As a Bengal cat breeder, I often receive questions from potential clients about the personality traits of these beautiful animals. Bengal cats are known for their distinctive appearance, but it's their personalities that make them truly special. In this post, I'll go over the most common personality traits of Bengal cats so that you can get an idea of what to expect if you're considering bringing one into your home. As always, for more in-depth information or specific questions feel free to reach out to me through the website or by email: [email protected].​ ​

​Bengal cats are known for their wild appearance and playful personalities, which attracts many people to having them as pets. However, many potential cat owners are concerned about the noise level of these cats. So, are Bengal cats noisy? The answer is both yes and no. 

​On one hand, Bengal cats are known for their playful and energetic nature, which can sometimes lead to excessive vocalization and destructive behavior. They have a tendency to talk and meow loudly, especially when they want attention. This is especially true for younger cats, who are still learning to express themselves.

Bengal cats are known to be highly intelligent and curious animals, which makes them highly trainable. This intelligence can be leveraged to teach them to modify their behavior, including reducing the volume of their meows. With consistent training and positive reinforcement, it is possible to train a Bengal cat to meow more quietly or even to stop meowing altogether.

One effective approach is to provide rewards for quiet meowing, such as treats or verbal praise. Over time, the cat will learn that quiet meowing is more likely to result in rewards and will start to adjust its behavior accordingly. Similarly, you can also use positive reinforcement to discourage excessive meowing. For example, if your Bengal cat is meowing loudly for attention, you can withhold attention or treats until it stops meowing or meows more quietly.
​
It is important to keep in mind that the training process may take time and patience, and may need to be repeated regularly to maintain the desired behavior. However, with a little effort and patience, it is possible to train your Bengal cat to be less noisy, making them an even better companion for you and your family.

Bengal cats are known for their energetic personalities. Bengal cats can be a joy to live with, but their energy levels can also be a source of frustration for some owners. Many Bengal owners may find themselves wondering when their cats will "calm down." In this article, we'll explore the maturity and age of Bengal cats, as well as other factors that can affect a Bengal's personality.

​In conclusion, while a Bengal cat's energy levels may decrease as they age, their personalities and activity levels can vary greatly. Genetics, environment, and how they were raised also play a key role in their behaviour. With proper training and socialization, Bengal cats can make wonderful companion animals. It's always important to be patient and understanding of your cat's unique personality and behavior.

​So, what makes senior cats happy? Keeping them mentally and physically stimulated is key. Interactive toys, scratching posts, and comfortable beds can all help keep them active and engaged. Additionally, providing them with a warm and cozy environment can also make them feel content. Providing your senior cat with a comfortable living environment is also crucial. As cats age, they may have trouble climbing or jumping, so it's important to provide them with a comfortable bed at ground level, and plenty of warm blankets or cushions to snuggle up in. Cats also enjoy a warm and cozy spot to rest, so consider providing them with a heated bed or pad.

​In terms of activity, it's important to provide your senior cat with plenty of opportunities for exercise and play, but be mindful that they may not have the energy levels of a younger cat. Short play sessions or interactive toys may be more appropriate. Consider providing your senior cat with a scratching post or cardboard box to keep them mentally and physically stimulated.

​Senior cats may also experience changes in their behavior such as increased sleeping, decreased grooming or problems with litter box use. These changes can be due to a variety of reasons such as arthritis or dental issues. If you notice any changes in your senior cat's behavior, talk to your vet to rule out any underlying medical conditions and to come up with a plan to manage them.

​One common issue that many cat owners face is their senior cats meowing excessively. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as changes in vision or hearing, or simply because they are trying to communicate their needs. If your 17 year old cat is meowing excessively, consult with your vet to rule out any underlying health issues.

Follow these steps to successfully harness train your cat to enjoy walking on a leash!

There is probably nothing more frustrating to a cat owner than litter box accidents. In fact, habitual litter box accidents are the number one reason why cat owners give their cats up to animal shelters. When your cat refuses to use the litter box, there is usually an underlying reason. Before you become exasperated by your cat's inability to make it to the litter box, here are some common causes for this problem.
 
Litter Box Woes
One of the main reasons why a cat begins to refuse to use the litter box is because their own litter box is dirty. Many cats are extremely fussy about the condition of their litter box, while others will use it no matter how full it looks. If your cat has a litter box accident, the first place you should check is the litter box. Some pets prefer that their litter box be cleaned out after each use. While this is time-consuming for you, it may be a simple fix to this problem. You should start a daily routine of cleaning out your cat box and you may find that this solves your problem.
 
Another common problem related to the litter box is there are not enough litter boxes for the number of cats you have. For example, if you have four cats in your home, you should have at least one litter box per cat. Cats like to have their own space, and this is especially true when it comes to their litter box. In fact, many veterinarians recommend that even if you have only one cat, you should have at least two litter boxes.
 
In addition, when it comes to litter box accidents, look at the type of litter you are using and the size and shape of the litter box. If you have a tray litter box without a lid, maybe your cat would feel more secure in a closed box. If you have an older cat or a young kitten, your cat may have a difficult time getting in and out of a closed-top box. Watch your cat carefully when he or she uses the litter box. If you find that they are having a difficult time getting in and out of the litter box and consider getting a different box. Also, look at the type of litter you use. Your cat may be extremely fussy about the smell or texture of the litter. Many people preferred using the scoop-away litter; however, many cats will not use this type of litter, because it sticks in the paws. You may also find that the litter you use causes a lot of dust that is disagreeable to your cat.
 
Health Issues
Your cat may be refusing to use the litter box, because of health-related issues. If you have tried all the above tips and nothing seems to be working, then it is time to visit your veterinarian.  Cats that have bladder problems, urinary tract infections, kidney failure, and diabetes are more prone to litter box accidents than healthy cats. You need to take your cat to the vet and have a thorough health exam performed to find out if your cat is suffering from an ailment. If this is the case, your veterinarian can prescribe medication to help your cat.
 
Habit and Your Cat’s Territory
If your cat has been ill or has stopped using the litter box for any reason, you may find that your cat returns to their old ways out of habit. It is extremely important that when your cat has a litter box accident, you clean the area thoroughly to get rid of any odors that may remain. In addition, your cat may have not stopped using the litter box at all but instead, your cat is marking his or her territory.  This is especially common in multi-cat households or when you bring a new pet into the home.
 
When you determine why your cat is having litter box accidents, you can find a solution. It takes time and patience; however, this is much preferable to unnecessarily ending your relationship with your beloved pet.
