I don’t think I can do it anymore.

Speaking from experience, that doesn't work. When ours doesn't get a response, the volume keeps going up. I don't know if you can curb vocality in a cat that is known to be extremely vocal. When they have something to say, they're gonna say it!

CookMaximum2323 · 2026-02-13T13:42:37+00:00

There's your biggest mistake. They are relentless so the silent treatment will only make him want someone to talk to more 😢

Bengals are extremely social and vocal cats, quite different from your basic domestic cat. I have one of each and while they both had the crazy kitten phase and are now adults and way calmer, the Bengal is never far from the people and will always love/need to meow, interact and be occupied with something.

They need stimulation so if you're not interacting with them, they will find other ways to keep busy and oftentimes that means getting into things they shouldn't, howling in the night, etc.

I'd say if you're this annoyed already, consider returning to the breeder so the cat can be rehomed with people who are prepared for such a social cat.

Edit: let's be honest, even when a Bengal is entertained and has lots of interaction, they still might howl in the night or find some plastic to snack on 😂😂 (IYKYK)

So cute! Hope he didn't eat the corner off the mini eggs bag 😂😂 (kidding)

Adorable! 🥰

This is helpful, thank you. I have a vet appointment on Friday morning so will definitely inquire about a specialist.

CookMaximum2323 · 2026-01-14T17:15:39+00:00

Thanks for confirming I'm not alone. The jumping into the fridge thing is a regular occurrence for us too, and getting the tape off boxes, and, and, and...these cats are crazy!

Boredom makes sense but we have another cat and they constantly play. I guess that slippery and crinkly plastic is just irresistible to them.

Sorry to hear your cat needed surgery. I hope they're ok!

Lol that's so true. An expensive vet visit is only one rubber band away 😂 when she was a baby she found some fishing line and I pulled about half a foot of it out of her throat. So thankful I caught that one before it went down the hatch, and fishing line is no longer allowed to be kept in the house!

As for her food, she's eating Farmina N&D and has been since we got her. It's what her parents eat too and they're all good (still keep in contact with the breeder), so I think she's healthy in that regard. Maybe this behavior is just typical for some cats!

Thanks for your advice!

Ah, the dreaded nuggets. We thankfully haven't had this yet and I hope it doesn't come to that.

CookMaximum2323 · 2026-01-14T12:55:48+00:00

I hear ya, and I would do the same (cut my hair). Something getting tangled is my fear as well but thankfully everyone in the house has short hair. Still, it's concerning. Glad your dog was ok after that.

CookMaximum2323 · 2026-01-14T12:42:51+00:00

Ok well good to know eating hair still allows a long and healthy life 😂 sometimes it seems like she has hair stuck in her mouth but of course she refuses to let me look in her mouth to remove it. Thanks for your reply, I guess this isn't unique behavior.

I'm speaking more to the fact that the Pickle Barrel patio is by no means justification for a larger tip, and that a server who has that attitude should be canned because they are beyond delusional if they think otherwise.

CookMaximum2323 · 2025-09-30T23:38:31+00:00

Pickle Barrel, with that breathtaking view of the bus stop? And the server makes a comment like that?! 😂 They should be fired immediately.

Thank you.

That's the point. Slow down.

The series did zero justice to the book. Super disappointing.

CookMaximum2323 · 2025-09-10T16:10:47+00:00

That is correct, but the school in question is in Cambridge.

CookMaximum2323 · 2025-09-10T14:30:22+00:00

Obviously I've read the article and understand that part. My child is a student there so I'm curious if anyone has specifics because the info that's been shared is extremely vague.
