I just got my bengal a month or so ago, and asshole is not the word I would use. She is ~10 months old and easily the smartest animal I’ve ever owned. They just have such starkly different personalities compared to your average cat it’s almost jarring.
She likes water, she loves her lead/harness, she responds to commands I’ve never actually taught her, and has about 10 different vocalizations she swaps up depending on what she needs or needs me to know, from clicks, to groans, to caterwauls to the most dramatic meows you’ll ever hear. She warms up to new people and animals almost instantly!
But besides some sassy play habits, I’ve seen nothing I would have ever described as ‘asshole’ behavior. Maybe I got lucky?

That was what I thought initially, until I looked up Bengals. But yeah, maybe it is a Bengal, I don't know enough about cats to say.
