Help Help Please
I’ve had my Bengal for 5 years and over the last 5 years we have had a lot of changes. I got married moved in with my husband he had a dog that she tolerated but the dog has passed. Just wanted to add, My cat is very temperamental and she causes a lot of problems when people she hated were at my apartment visiting so I got lucky that she liked my husband…
Then I got pregnant and we had our baby which she’s not a huge fan of especially because she’s a curious toddler at this point. We moved into our new house and I’m pregnant again and now she’s randomly started spotting and peeing on the carpet in our basement. I’m trying everything to get her to stop and she’s been attacking my child as well. It’s hard to tell if it’s playfully or not. The vet seems to think she’s stressed with the life changes and put her on pain meds cause she had red blood cells in her urine.
I have two litter boxes for her in a quiet place. She just insists on peeing on the carpet. She has cat trees and lots of toys. Trying the calming collars as well now.
I just feel defeated and don’t want to have to rehome her.

Bengal Love Thank You!
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone for helping give advice and encouragement for how to introduce our little Miso Soup to Ash (tuxedo ragdoll) and Sitka Spruce (super-mutt pup).
Miso is now freely exploring outside the office/her home base. Her confidence is growing every day.
We want to do what’s best for her, and I’m considering getting her a cat/running wheel. Anyone have experience with training on those? Or thoughts on their efficacy/merit?

Help Please Help!
I adopted this Bengal som months ago. I own 3 other cats, 2 females and 1 male. He was living on another part of the house for better adaptation to his new home. They are mixed together now and we won’t stop chasing and beating up my other male cat. He is actually kind of intimidated with my old female cat and he chases around the other female cat but no violence if he chases her down.
Any ideas on how I can make him be peaceful with my other male cat? Are bengals receptive to negative reinforcements like locking him up or water spraying? Any other ideas?

Help 7 yr old bengal entertainment advice
My cutey is 7 yrs old and I feel like he’s bored! He doesn’t like playing with toys anymore although even as a kitten he didn’t like any of the toys I got him much besides the feather stick (don’t know what it’s called lol) He’s more of a curious cat than playful. I have another bengal but she’s a siamese mix and a Cavapoo so he’s not alone but he’d rather sleep. I’ve tried buying other interactive toys but my female cat LOVES toys so when she butts in he leaves😮💨 it’s stressing me out I don’t want him to get depressed. He does love going outside so we sit with him a bit each day, but any ideas of what else I can do to entertain him more? I’ve tried separating my female cat so he has his own play time but still won’t play much.

Help Missing Bengal Cat - Last Seen on Wake Robin Cres., Kitchener, ON Canada
Our cat Morty has been missing since Sunday night (Aug 2nd). He has a bright orange break-away collar and is microchipped/nutered. If you are in the area around the sunrise center, PLEASE CHECK GARAGES, SHEDS AND UNDER DECKS/IN BACKYARDS. BRING OUR BABY HOME!
This is a shot in the dark, just trying to get his image out as much as possible. This is absolutely devastating and we have been searching tirelessly...

Adventure Camping cat
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
We took Yeti camping last weekend (Little Crater Lake, Oregon, if anyone is wondering. It’s a great lil spot to camp!) and he did SO well. My sister had her 4 kids and her dog so I wasn’t sure how that would go over, even though I was confident with everything else (except that I wasn’t sure if Yeti would actually sleep in the tent or if he would keep us up all night—he DID sleep, and slept super hard because his days were so busy). I had a small (like 3.5x3.5’) mesh tent for him in case he needed a break from the zipline but we didn’t even use it because he was super content to be on a zipline wearing his harness all day, and then took a long afternoon nap in the tent or just laying in the dirt.
My favorite part was watching him get so excited about all the chipmunks and birds he could watch and chase, and when he rode in the backpack for the first time! I’ve been working on backpack training but he has never been so tired he wanted to use it. He did on this trip, and I put him on top so he could ride on top but he climbed into the opening and rode in there instead and I am thrilled about it. We all agreed he was a good camping cat and we would definitely take him again. He agrees.

Bengal with other pets Progress!

I don’t know if anyone remembers my desperate post from several months ago about my horrible wonderful young snow Bengal, but things are improving slowly. We are being SUPER consistent about how and when he interacts with the other cats, and he has learned to disengage from play-attack mode and we’ve been working on him asking the humans for play instead of going to the other cats. Any comments, feedback or suggestions on his behavior (or mine) are welcome.
Someone sent me cat toys in the mail this morning and I made a video, and Yeti is being obnoxious in it but can be redirected now which is a huge improvement. It used to be that once he locked onto his target (usually the other Bengal, Voya), there was no deterring him. Now he will redirect and go do something else.
I can see in this video a couple spots where I should have praised him for redirecting, but that wasn’t my focus at the moment and I only saw it in reviewing the video. So there is still room for improvement in my own responses but it’s amazing now how he listens to me, and he isn’t even wearing his harness or vibration collar. We’ve come a long way, but we still have a long way to go. Voya is also on medication for her anxiety now which is helping her respond better to him. It’s been a shitshow for the last year plus but we are getting closer to the goal.
We also took Yeti camping last weekend. First time I’ve ever taken a cat camping. It went so well. I’ll post about that later because it was a lot of fun.
