy yours it will give you years of pleasure.

Lots of good tips. I have wanted to a hybrid cat since I learned about servals. I finally settled on a Bengal as they are easier to manage and still have the wild look and heard good things about them. I bought my daughter one for her 15th birthday. It's actually not here yet. This video was very informative and I am excited even more to welcome her into our home. She is 13 weeks old. I was concerned about living in a small apartment and her not having a bengal mate, but your Kona seems to be quite happy being the little princess of your lives. I will definitely be following your channel to see how Kona develops. I really want to take ours on walks and get her used to my in laws small dachshunds. Sounds like I she might be able to adapt. Not sure about the dogs though. lol

Got a tabby kitten w/Bengal personality. Cleo. 😺 She's a handful.

awesome guys thanx!
