I am going through the process of adopting a Bengal and am in the fortunate position of choosing one from four available (from different homes/backgrounds). They all appear to be well loved and well adjusted adult cats looking for a new home due owner reasons (relocating, no time etc).
They all look like they will be a great match to my rural home/environment so it is proving difficult to decide on which cat. Our previous cat was a great mouser/rabbiter and since her demise - I've noticed the numbers are growing. If the new cat was of this ilk, this would be an advantage to us and (I should think) nice for the cat to do what it enjoys. Less so enjoyable for the rodents!
One of the four potential cats has 'previous' on hunting but she is the least pretty (awwwww) and the other three - I've been told by their individual owners - would hunt, but just haven't had the ability in their existing homes.
I'm going to see them all again over the next week and was thinking of taking a 'tickler' or similar to test them out. Is this a bonkers idea or is there some logic in my testing!?!
Any thoughts on hunting /Bengal traits most welcome.
