Bengal: After 1 years, still the best cat breed for families

Our Bengal has been part of our family for 1 years and I still get emotional thinking about how much she has enriched our lives. stunning wild appearance — and with two young kids, that means everything.

loves water. We've tried other breeds before but nothing compares to the Bengal's temperament. She is wild-looking, energetic, intelligent and adapts beautifully to our busy household.

The main things to budget for: extremely high energy. We also learned about hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, so we get regular vet checkups. Overall cost is higher than I expected initially, but every penny is worth it. Highly recommend this breed to anyone and everyone.
