More Feline Family Members


 

A Bengal kitten adds well to a household of domestic cats.  If you want specific advice on adding a bengal kitten to your household or adding further feline members to your family, you can email me: Dr Nancy Matthews at junglemusicbengals@gmail.com.

Bengals, and cats in general, do best living with members of their own family.  If you want to have more than one cat, the very best is to get two kittens from the same litter or that grew up together from a very young age.  In the wild, keeping the stranger at the periphery for a period of time was a natural quarantine and helped prevent introduction of disease into the colony.  Somewhere in their being, they seem to understand this and often still will attempt to keep strange cats at bay. 

Cats do better living with members of their own family.  For this reason, we offer a discount on the second kitten purchased from the same litter.  It is so good for them to be able to live with a sibling as they go through life. 

Cats are not herd animals. They are solitary hunters and they are territorial. In the wild, for purposes of hunting and reproduction, cats delineate their territories. This can be by scratching and leaving sent with glands on their paws, and glands located throughout their body. This is their method of communication with pheromone hormones. Territories can be more strongly defined by urine markings.  This is the feline's way of avoiding direct conflict: their way of peacefully working out boundaries and not engaging in harmful fighting. 

Resource distribution within the environment goes a long way to promote peace. For more information on resource distribution, please email me at junglemusicbengals@gmail.com.
