The Bengal Cat (Felis silvestris catus) has a happy, active,
interactive and extremely intelligent personality. Every
domestic cat breed has its unique features, and the exotic
heritage of the Bengal cat can be seen in their every day
activities. While Bengals will happily search out a lap
or stretch out on the sofa next to you during naptime, they
are very active during the rest of the day.
The energetic Bengal is not for people who just want a
leopard print cat for decoration. Whether they are fishing
in the aquarium or playing in their water-bowls, fetching
balls for their families, taking walks on a leash or climbing
to the top of the highest cupboards, Bengals are constantly
on the move and are perfect for anyone who wants to interact
and play with their cat daily. The Bengal cat, like many
other pets, demands a good deal of attention and affection
and enjoys being an integral part of the family.Bengal cats
can take a great deal of interest in running water and often
don't mind getting wet. Most Bengal owners have stories
about their cat's affection for running water or even jumping
in a sink or tub.
Additionally, Bengal cats are very high-energy, intelligent,
and curious, and so are particularly interactive with their
human housemates, wanting to be in the middle of whatever
the human is engaged in, and often following the human around
the house as household chores are performed. Bengal cats
have been known to play games with their owners, such as
"fetch" and "hide-and-seek." As their
activity and play requirements are high, this is not a cat
best left to its own devices for long periods of time, as
they can be quite mischievous and destructive when bored.
If an owner is likely to spend much of the day away from
the cat, having another high-energy feline companion to
occupy your Bengal is an excellent idea. Bengals tend to
vocalize to communicate with their humans, and are quite
capable of jealousy and spitefulness if they feel that another
feline is getting more attention, or if they are being ignored.
The other side of this coin is that they are also very affectionate
towards and playful with their humans.
The innate nature of the Asian Leopard Cat is small, elusive
wildcat is found from Siberia, Pakistan, Tibet and India,
Burma, Thailand, and part mainland China then south to Sumatra,
Java, Borneo and the Philippines. They can thrive in a variety
of habitats... dense tropical forests, scrub, semi-desert
and agricultural areas. The species Latin name (prionailurus
bengalensis) is derived from the first Leopard Cat that
was discovered swimming in the Bay of Bengal.
The temperament of the Asian Leopard Cat tends to be ellusive
and intelligent. In their natural environment they typically
hunt by night, since they are almost exclusively nocturnal
animals. They are agile felines, going from treetops to
marsh in one continual motion. They are found within the
vicinity of water and are accomplished swimmers. Many wild
Leopard Cats will dispose of the excretions in water, to
cover their scent from large predators. It is with this
extreme intelligence that the ALC has survived many generations
in a world where their habitat is dwindling and where they
are a very small predator in the huge circle of life.
