Thanks Amymay, he is a fab cat to own, so friendly and SUCH an attention seeker!
Can you believe, from the age of about 4 months he just jumped up to the top of doors! Liked to then drop onto your shoulder as you walked through doorway!
You can see the asian wildcat in him when he does stuff like that - he sails in through our upstairs window accross a good 6ft gap from next-door's balcony!
We were supposed to keep him in (breeder only sells to indoor homes - oops!) but he drove us MAD, and was bullying the dog dreadfully (rottweiler!), and I think you would need a big house and two cats not to be driven totally round the bend by an indoor Bengal. So yes, he goes out - at the end of the day we decided he is a cat, its not fair to lock him up when he clearly wants to be outside so badly. He now terrorises all the neighbourhood wildlife (luckily not birds but regular gifts of mice/rabbits) and everyone for about 10 houses in either direction knows him by name as he joins in all their bbqs etc. Luckily although we have a road in front of the house he seems to prefer the fields/golf course behind! He also stopped using a litter tray the day we unlocked the cat flap - amazing as his mum and dad were both indoor cats.
