so you want a bengal cat 

my wifes bangel of 15 years would steel noodles off her plate. thunder would not eat tuna. but you open a can of spegity O's and hes running to your side and would sit right in front of you waiting for you to give him some. if you brought out a suitcase and not his carrier he would wait till you packed it and pee on the cloths when your back was turned. he had to go with you. he would crawl up on your lap and go to sleep and if you moved and woke him he would claw you. we miss him lol

To a Bengal, the word "NO!" is only an invitation to play..

Awwww sweet mischievous little ball of purr. I love his shenanigans! My bengals very much the same. Lots of energy combined with all that curiousity makes for one hell of a kitty experience!

Pretty obvious the cat is bored. Give it places to climb and activate it more.

Bengals are fantastic. Mine destroys everything I love, but the moment he cuddles up with me at night I can't help but adore him.

I laughed so hard when you found him just chilling in the bathtub😂

Thanks for sharing! Gatsby is so much like my own Bengal, Chief. He pretty much does all the same things and then some. We found out early on that he LOVES to fetch things like a dog, it definitely makes playing easier. We also found out that he likes to talk and get into every nook and cranny. In fact he gets into so many odd places he was able to retrieve a very special ring I lost in a couch 6 years previous and had never been able to get out. Bengals are truly special friends.

Mt cat Tigger is half Bengal and Half Egyptian Mau... yes as a kitten it was a game of "what can I push on the floor that I am not supposed to touch", but he is a very good cat now that he is 10, still climbs where he isn't supposed to and gives me a what look when I tell him to get down... fiercely loyal and when an uninvited male guest at a party slapped me(he was the friend f a friend of a friend... yeah one of those) Tigger attacked him, 22 stitches later at the ER they had the bleeding stopped... Tigger got an extra treat that night before bed! I had asked the guy to leave because he would crash parties and get stupid drunk, get into fights, trash houses... he was not wanted in my house and Tigger picked up on it! Tigger is 2 feet long not including tail and weighs 20 pounds...

I was having a bad day. Seeing this video just cheered me up. Thanks!

I've watched this video more than once when I was searching for my own Bengal cat and it just made me absolutely determined to find mine. Now after having my Bengal "Leo" for almost a year, he does all the same crazy cat stuff like Gatsby xD, I wish you both well and thank you.

This is exactly what I go through! Too funny. I couldn't ask for a more fun and exciting cat. Great video!

This is one of the best videos I've seen to really show the absolute craziness of this breed. Good job! Me and my two bengals salute you!

4:14 "Dont hit the tarus"( Or what ever it is). Continues to point laser pointer at object.

i have a melanistic bengal, he's completely crazy and has wrecked everything he's come in contact with....there should be a support group for us owners :)

Oh gosh it's like he knows what he's doing when he knocks stuff down....cute little troublemaker

LOL....such a BEAUTIFUL cat...I was given a kitten by a co-worker that he almost hit w/ his car....turns out his gave me a Bengal cat! LOL He's only about 3 months old, so he is growing a pound a month in addition to his markings and facial features changing by the day. It's amazing to watch and I'm such a proud momma, knowing someone gave me a Bengal cat because he didnt want to put the time and energy into a kitten, that I know he had no clue was a Bengal :)

your bengal is really calm compared to my guy. just while watching this video he has splashed all the the water out of his bowl with his paws, and pulled open the drawer where i hide the toys he cant have when not being watched. he has also managed to figure out how to do things suck as pulls pieces off the toilet in the master bedroom and hide them. So we have to search the entire house for the damn flush button.

2. All of my cats love a box with holes in it. I tie a shoelace through the hole and tie a fur mouse to it. Each box has a toy tied to each end. They never seem to get bored with this box. My Siamese and my first Burmese cats loved to play with Kleenex and shred the toilet paper. My solution to keeping the toilet paper safe was to keep several rolls in a large tin popcorn tin. They both also learned how to open cupboard doors and get at whatever was inside. I came home one day and found my large bag of flour all over the kitchen floor and a bag of kibble all over the flour. My Siamese actually learned to put her two paws around the round doorknob and open the door. I have no idea that cats were that smart or strong. I had to get a doorknob with a lock on it to keep her out of 1 room. I had a plastic zip tie that I put around the 2 double cupboard doors...she just chewed her way through it. God, I loved that cat!!!

So cute 😍👌🏻 mine has 7 month’s. Her name is Pixie. We really loved her energy. She’s so calm early in the morning, make some hugs and kisses she’s the best cat ever. Best parts of a cat and a dog. My 12 and 14 years old kids do everything they wanted with her, runs, climbs and talked. Yes she’s talk a lot and bring the ball 🏀. Bengals cats are the best !!! Thank’s for sharing your videos !! Loved it so much !!!

Your cat is awesome and this video made my night. Thanks!

Bengal's are crazy, but cute, but loud, but fun. :D

well you do provoke him by having lots of random shit everywhere :P

I just saw your video in my newsfeed . Had to watch. You cat is adorable. And so are you. Btw love your bowshaped lips. My childhood best friend had that feature. I absolutely love that look. U are so cute. Make more kittie videos.

Just saw this, folks are getting a Bengal and wanted to see what they were getting into. I was expecting a cat-lovers-frenzy-video, you know the kind I mean. I was surprised when it was actually quite good. Thanks for the great vid and restoring my faith in cat lovers :) ha, that sounds so patronizing. I didn't mean it like that at all. I'll be coming back to see what else you upload :) Ciao!

i have a bengal cat and he is gorgeous just like gatsby! he likes to tear the curtains and go into the gutters and drains when it's raining since he loves water. he also jumps out of the windows on the second story of the house and goes in the fish pond :/

Give it a cat tree! Bengals LOVE to climb and reach high places (like bookshelves)!

I also have a Bengal, and she is quite the little terror. Most loving little ball of crazy though. She loves people, loves water, loves destroying things, and loves to hang out on my shoulder. She will sit on my shoulder while I'm cooking dinner and not move until I sit down to eat. Gatsby is beautiful! You're quite funny too :)

You are so funny! Made my day watching your goofy video. Thanks for the great post. and ConGRADuations! I have three Siamese, enough said. Clearly you adore Gadsby. Hope you have a long and happy life with him. He's a beauty.

I love my bengal although I could pinch her ears off sometimes... ALOT OF TIMES. Lol I can't imagine the trouble she'd get into if she didn't have my two domestic cats to play with. Even with them she gets into plenty of trouble. My best advice is get him a playmate. Maybe a domestic cat unless you're home a good bit and if so then another Bengal. But beware of double the trouble.

This is not the case with every Bengal cat. I too was affraid of the demolition he might do to my house but with just a bit of training (scolding for things he shouldn't do) he turned out to be a very sweet cat. Almost not bengal like :) He just likes to run but after he's 1year old he spends alot of time sleeping just like most cats :) Never destroyed anything! Love him!

Thank you! Oh my goodness, they have the most beautiful coats. And they're incredibly soft, they keep the softness they have as kittens! I do try and train him to not climb all over things but he's so sneaky ugh it's so difficult! And thank you!!

haha! you must be constantly tidying up! amazing cat

That is just the normal behavior of an indoor cat. Not insane, normal.

Yup, just like my Bengal Darth Xander, except mine is VERY affectionate as in face huger. He likes to throw his paws over my shoulder (and anyone else who will let him) and stick his head under my chin. Bengals are like having a toddler with sharp nails.

Your video is priceless. Most cats do that, but Bengal cats are just ten times stronger than any normal cat, i mean, i have scars from playing with my two Bengals, and they're able to knock really heavy things off of your shelters... They have a tendency to jump and climb on everything i love. One of them is not bothered at all by people or big dogs, which can be very dangerous for him but hey, he's just too wild to keep in the house. The other one is a female, and she's SO tense, whenever she's in someon's arms she's literally hanging off the person's arms. But they're also worth heaps of love and cuddles, like any other cat. Love your pets, people, they'll return it!

Nice video! I have a Norwegian Forest Cat that is just like your cat, extremely active and can really stretch my patience :P He usually stays outside for a couple of days, before he brings me all kind of dead stuff.. Mice, birds, snakes etc. and is always a proud hunter, that likes to sleep for hours beside me in the sofa ;)

Cute cat. It's actually beautiful

i only see people with no idea about how a cat thinks or is

I'm getting one this weekend, you should let him run around in the park, ideally on a cat lead, get rid of that pent up energy lol x love your video x & congratulations on your graduation :)

Beautiful cat! Cats do the darndest things, they always make me laugh!

That's just a cat being a cat! All my stray cats do that kind of stuff...

Bengals, not for beginers lol! I gots a mellow one :) *smug face*

We ended up with a Bengal quite by accident. We rescued him at 4 weeks old when he just looked like a little tabby. Imagine our surprise! Your video answered a lot of questions... and scared us just a little! Lol...

Aww he's beautiful & he has blue eyes!!!!!! :D my bengals called jasmin (after princess jasmine lol) shes so funny plays with her tail chases it like a dog..loves water. .always climbing up me she likes to sit on my shoulder lol..& she has the cutest meow ever sooo cute & feminine & she answers me when I talk to her :) I love Bengals I want loads more xx

Bengal cats are amazing animals , but they require a house with a large yard to play and climb trees , chase bird etc.... Definitely not an apartment animal , sorry

The reason he's doing a lot of things is because you haven't become the Alpha and taken his cute little self by the reigns. I did this Day 1 when I got mine, at 10 months old, and he listens to me like a dog does. That's why he doesn't listen to you. But adorable video, anywho! :-)

Hi there, I LOVE your cat!!...My Turkish Angora cat Tao was like this all the time, she was pure white very vocal but sadly I had to get her put down last year because of a tumour!...I still haven't gotten over her but feel that little bit better when i watch hours & hours of clips like these

We have 2 Bengal cats that will soon turn 2. They are great. They may always be busy and looking for trouble but they are fun and entertaining. I admit they are sometimes a handful but they get along with our 2 7 month old Bobtails and keep our house fun of love and laughter.

.....and maybe clean your house so he isn't able to get into so much "trouble".

I've watched your video and find it highly ironic then while you might be highlighting what you consider to be negative points about about the bengal breed , albeit in a light hearted manor . - your cat is clearly bored has no heights to get or jump to which the breed needs also you mentioned your a student are you out at school a lot of the day - they get lonely and crave attention it's clear that's what he's after when your back - also your living what looks to be in student digs and I expect the cat is mainly confined to that tiny room - do you allow him safe access to fresh air or not - I feel extremely sorry for him - I hope that when (if not already ) you have graduated you move and provide him with a better home with more space and heights and less clutter to live in - and maybe an outside pen. And a companion to play with . I have 2 bengals and a bombay myself and would never be so selfish to raise an animal in this manner - did you not do your research before purchasing the cat ?

He is so cute. And he has a gorgeous yet mischievous looking face.

Thank you! Whoa that's awesome, I've never heard of a Savannah with Bengal mixed in! I bet she is drop-dead gorgeous (and a whole lot of wild-crazy :D)

Congrats on graduating college (I'm way late sorry) . Hope things are well with you. Your cat is cute/funny. Hope he's doing well too

Our domestic siamese does the same, his favorite is knocking things off of the counter tops and watching our bull dog chew it up. They really do make a great team. You'll notice a lot less mischief if you engage your pet in daily play times, a simple string and feather works wonders for the longevity of our nick nacks.

Of course I can never get too frustrated when my Bengal completes such complicated mischief.. I can only be impressed :)

Awesome name-he is Gorgeous! Plus, I SEE a TARDISSSS! YAY...yes...Bengals are...special...although my Maria (Middle name Het-Heret didn't seem to enjoy water as much as many other Bengals...she also had arthritis in her left hind leg, although you wouldn't know it by how she jumped and had to have at least 5 teeth removed due to poor care at the previous home she was in (she was adopted from a no-kill shelter as were most of my cats).

My Bengal cat (I have two, but one in particular) has a habit of knocking over glasses. If you take your eyes away from your glass, one minute later you will hear a loud bang and water spilling on the carpet. He literally doesn't give up, if it is heavy he will use both paws to push the glass. Bengals can be very naughty, but they are so irresistible :) (btw ur Bengal is stunning, have you ever thought about showing him?)

I’m reading Jackson Galaxy’s book because I have a Bengal. They are very smart and need a lot of play. Intense play.

Oh! That's neat!(: it's a good combination!! He's a unique little man!!(:

omg, I couldn't help notice the wheel of times books, I'm a fan of the series too ^_^

Cute video! Your cat is gorgeous! My bengal girly lurrves knocking the pen pot of the desk and pushing them all under the sofa...

Beautiful kitty! Wish I had his energy.

He's a real sweetie! Reminds me of my Bubba, who is a HUGE brown tabby/Bengal cross. Sweetest guy ever. Looks after his littermate twin brother, who was born without one back leg. Runs like the wind, though, doesn't let anything slow him down. They really are a magical breed. He's lucky to have you in his life!

I have two Bengals, Echo, my boy kitty, and Moyà, my little girl. They're the only breed of cat I've ever had and the destruction is normal, but they're my babies. I love how Moyà knocks everything over, not really, and Echo climbs into anything and everything. I have to wash my dishes twice. Once after use and again before use to get rid of cat hair, etc., because they won't stay out of the cupboards!

Beautiful cat! And great name for him !!

Oh most definitely! Especially cups without lids, it's like a magnet for Gatz. They are very much worth it though, I agree. And I'll check them out! Your profile picture of him (I'm assuming that's him) is gorgeous!

He is too cute. My bengal, Kali, likes to do similar thing like hiding behind a curtain at bedtime (even though I can fully see her legs) until you poke it and she goes into attack mode. She also does parkour style wall flips to save time running round corners.

Awesome cat, but I really liked seeing the Tad Williams books on your shelf

The reason I found your video is that my aunt got herself a Begal as well as my cousin, so I had to see what is so great about these types of cats. All I can say now is that my aunt and cousin are going to be having quite the time trying to get their cats out of things. This should be interesting, since I hope that my aunt and cousin know what they are getting into.

Cute kitty! I have a Savannah, and there's a little bit of Bengal in her! So much fun!

I have a Bengal she is the love of my life and completely awesome .

This totally made me giggle. Would love to watch more if you have made any? :)

Aww she sounds great! Bengals are wonderful but yes I agree they are expensive. I got Gatsby very spontaneously, I didn't plan on spending that much but I just fell in love with his cute widdle face :3

Lol this is funny!! I love ur cat he's CRAZY!!

hahaha I have a bengal that does the exact same kind of shenanigans! She's nuts! But soooo sooo sweet

Glad to hear you moved with your Bengal into a larger space. Bengals are very active, have high energy and need interactive play daily. That's you teasing your Bengal with a toy on a stick and string, for at least 10 minutes a day, up to twice a day. If you don't use that Bengal attack/kill energy in a positive way, they're going to take it out on your personal/breakable things.

Props for all the Robert Jordan books she has, and books in general.

I laughed so super hard. He's so fun to watch and here you are in the background saying "no, don't do that" but yet he's totally ignoring you. I love cats like this though because I see it as a challenge to give them plenty to do, train them, and wear them out.

He is so cute. I had a stray mixed cat that was part grey tabby and possibly Bengal. Same shape head and body. Cute mix of blonde and grey stripes that melt into spots. He acted just like him. Sad that he died in June at age four from a genetic disorder causing a blood clot blocked bladder. So glad my three nine year old cats are still going strong.

My cat is a shorthair and during the winter he will get under the covers, if a wadded blanket is somewhere around the house he will find an opening in the blanket & go inside the blanket-completely covered. When making a bed he sometimes comes in and gets on the bed and lays down while you're trying to put the blanket on.

he is so cheeky and cute xxx I love him

Beautiful cat lovely marking. A bit too lively for me but absolutely gorgeous no less. Good funny video . Best wishes from Adrian in Sheffield England.😸😸😸😸😸😸😸😸

This cat made me LOL!! He's very handsome too!

Yup! That's exactly how I feel about Gatz. He's completely insane and destroys lots of things (including knocking over the trash can which ultimately resulted in me slicing my thumb open on some of the sharp trash on the floor...ugh) but I love him to bits and just like you said, I wouldn't trade him for the world!

I have a bangle cat and I haven’t had one problem with him destroying anything with the exception of the 4 foot tall scratching posts otherwise no problem whatsoever. Your cat is truly board you do not deserve to have a cat because you do not purchase what they need to keep them occupied.

He is my first cat, however I had researched the breed heavily before getting him. I love his crazy! This video was made to giggle at it :)

My Bengal, Benson, was very much like that until just recently. He is 16 years old and now has hypertension and can't see well. He's always been my sweet boy. Now he is more of a lap cat. Bengals are wonderful cats? I do recommend to get 2 as they will play and stay somewhat out of trouble.

I love your cat! :D

Perfect training technique! And yes, it's amazing how sweet and loving they are (when they aren't destroying things, but ya know, worth it). Sounds like they've got a great diet, I want to gradually switch Gatz off of the bagged food.

lol I upload heaps of video's about my Bengal cat Tezla. yours is clearly much older than mine. I typically put these youtube video's on for him before i go out for the day, he loves watching Bengals on youtube and gets very excited when episodes of himself come up.

My Bengal does all of this and he isn't even fully a Bengal

Yes i do like them. Thy are cute. I wish i had bangs like yours! :)

I recently got a blue bengal kitten. Lost my last one. At 4 months she is already throwing stuff off tables for new toys. I really enjoyed your video of you and your cat. Would love to see more!

And + I love your videos ✌️

Literally watched this video and laughed because my bengal does the EXACT same things... and I love her :)

A blue bengal?! Whoa! Did not know that existed! I want one!! And thank you so much, I'll try and get some more footage of him :)

lol looks like a lot of fun! Reminds me of my super crazy parrot! Into everything!! trust me you are not alone in the world of crazy pets :)

we adopted a bengal from the shelter unowingly XD I can feel your pain XD he is such a rocket.. like super crazy even with cuddeling..

Bengals are awesome have attitude and love to play and are really clever

your bangs... i dunno why.. but they make me happy
