Activity Level Warning

Bengals have extreme energy levels requiring 2+ hours of active play daily. They need cat wheels, tall cat trees, puzzle feeders, and constant enrichment. Without adequate stimulation, they become destructive and may develop behavioral issues. They're vocal, demanding attention with chirps and yowls. Perfect for active families but overwhelming for quiet households. Consider your lifestyle carefully before choosing this high-maintenance breed.
