Sweeping generalisation. We have one, I got him for my wife because she's quite allergic to cats but loves them, I did my research and it's the case that Bengals are less allergenic than most other cats, a Devon Rex just wouldn't fit in on our street.
He's 9 now and although he did once to enjoy climbing about through the holes in the cardboard boxes I used to spend hours taping together to entertain him he now just prefers chewing the cardboard and spitting it out all over the floor.
He does still have a low boredom threshold but we let him out when he wants, in fact he was out all night last night.
Bearing in mind Bengals are really vociferous, to the point of becoming quite annoying sometimes, I wouldn't be surprised if this cruel bastard has done stuff like this before. Hope he gets his comeuppance.
