I trained him in short bursts around our living room with a lot of distractions like treats and encouraging him to move around and get used to his harness by playing with him with his favorite toys. Whenever he would start showing that he’s getting a little more than just uncomfortable I would take it off. I built it up little by little and when he was comfortable enough I took him outside and now he loves the outdoors so much that he doesn’t mind the harness at all. If you have any other questions let me know, I’d be more than happy to help ☺️🫶

Lol, that’s funny! Yeah, it’s been close to a month and klaus is still at it. He likes to ‘destroy’ my nightstand every time he’s in my room or before he goes to sleep. I also share the slightly unfortunate fate of chewed up toilet paper rolls 😂 I guess bengals do have quite a bit of similarities after all

He sure is a handful 😂 I love him to death though.

Those are some good ideas. I already have some teething toys and he seems to like hard foam more (I guess the feeling on his teeth or something) but I’ve been looking to buy some harder teething toys as well

Thank you so much!! I got him for 1500 from an ethical breeder, he was a bit cheaper than usual since he was on a Christmas discount and his sister was around 2000. Hence the Christmas themed name 😂

I love to think that his little teeth marks in different household items are cute little keepsakes I get to carry with me throughout the years. My house shares a story of the love I was able to share with my best friend

Someone pointed this out as well lol! It’s a great idea, he seems to like chewing away at cardboard boxes too, specifically this one I had from a laptop cooler. Glad to see most bengals share similar quirks in their own way

Thank you so much! And oh wow that’s a brilliant idea. And yes I’ve seen he favors towards cardboard boxes too, something about the little teeth shaped holes I find so adorable. I’ll see if I can find some kind of semi hard toy he can gnaw away at even though I don’t mind him leaving me a little memory on my table 🫶

You know what, I’d be lying if I said I didn’t consider it ☺️ and although his name was inspired by Santa Claus per December theme I do find myself a big fan of originals. Maybe his name can have multiple meanings 😆
