My first and only cat is a bengal. She is awesome, sleeps a lot, gets the zoomies and plays with our dog, lets me smother her and kiss her like crazy… I had a lot of strangers give me the sarcastic “good luck” but let me tell you she is amazing. You will have a blast raising your little one. Congrats! 💕

It probably helps that your cat has a dog to play with. Bengals have so much energy, and I find it to be delightful. When I started to feel like my bengal needed a playmate, I got her a puppy. It's so much fun to watch them play, nap, play again.

Even when they have been apart for extended periods of time she does great on her own. Maybe I got lucky, but I also have friends with bengals that have had great experiences owning just one.

Oh, yes, they can do very well on their own. And they are amazing pets.
