Bengal

Extremely active and climbing-inclined; vertical space and enrichment matter. Make room for energetic play and places to climb or explore each day. The smooth coat asks for less routine grooming, though it still deserves regular checks. The published 8–15 lb adult range is a starting point; your pet's measured weight is what matters for choosing food and gear.
