Hello,

As some of you know I already have two 9 month old Bengals both males and they are brothers.

I'd really love to get a Silver Spotted Bengal in the New Year but I have some concerns. First off will my two boys be upset by it? Is three a bad number of Bengals to have as I am worried one of them might get left out. Should it be another male or would a female be ok? Would it be better to get a Kitten or the other option would be to adopt a retired Bengal.

Are there any Silver Spotted Breeders on here?

Any advice greatly appreciated as I don't want to make any mistakes with my boys future by introducing a third Bengal.

Thanks, Gemma

hiya hun,

i think it's down to the personality of your cats, as with any new introductions, take it slowly & they are usually fine. more bengals usually equals more fun & more trouble lol

i have three girls who live together happily in one area.

Hi Gemma,

I think now that the Silver spotted is recognised you will see more of them, If your not in a rush i'd just take your time & browse the net, theres a couple of shows in March in bracknell i think that I'll be going to, That way you could ask about who's got what & see some showing..

Just a thought mind ...

I had three cats for awhile, and four. Three cats were a lotta work. I am very content with two and don't want the extra work of a fourth. Besides my bengal likes me more than other cats.

I have three 7 month old Bengals (pets, not show quality) and don't have any problems. They're lively and I need eyes in the back of my head but I don't think three are really any harder to cope with than two. They were all from the same litter though so there were no issues about integrating them which made things a lot easier.

Hello there!
I just got my third bengal here, more than a year younger than the other two (she's 3 months old and the others 19 and 16 months). I was a bit anxious about how she would fit in, but it's been a week now, and everything is fantastic!! There was hissing and growling when they first met, but now they play and eat and almost sleep together. I think we'll pass this last step over the week-end! I still don't let her alone with the 2 others when I'm not there, she's still too small and I don't want to take any chance until she had explored every corners and knows her limits. But so far it's been a very positive experience!!!

I don't know about males and females mix, cause I have only females . But as bundles said, it depends a lot on the cat's personality!

Hope it helps a little!
Bye,
Sysh
