-- Because of the aforementioned observations, but especially for those who are considering an FG cat as a pet for the home, special care and handling are needed. Here, you have to structure or create, as best as you can, an environment that suits the cat's overall nature. In other words, make his new home a comfortable, safe, and quiet place. If you have, as an example, a noisy household with small children running around, it's probably not a good idea to have an FG cat. On the other hand, an FG kitten that is lovingly hand-raised, may, in some environments, adapt easily, exhibiting a calm and affectionate disposition as they mature (however, you can never be absolutely certain). Nonetheless, because of their wild tendencies, we strongly feel FG cats are not suitable for the majority of households. So, if you are looking for a Bengal as a companion or pet for the home, what you should be considering are SBT cats (later generation, beyond F4). At these genetic levels, they have, for the most part, reached domesticity, are easily cared for, and have a loving and care-free nature. They are also the most commonly available to the trade, since most Bengal catteries breed only later generation cats (Champion Flare and Imaginique's Trinity , shown below, are examples of SBT Bengal cats).
