I’d highly recommend Bengals - they’re smart, fun and beautiful.

Mine is mostly bengal but she is none of the above. She's not affectionate but will lie on your lap. She doesn't like to be held or carried does like to be around me. I can let her out all day on the back deck and she will not wander off. She wandered off one time last summer but I found her in front of my next door neighbor's house and scolded her all the way home. She never left the deck again.

However, she knows that I allow her to stalk any birds at the feeder which is about 25 feet off the back deck but once she makes a move on the birds, they're gone and she dashes back onto the deck.

She can't meow but rather kinda squeeks so I named her squeek. She's not playful in any way but occasionally plays with her squeeky mouse when I'm not present. For whatever reason, she is constantly putting it in her water bowl then the thing squeeks nonstop till it dries out.

She's not mischevous or destructive in any way. She is allowed on furniture but very seldom gets up on them.

She is just a good all around cat....

“For whatever reason, she is constantly putting it in her water bowl then the thing squeeks nonstop till it dries out.”

Both our cats do that! It drives me nuts. We have their food in the kitchen and it’s a hardwood floor. I’ll pass on redoing the floor. Debbie likes to “paddle” in the water. Thomas our orange tabby likes to drop toys in it. When Debbie “talks” to me which she does allot I call it “squeak talk”. We love them!
