It is very possible that the Bengal cat referred to is not neutered and without wishing to defend the Bengal cat, any male roaming domestic cat who is not neutered will tend to be very territorial and more aggressive. Also they will spray to mark their territory. So this could be about neutering or not neutering rather than the Bengal cat breed.<br /><br />It may be the case Michael Broad LLB, ARPShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16519409844284574079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053301620588978911.post-5149399262803657692014-06-23T09:06:20.097+00:002014-06-23T09:06:20.097+00:00Helena,I agree with you,we have the same problem,A...Helena,I agree with you,we have the same problem,A Bengal cat is terrosising are neighbourhood we are up all night by this cat fighting spraying everwhere.some breeders might be very good,but a lot are not and only in it for the money.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7053301620588978911.post-21651547430307803272014-04-04T06:46:26.398+00:002014-04-04T06:46:26.398+00:00Thank you for your comment.
