*sees the name Enid*
I’d add the name KO or Kaio to the list of male names!
What about the name ‘Maisy?’
I had a Bengal named DOTTY
Not too original, but it’s not on here =^..^=
We have a female Bengal, named her Zöe. Looking at getting a male and naming him Zeus
What’s the temperament like with the breed
Very good. If you go to a ethical breeder, you will have no problem
My Bengal girl is Diana. Named after the huntress of Greek mythology.
My Silver is Willow And My Male -Normal- Is Sparky!
My silver spotted Bengal girl’s name is Diana.
My girl Bengal is called India which suits her well : )
My Bengal Kitten’s name is Apple. You should add that to this list.
We have had the pleasure of living with several Bengals over the years and we have named them all after castles in Scotland: Stirling, Brodie, Montrose, Stalker, Scalloway (Scally or my Scalpal), Keltie, and Gylan. The last three are alive and well, and living in Ontario.
Ragnor Lodbrok, Viking king of history channel historic fiction and historic real-life. Strikingly handsome, loyal to family, fierce fighter when necessary, not unwilling to kill for his friends and family. Now in the fonder moments of (family retirement and covid isolation) interaction he is frequently referred to as “Raggy”. Active and fun. We find providing a new tool or game every 10-14 days satisfies his innate curiosity. It need not be expensive IE paper towel roll, sleeping bag to tunnel and dig(home made from scraps), Abacus (left from grown kids he LOVES it), and any size box. A new box is never-ending delight. At 8 months the biting and scratching is fairly under control, but it took much diligence on our part. Redirecting and scolding every single time. We are totally in love with Ragnar, our covid entertainment.
I named my bengal Silver but she got really sick so I had to let her go. Very sad and hardest thing I have ever had to do but I’m getting an Egyptian mau and bengal crossed next week super excited also getting a calico cat.
