How to properly choose the best cattery for purchasing your Bengal?
Why did I decide to write about it? Every day in instagram direct we receive many questions about feeding, education, problems with the litter box, etc.
Initially, it was strange to me that people do not turn to the breeders where they bought their cat, since it would be logical that those who know the line, how they raised the kitten, what diet it followed and what particularities persisted in the cattery from the beginning, would be able to respond best. But unfortunately, breeders often do not want or do not know what to say and you are left alone to correct the breeders' mistakes, for example late sterilization, irreparable errors in the behavior or your pet's diet.
Life with a Bengal cat is an extraordinary symbiosis, an incredible experience of friendship and exchange of positive emotions. They are very intelligent and healthy animals. But it is very important that the kitten is properly educated and cared for from the very beginning.
The cattery where you buy a kitten will become your best friend, especially during the first year of life with your pet. Therefore, your communication should be based on mutual respect and, at the very least, you should be kind to each other.
The most important and vital criteria that cannot be overlooked when choosing a cattery:
The accommodation of the cats.
You should pay attention to the place where cats live in the cattery, and expecialy if they are being keept in cages.
Mating within the cattery.
.
Genetic testing.
.
Natural development.
How natural is the development of the kittens during litter box and scratching post training.
Feeding
A fondamental point that will conditionate your kitten's health.
Childhood
How much time does the breeder has to dedicate to the kitten during the growth.
— What kind of food does a breeder choose for his cats and what is the decision based on?
— This is one of the most important questions. The breeder's thinking must coincide with yours or be sufficiently well-founded and competent, not only because of your comfort, but also the health and longevity of your new family member depends on it.
— Before buying a Bengal it is important to be aware of what you are getting into.
— Bengal cats differ physiologically from other breeds, there are many differences and characteristics, which is why sterilization, feeding and maintenance are very different from those of other cats.
— Another fact is that Bengals have a very strong emotional bond with their family and if you do not plan or you are not sure that you can dedicate enough time to your pet, then you should give up this breed, buy two Bengal cats or a cat of another breed that is not less active and will be able to keep the Bengal the company he needs.
