My bengal wakes me up during the night, every night. But, he is a grazer and has to eat a little throughout the entire day and night. There is dry food out at all times for both cats, but Raiden throws it up as he has no teeth to chew it and break up the pieces, so he gets wet food. I would make sure Bella eats before you go to bed, although she will be hungry again by 6:30.
The one thing a bengal does not want you to do is to close them off. If I close a door, Raiden will open it. Our interior doors have lever handles and he can open them in or out. And I hate to shut him in any time. I do it when we are bringing in groceries as he will run through your legs out the door. But, outside of that, the entire house is open to him and he is generally in the same room as me or my husband and he sleeps at my feet at night. Bella needs to be with you as much as possible.
I don't like being woken up during the night either, but if you had a crying child, you would be getting up to see what was going on. You and I are both too old to be dealing with this, but we are. LOL
