| This page is dedicated to a little bit of information on both bengals as a breed and some tips for bringing your new kitten home. |
| Our beautiful bengal cats are a hybrid cat. They come from a cross breeding of a wild Asian leopard and a domestic cat. After the 4th generation, the Bengal cat is a wonderful pet. This cross produces the wild looks that many pet owners are looking for, with the wonderful, playful personality of a domestic cat. Bengal cats are very smart and can be taught with a little time and effort many things, including these:
with their owners. Playing in water bowls is a fun past-time for many. Fresh drinking water daily is a must for a bengal. A clean litter box is also essential. Cats are very clean animals and a dirty litter box is not only asking for disease, it is also a sure way to get your cat started eliminating in inappropriate places like on your carpeting. Our bengals are all litter box trained by the time they go to their new forever homes, most are trained by the time they are 4 weeks old. The best way to keep your new kitten using the litter box when they get home with you is NOT to take them home and let them have the run of your house. Confining a kitten to a small room with his/her litter box, food, water and a few toys for at least a week is the best way to teach your kitten where the litter box is and it also helps them to feel secure in a new environment. Make sure there are no cords or other dangerous items your kitten can chew on. They are similar to puppies when it comes to chewing and not only can they ruin expensive items, it can also be dangerous to their health and well-being. If you have other pets, it also keeps your kitten safe until a proper introduction can be made. Feel free to allow your kitten out of the confinement and into other rooms of your home when they can be supervised by you. This makes a wonderful time for play and bonding. Just remember to return them to their special room when you can't be watching them, or you can expect to clean up a mess - which will not be their fault. Once urine soaks into a floor, cats can smell that no matter what sort of cleaner you use and any other pets you have will also tend to mark that area. The best bad habits are the ones you never let get started. |
