Demanding... that is very true. We had researched Bengals before buying one, but even then we were unprepared for their intense personalities. Only after trial and error, and a lot more research and inquiry, did we finally see what WE were doing wrong, and how to adapt to these curious cats. We do have lots of toys for them, and we shower them with attention when they want it (there are times our male will just want to rub our legs, or wants an ear scratch, but neither like to be held or cuddled, and they never sit in our laps - only next to us). The female is the most affectionate - she seems to have "picked" me as her favorite of the household, and will chase me upstairs after a day at the office, and just talk talk talk, roll around and have me rub her belly. Her favorite game (which can go on for 20 mins or so till she's bored) is a paper ball toss. She'll sit and wait for me to toss it to her, and she'll snatch it up in her paws in a flash. Then she falls on her side with it, purring madly, and waits for me to replay the game over and over. It is soooooooo funny and simple, but she adores it. When she's had her fill, she'll leave me to find Leo, and romp around the house with him. Leo is more of a daddy's boy, and he'll curl up between my husband's legs at night, or bite his toes looking to play. He knows the sound of his car, and comes racing to the front door to greet him after work with howls, chirps, and purring.
So, honestly, once you figure out what it'll take to make your Bengal happy, you'll find so much more joy in their company. They really are a treat to watch. hehe
