Tania I was delighted to find someone else with the same problem. We have a Bengal next door who is nice as pie to humans but evil with other cats. He enters our house at night to attack them and I have spent a fortune in vets bills. Our other neighbours have the same problem and the owners are in denial saying how gentle their cat is and that they are only doing what other cats do. That is just not true as other cats have cat ettiquette and rarely enter other cats homes. One of my cats wet herself in fear the other night and the screams are only the sort that are made when a cat thinks they are going to die. Their 2nd Bengal went misteriously missing overnight and yet that does not seem to ring alarm bells with the owner. Even a magnatised door does not stop the cat as it is so large that the obstacle is nothing to them.I was very pleased with the reply as I now have somthing concrete to work on. Lynette

I have a Bengal male (neutered) who is allowed to roam freely outside and has never been kept in. He is soft with other cats, to the point that he has been bring home a local stray, plus we have two cats that live next doors to us and if anything they attack him ..so its not about the fact that you neighbors cat is a Bengal its just cats in general.

i think i have a part bengal cat, because his back has the markings. his legs and part of his face are white though. i dont know if he likes water, and he's scared to go outside because of the chickens, turkeys, and geese. but one time i threw a straw he'd been playing with, and he brought it back for me to throw again. this is now one of his favorite games. also, i have a golden retreiver who's much bigger than my cat is, but my dog for the most part leaves my cat aone. Whenever the dog walks by, the cat hides then pounces on his back leg. isn't that wierd? do you think my cat is part bengal?

I have two male brother Bengal purebreds (Leo & Biggy) who chirp and click at each other and when they fight, they make that puffing noise. They are both neutered and I think I might enter them in a show. This page gave me a few cool facts. Thankyou.

Tania, if your cats are being attacked by the Bengal- I presume the Bengal is allowed to roam outdoors freely.

Most breeders make adopting parents sign paperwork that states the Bengal will NOT roam outdoors freely because of their instinct to hunt and territorial behavior. Please remind your neighbor of this and if you know the breeder they got their cat from, contact them. Such behavior will be at the risk of the adopting owners losing their Bengal. I have a Bengal, so I am speaking from experience. I can 'walk' him on a leash but can not allow him to roam freely.

I have two cats ~ (moggies) and we are having problem with our next door neighbour cat. A Bengal Tom who is very aggressive and have attacked them on various times. I have spoken to the owner who is a Vet but disagrees her cat is a problem and is very friendly. Can we do anything else unless a serious issue occures and then do the police get involved. I just feel our cats and the rest of neighbours cats are not having a good life with this bengal cat being around. Thanks for any advice. Tania

your post is very true. i have two bengals that are both almost two years old. the female tends to show more wild traits then the male. she's also a little reclusive. they "hunt" my dog by stalking. it's wierd.they love to shred everything, especially cardboard. i have had cats my whole life, these cats shocked me at wild they are eventhough they are domesticated. they have a bark sometimes, it freaked me out the first time i heard it. they are very cool pets because they are so different.

My half-Bengal (half British Shorthair) is the most gentle kitten I have ever had. Usually kittens scratch and bite me to bits but this little guy only puts his mouth around me with a little pressure and hardly ever has his claws out! He also likes rid9ing on my shoulder!
