Re: Bengal Cat Attacking Owners

How long do you spend a day playing with him? I too have one that
loses fur but that's while playing with my other one. Ears going back I have seen in all my cats.

Maybe try rigorous playing with him, half an hour in the morning and again at night.

Re: Bengal Cat Attacking Owners

I have had 2 bengals and can confirm they are not like other cats. Aggression is often a problem, either directed towards other cats or owners, Bengals are more easy to train than other cats (like dogs) and your kitty needs to know the behaviour is unacceptable. I consulted a leading behaviourist who works with rescue bengals and she said that buying a large cage and putting them in it when they start the aggression works like a dream. She has successfully used this method on a number of Bengals that were considered too out of control to rehome and ended up with docile kitties. Worth a try....it's a bit like the naughty step for children!

Ok as for the 'they have wild tendencies' term, I think that can be used for any cat, whether the cat is of unknown heritage or pedigree.

Possibilites are yes the cat in question could be in a pain, or he is trying to show dominance.

I hope that you sort out this situation & I wish you luck

sorry to pick up on this but 'domestic' cats arnt wild....and infact new evidence has found that they were domesticated far far earlier than was previously thought..progenitors of today's cats split from their wild counterparts more than 100,000 years ago, on the otherhand the bengal has been developed from recent cross with a wild cat species.
