"Bengal cats can take a great deal of interest in running water and often don't mind
getting wet. Most Bengal owners have stories about their cat's affection for running water or even jumping in a sink or
tub. Bengal cats commonly play games with their owners, such as "fetch" and "hide-and-seek." Bengals also vocalize to
communicate with their humans.
Additionally, Bengal cats are very high-energy, intelligent, and curious, and so are particularly interactive with their
human housemates, wanting to be in the middle of whatever the human is engaged in, and often following the human around
the house as household chores are performed. However, while friendly and with very distinctive personalities, bengals
aren't really "lap cats." (There are exceptions, but most prefer being petted or played with to being held.)
As their activity and play requirements are high, this is not a cat best left to its own devices for long periods of
time, as they can be quite mischievous and destructive when bored. If an owner is likely to spend much of the day away
from the cat, it is an excellent idea to have another high-energy feline companion to occupy the Bengal. Bengal cats are
quite capable of jealousy and spitefulness if they feel that another feline is getting more attention, or if they are
being ignored."
