Dont buy fuck all for it is what I learnt. Cat beds, cat houses, scratching posts... all a waste of time and money. Just get it a litter tray and a lazer pen.

It'll play with you for the first few months then it will fuck off and never be happy again (Unless you're feeding it).

Think of it as a stepping stone to a dog, once your missus has a cat you can get a dog
 
We have a bengal, never shuts up, bossy, lovely lad though. \\

As above, foil on a string will suffice, get some empty cardboard boxes, tape them together and cut holes for it to explore, it will probably chew the cardboard but that's better than scratching your wallpaper and carpet.
 
Get YouTube on your tv. You can play a video where mice run across the tv, funniest thing you’ll see for a while.
Although my cat broke my tv doing it, so proceed with caution

Oh you lucky thing , love a bengal cat , should have adopted though

Leave it alone to explore , show it where the tray and food is , not together , then let it explore and come to you

Totally agree. Before lockdown we got a 10 year old cat with only two teeth left from a rescue home. He was as nervous as anything and found a hiding place under the stairs - it took 2 weeks for him to be able to sit with us in the lounge but now he rules the bloody house!
 
Used to have a Bengal, it died a couple of years ago aged 12. Great cat, very playful, bit of a talker but not too bad. Bengals have more of a pelt, as opposed to regular fur, so they hardly shed at all.
 
Try not to feed him cheap shite food either. It might take a while to find a well made food that he likes but you'll see and feel the difference when you do.



If he's not going outside either, or you don't have a garden, then growing some cat grass in a pot might benefit him too, help with digestion etc.
We have a back yard so I grow pots of grass that our cat grazes on inside the house.

 
Litter tray from day one - don’t get a cheap one or you’ll find it sticks to itself and makes emptying the tray a nightmare (the Mrs moans about this).

Start it on dry food and only introduce wet after a significant period of time.

Don’t let it out of the house either until it’s an adult.

Enjoy, cats are great.
 
The lunatic wife has somehow persuaded me to buy a Bengal cat. It arrives tommorow.

I really don’t have a clue what to do with it.

can any cat lovers give me any advice as to how to make it feel at home?
A guy I used to work with had 7 Bengal cats. He built a massive covered run in his garden for the cats to run round in. Apparently they are VERY territorial and like to piss everywhere.

He was a bit of an odd fellow in all honesty. He was late for work one morning because one of his cats has pissed in his toaster, and when he switched it on it filled his kitchen with acrid white smoke, so he took the toaster out into the garden, plugged it into an extension lead, burnt off all the piss, gave it a quick wipe down, then used it to make his breakfast.

He'd sometimes come into work with cat shit on his shoes, but he could never smell it. Sadly, everyone else could.

We adopted this little fella in January of this year. He is such a lovely cat. He was found abandoned in a back garden after the residents had moved out. The previous owner must have been in a bad position to have to abandon such a nice cat. :-(

Was he a Toronto carpenter ?
