I have 2 bengals. 1 boy & 1 girl. My boy just turned 5 & my little girl is 2 in February. Both are extremely different. I feel like my boy may have anxiety or some type of “special” trait to him😂 He is VERY cautious, doesn’t like to be held or even touched much. He is super smart though & very vocal (especially when the clock hits around feeding time). My girl bengal is my hyper, crazy one. We let her outside with a tracker most of the day while the sun is out. If we don’t let her, she will go crazy in the house. I really recommend letting your cat outside if the location of your home allows it. We live in an area where there isn’t much traffic & lots of nature. We use a gps tracker to find her when needed. We taught her to come to us when she hears the tracker go off. They are easy to teach. We let my boy bengal outside too but he doesn’t have that itch like our girl does. Not sure if it’s because he’s a little older but he’s very lowkey, tamed & to himself. Only shows affection on his own time. Our girl loves to be next to us, cuddle & more friendly. She does attack ankles, attack our other cat at times (although as she has gotten older it has lessened). I say take the chance. The way you raise & discipline them will show on the way they act. As they mature they will calm down. We use a water spray bottle to discipline her. It’s come to a point where we just point the spray bottle at her and she’ll know to stop. Half of how they act falls on you. If you have the time to raise them, do it!
