Hello everyone! My first post here, and it´s about choosing!
I´ve been wanting to buy cats for about 10 years now, and I´ve read about it and seriously considered it the last 3 years. I´ve read quite a bit of information and stuff on the net, but there are some questions I haven´t found good answers to! So, any help from owners or (even better!) experienced breeders would be very helpful!
1. I´ve read a couple of times that people advice against having a Bengal as your first cat. Why is that? Is it because it´s such an active cat that requires a lot of attention, or is it the cost of getting and keeping them, or just for fear that people will buy the without thinking enough about it?
During the last three years I´ve been looking around on what breed I would like to have, and the Bengal attracts me more than any other breed. In fact, most others seem quite boring in comparison! (no offense to anyone, it´s just a matter of taste of course!
I like the Maine Coon though, but the Bengal is even better (I know they are very different breeds...)
So, getting another breed doesn´t really feel like an alternative - I would probably feel that it wasn´t the cat that I really wanted!
2. I´m planning on getting two Bengals so that they can play with each other. Is it best to get them from the same litter, or at least litters that have been living at the same place during the same time? From the same litter could be hard since Im thinking of getting one silver rosetted and one snow.
By the way, do I have to have two litter boxes if I have two cats, or do they use the same one?
Ok, thanks!
