What Is the Bengal Cat’s Temperament Like?

The Bengal cat is alert, active, and somewhat timid around strangers. It likes to act alone and dislikes human interference; unlike dogs, it does not show strong dependence on its owner, nor is it as gentle as other cats. In addition, the Bengal adapts well, fitting into a new environment quickly, is very curious, likes to explore, is good at climbing and jumping, and has excellent hunting ability.

However, a Bengal raised from kittenhood is fairly gentle, very loyal to its owner, and willing to get along, and can become an excellent family pet cat.
