That is good. I am sure you will be very pleased with your new baby when you get it.
Just remove all precious ornaments beforehand as s/he will climb!!!
But they are so cute you let them off with anything.

Ha ha yeah I will, i know to remove stuff because I saw what my mums cat got up to when he was a kitten, up her curtains and everything.

I am sorry but I have to disagree with the above post.
A bengal should not be an F1 F2 or F3 if it is to be a pet. Any reputable breeder will only sell F4 and above.

Pardon me, I should have said "Don't know if he is F1, F2 etc". I dont particularly know a lot about bengal genetics, just know the cat. I wasnt suggesting you should have to get F1 or F2 for a pet.

Lilly, what is the F1 F2 etc?

The Bengal cat is a cross between the Asian Leopard Cat and the domestic cat. F1 is the first generation, F2 is the second and so on. According to bengalcat.co.uk only the 4th generation and on are considered suitable for pets and are officially bengal rather than a hybrid.

I have two Bengal cats and I agree with all the above comments...Alfie, my big boy is my cat and Tilly is my boyfriends cat and they demand your attention constantly. If Alfie wants me awake in the morning then he will head butt me and talk to me until I'm up and about. They both talk to me and tell me about there day and are very vocal. I also have a British Bulldog who moved in 2 years ago and the cats adapted to this really well.
Both of my babies though are very affectionate and seldom sit alone, Alfie is currently sat on my knee as I type, however he is alittle destructive and despite various scratching posts he still prefers the chairs:mad:
