If you want a new pet for your family and can't decide, a Bengal kitten would be a great choice for you. Keep reading to learn more about this adorable kitten, as well as tips on finding a good breeder. 

Personality

Bengal cats love to be near their humans throughout the day and until you go to bed at night. Most will enjoy kids and get along with other pets in your home. This is especially true if you already have these pets when you bring your Bengal kitten home. Because they love to be near their humans, they do not do well if left alone throughout the day. They may get into trouble if they become bored. If you cannot be home enough, purchase two Bengal kittens instead of one. 

These cats are affectionate and enjoy being petted and even being held. Do not be surprised if you find your kitten curled up with you at night. They are active cats and love to play, so make sure you have enough toys around for them. Purchase a cat tree for them as they also love to climb. 

Grooming

There is not much grooming you have to do if you get a Bengal kitten. They have silky coats that can be short or long depending on their parents. If they have longer hair, brush your cat a few times a week. They will enjoy this time with you. You will find that they do this much of their cleaning on their own. 

Keep their nails clipped regularly, which is generally once a month. Take your cat to a veterinarian to have their nails clipped if you are not experienced. If you are able, brush your cat's teeth daily. If you start this when they are a kitten, it will be much easier for you as your cat gets older.

Find a Breeder

Start looking for breeders online as well as ask friends and family. Once you find a few breeders, visit them and see if they have adult cats. If so, look at the cats closely to see how happy and healthy they are. If they still have the mom, ask to see her as well. Seeing mom will also give you a much better idea of what your kitten is going to look like when they are an adult. 

Ask the breeder if their kittens have had a health check from a veterinarian and if they have had their immunizations. The kitten should also be dewormed before you bring it home with you. Ask how they choose their buyers. They should not let anyone walk in and purchase a kitten without screening them first.
