I recently got a little 6 month Bengal and all is well until I try to go to bed. Like tonight, he started screaming at 11pm and it's 6:25 and he's STILL doing it! I have no idea what to do. I tried locking him out of my room, but he got louder! I live in an apartment and I feel really bad for my roommate. I'd hate to have to get rid of him, but I might not have a choice if he doesn't stop it.

Hi & welcome to the forum,

How long have you had the kitten ? is he or she sociable with you or tends to keep away from you, do you live in a noisey area?

Try not to isolate the cat from you. it wil get scared and make more noise for attention, its not going to help. you really would not want to be locked in there.....

If its a new bengal it will be missing its previous owner or family, try playing with the cat for a while before you go to bed to tire him/her out... You need to bond with a new cat to earn its trust and affection, that way it will feel confortable with you...

Hope that helps

He will settle down I promise. Unfortunately you have to put up with it, and wait for him to stop. Ignore him completely and he wil get fed-up eventually

Heard this so many times with Bengals...We once homed a kitten who stood at the top of the stairs and howled for Engalnd. The new owners were ready to bring him back reluctantly as they too were worried about the neighbours; luckily after a couple of weeks, he stopped and is now a strapping fur-ball minus the eager vocal chords

So..treat him the same, ignore him and soon the sound of silence will prevail

Thanks!

I've had him for about a month now and he's super social. In fact, he's in my lap right now. I live in a condo outside of Phoenix that I've found really quiet.

I feel like I have to isolate him because he constantly wakes me up and demands attention. My boss has even noticed my lack of sleep, which is really scary.

I hate to say it, but there is only one fail-safe way to cure a noisy bengal who keeps you awake in the early hours.....Another one

I agree, he will eventually mellow, some, but the only way to get him to completely stop is another one...
That said, Here's my experience: I had 4 cats, got Zigmund, he would yowel and howel all night; we have had him since he was about 8 months old, he is now 14 months. He is quieter when Simba is in the house, sometimes but rarely Itchy will let him cuddle with him... I came down with some terrible funk yesterday and my sweet Ziggy stayed with me quietly all night last night, either in my armpit or on my chest.
IE - maybe he just needs to bond with someone ... on his OWN time.
