Talk to several breeders.
LOOK at photos --- there are a lot of GOOD breeders out there - and it helps to develop a relationship with someone who has cats/kittens that you like the LOOK of -- and tell them which personality characteristics and "appearance" traits MOST APPEAL TO YOU !!!
I have 4 bengals -- 2 sisters that are a little over a year -- and 2 kittens (brother and sister) who are about 5 months. Their personalities are different, and all of them keep me in stitches with their antics!
Good luck on your search. Ask a LOT of questions... and LOOK, LOOK, LOOK... I'm sure when you see the "perfect" cat... you'll just KNOW it's the one you HAVE to have
Actually, when I went to VISIT the cattery I got the sisters from... ONE of the sisters PICKED ME... while I was there to see the other sister -- so I came home with them BOTH... nothing sweeter than watching them cuddle and wash one another
