Bengal kittens are tremendously energetic, excitable and active.

They are usually completely decked out in spectacular spots when they are just a few days old and they grow more gorgeous by the day.

Kitten-proofing is required for anyone considering adopting or purchasing a Bengal kitten.

High furniture should be off limits, caution should be taken when holding these busy youngsters, particularly when carrying them across hard wood or tile floors, and spaces under counters and doors should be blocked off as they have a very strong urge to explore.

In Appearance, the Bengal kitten is a bit gangly and the head and paws may seem way too large.

They generally have some fuzziness in the coat until they are about 12 weeks old, and then the sleek and satiny adult coat starts to come in.

They tend to grow quickly and reach mature height at about 6 months, filling out and maturing to full size and weight at about one and a half years old.
