can't voluntarily drop their tails that's always a plus cats are just like having an introverted little no-nonsense two-year-old with an exacto knife and poor communication skills that lives in your house and expresses himself through occasional acts of violence when it comes to handling but they are cute and soft and some of them can enjoy a lot of love before they decide to slash their way to freedom and so we give them a score of NUMBER_TOKEN out of NUMBER_TOKEN for handleability obviously some are better and some are much much worse bengals seem to be pretty good when it comes to care they're pretty much a typical cat and we give them a four out of five just like other cats the biggest differences are that they tend to be more athletic and perhaps a bit more active than most other cats give them non-destructive outlets for that energy and athleticism they will need more interaction than most cats many very much enjoy playing fetch which is a very cool catability that is very common for bengals they also shed less than many other cats that isn't to say that they don't shed just that they shed less otherwise they're pretty typical when it comes to care they will use a litter box eat cat food drink water and generally be cats do keep them indoors i think i made my point pretty clearly in a video on cats but releasing your cat into nature is a horrendous idea and these guys can be escape artists so keep that in mind generally it is terrible for the animals in your area and for the long-term survival of your cat and when you have a cat as expensive as this one it can be terrible for your pocketbook as well this is a beautiful and majestic cat but not so much from inside a coyote or under a car tire ma'am i i think i ran over your cat really what did it look like well well no no i mean i mean before you hit it oh uh well uh sort of like just keep it in the house i'd like to take a moment just to say thank you to our patrons at patreon that make so much possible for us here at clinch reptiles this is so exciting and we are getting to do all kinds of new things go to crazy places to see amazing animals and just show you things that i never would have imagined we'd be able to do and that is thanks to the support of those of you that that already support us on patreon if you would like to see us do a video on ocelots in the future we need to go to texas because michelle knows people that have ocelots so if this is uh an ocelot like an ocelot but isn't has a lot enough for you we need to go to texas please consider supporting us on patreon when it comes to hardiness we give the bengal a score of four out of five in general cats are solid that said there are a few health issues that are common in bengals these are good things to watch out for when buying a bangle these conditions include having an unusually thick heart muscle a condition called hypertrophic cardiomyopathy a degenerative vision disorder called progressive retinal atrophy and a blood disorder called pyruvate kinase deficiency or pk deficiency
