How To Choose Bengal Kittens

By Rebecca Allen


You have been dreaming of owning a cat that will be putting a smile on your face each time you look at it. Being your first time to own a cat, Bengal kittens would be the ideal breed to start with. With that in mind, you may also want to make sure that you find a good breeder to choose your kitten from. Trying to find the right breeder can prove to be an overwhelming task.

Begin by getting names of the prospective breeders in your area. There are people who already own these cats in your community. Take time to talk to them so you can have a better idea of what it feels like to own this breed. Then ask about the breeder who sold the cat to them. In the event that you are unable to get solid referrals from people you know, consider checking online.

Most people buy kitties only for the cats to start feeling lonely because they are not home most of the time. If you are such a person, you should be considering buying two kitties. They will keep each other warm in your absence. You do not want to come back home to find your cat missing because it went out trying to find company. Introducing two kitties from the same litter is much easier.

Do not feel obliged to buy two Bengals just because your breeder has promised you a great discount. You may want to look for another breed that will complement the personality of the latter. You must however make sure that you introduce these cats in your home at the same time. You do not want one to establish its territory before you introduce its partner.

After determining the number of kitties to buy, it is best that you start telephoning a few breeders to have an idea of their prices. The make arrangements to go and visit the various breeders so you can see their litters. It is recommended that you allow time between the visits so you can wash and have a change of clothes to avoid cross infections.

There are other factors that you have to consider when buying a cat. First off, ask your prospective breeder whether they will give you a purchase agreement upon buying the cat. Secondly, complications could arise with when you introduce the cat in your home. If someone develops allergies with the cat, it is important that the breeder be in a position to take back the kitty.

While most breeders may not take back the kitties they have already sold, they will help you find another home where you can take the cat. This is very important in ensuring that you do not have a difficult time exiting the cat from your home. You may also want to find out from your potential breeder whether they will give you a health guarantee.

The time you are meeting your potential new kitty, you should be in a position to handle them. Make sure that they are alert and healthy. If possible, play with them to observe their reaction. Find out if the breeder has run all tests to ascertain that the breed is healthy.
