Looking low to the ground is a good thing for their first month or two. After that though, you gotta look *up*. I think that was one of the biggest difference between the bengals and other cats I've had. Their desire to get to the highest points of the home, play up there, and then find a way down causes a lot of problems.
For example:
1. Jumping from floor to counter to top of refrigerator to top of kitchen cabinets (like 2ft from a high ceiling) and then running amok up there. 2. Jumping from floor to top of audio cabinet to top of wall system/cabinets, then having a problem getting down from there (until I installed the hicat and shelving) 3. climbing the curtains, getting all the way up to the curtain rod, running across the curtain rod and climbing down to the top of a tall bookcase. 4. climbing to the top of a tall cat tree, then leaping from there to the top of a bookcase 5. jumping from the floor to the bathroom counter, and from there to the top of the walk-in shower. Impressive since the shower wall is like an inch thick, so it's like walking a tight-rope up there.
One of the biggest problems of each of these examples, is they get themselves in situations where it's pretty difficult to get *down* from there.
