I agree with all of the above. It sounds like she is just being a Bengal. I would suggest having a ridiculous amount of toys and play time. I have to wear my guy out or he'd constantly be knocking things over (simply for no other reason than to entertain himself). Believe me, the older she gets the more “trouble” she’s going to get into. Just smile and enjoy her.

I agree, they do understand no.............when I tell Fiona no she stops doing what she is doing...........she meows at me and leaves...............so she definitely understands Another thing that works is having a can of coins in a tin can........I shake the can and both cats run off.................unfortunately for Shakira (the non Bengal) (the innocent by stander) takes off like she is in trouble too..............

hey everyone =)

Our 1yr old Linden loves knocking over glasses too. We've had to retrain ourselves to make sure we don't leave anything on the kitchen counters overnight otherwise it gets smashed when it drops to the floor after she tips it over. I'm more worried for her little paws than the glass =)

I have also found that the fizzier the substance in the glass, the more fun it is to stick your head in it!

We've pretty much both switched over to fancy lidded plastic bottles. Hubby occassionally drinks from glasses but doesn't go any further than the kitchen sink.

The only problem with this is if you leave the top up on the bottle, Linden has figured out that she can tip the bottles over and lick at the water as it drips out! So we've had to make sure we have several bottles around so you have an emergency supply for when you're REALLY thirsty and just discovered your bottle has been cat licked =)

Despite this, and her other quirks, I absolutely love her and would be lost without her!! Can't imagine life without a bengal now =)
