Bengals and Children/kids

People ask us all the time if their new or future Bengal kitten or kittens will get along with children, other kittens, spouses and dogs. So far at least in our experience I can happily report that every kitten we have ever raised got along with everyone in the family and especially the children.

The key in my opinion is carefully introducing the new kitten to the family in a very controlled and loving way and not trying to rush it.  First impressions are very important so letting the kitten settle in for a week or more before exposing them to extra stress works best.

Then after the kitten has adjusted to its new home environment and has a SAFE place you can slowly allow them to explore and meet the other members of the family.

We try hard to expose our kittens to all of the daily activities in an average home to insure that they are comfortable when they get to their new forever homes.  Additionally we partially bottle feed each and every one of our kittens to insure that they are very bonded to humans and have a good sense of trust for humans. We NEVER cage our kittens and feed them the best quality fresh, canned and kibble that we can find.

The key of course is to find the right Bengal breeder, one that never cages the kittens, properly socializes them and can be counted on after you have your new kitten to answer questions and help is issues do arise.  

Never deal with breeders that will not talk to you on the phone, If they won't do it before you buy the kitten, you can be sure they won't afterwards. 

Look for breeders that will send fresh pictures and video of the kittens.  If they will not you need to consider why. Are the kittens in cages? Away from the house in some shed or barn? Does the person even have the kittens or is it a scam?

If they are away from the house, in a garage, shed, barn, caged etc. How socialized could they be? 
​The first 8 to 10 weeks of a kittens life determine it's personality for life!

There are MANY Bengal Scammers online so be sure to do your homework.  Here is a link to a post we did on how to check out potential breeders to insure that you find a Reputable and Verified Bengal breeder.
