Tips and Curiosities

Learn to better know this amazing cat

Hypoallergenic cat

There is a myth that the bengal cat is hypoallergenic, but is it really so? More or less. What causes allergy is a protein found in cat saliva, skin cells and urine called Fel D1. The bengal cat produces this protein in smaller quantities than other breeds. It also has a very short fur, so the Fel D1 has little room to accumulate (and the cat has less reason to lick). These characteristics are not enough to ensure that bengal is hypoallergenic, but surely we can consider it hypoallergenic: a cat for many but not for everyone. Before taking one at home it is always good to do some tests, if you are allergic: at Piccolo Leopardo you can stay with our kittens for a few hours so as to ascertain if you are buying a puppy compatible with your health.

The first months of life

In the first 90 days of life it is essential that puppies live with their mother and siblings. This is an important stage in their growth, in which they need breastfeeding, as well as playing with their brothers. After 30 days weaning can start, thus the body acquires strength and motor ability: at this stage the little bengals begin to experience jumping and climbing. Throughout these three months the owner must interact more and more intensely with the kittens, by playing with them, holding and cuddling them, in order to create a climate of mutual growing trust.

Where to keep bengal cats

The Bengal cat can adapt very easily located to indoor environments but is also comfortable in the garden: in this case it is important that the outdoor space be completely fenced and escape-proof. It will also be necessary to open a cat flap in the access door so that the bengal can enter and exit as it pleases. The same attention is required if you decide to keep the cat in outdoor spaces such as balconies and terraces: they must first be secured, to avoid escapes or falls.

Nutrition

There is no universal rule: at Piccolo Leopardo we feed them with high quality croquettes that guarantee a balanced diet. The advice, however, is to decide together with a nutritionist veterinarian.
