It's a tough question to answer, as intelligence is relative and subjective. That said, here are some thoughts on the matter.  Bengal cats are definitely intelligent cats. They're very active, curious and playful, always looking for new things to explore. They're also quick learners and can pick up new tricks quickly. So it's safe to say that they're smarter than the average cat.  Now, whether or not Bengal cats are more intelligent than other black cat breeds is debatable. Some people might say that siamese cats are more intelligent because they're more vocal and communicative than other cat breeds. Others might say that Maine Coons are the smartest of all because of their large size and their ability to bond closely with their human companions.  In the end, it's up to you to decide which cat breed (Bengal cat breed in my opinion) you think is the smartest. But there's no denying that Bengal cats are intelligent creatures that make great pets for active and curious families.
