Does anyone think this is a full Bengal? I paid $850 for him & I got a bunch of paperwork but none of it makes sense to me. She made the comment I can register him when he is neutered though I may have missed some. I bought him from CLAGGETTS CATTERY & they are registered I think but the whole TICA thing is a little confusing. My last bengal which may have only been 1/2 was VERY smart & VERY hyper!!! This kitten is so beyond mellow. It's super sweet & playful but I'm caught off guard at how snuggle & mellow it is. It will play some but non of the crazy zooming crazyness that my last cat did and he would talk like crazy while doing it. I love the new kitty but now I'm stressed its not full Bengal or something. All the paperwork is copies of generation info that makes no sense to me.

looks bengal to me
Lovely eyes ))

Ahhh beautiful and I would say yes full Bengal too

I do believe you have a purebred bengal. He's gorgeous! As for the TICA paperwork, it's not complicated! Obviously the breeder did not neuter the cat prior to leaving the cattery and it's common that they do not give you all the paperwork until they have proof the neutering has been done. Please have him neutered as soon as your vet will do it. Registering your kitty simply puts him the database as a purebred bengal. Raiden's previous owner never registered him, so I did after I took possession of Raiden when he was 6 years old (he just turned 8 yesterday). One of the more intriguing aspects was getting a 5-generation pedigree from TICA when I registered him (there is an additional fee for that, but it comes laminated). From there, I went to http://www.bengalpedigrees.com and was able to pull up a 15-generation pedigree which traced Raiden back to all the ALCs in his pedigree (after putting in some missing grandparents). If you have any questions about the generation paperwork, message me. I'll be happy to help you out since I find it all so interesting.

Know that all bengals are different. A mellow, cuddly, lap bengal is a good thing!!! You may want him bouncing off the walls, but he's still just a little thing and his personality isn't fully developed at this stage. Let him acclimate to his new home and all the new people and smells. It's different for every single cat. Comparing him to a previous cat is just something you can't do! Congratulations and enjoy your beautiful baby!

His eyes are beautiful.

I am sure his personality will develop as he gets older. It can take a while but even so I would LOVE a snuggly Bengal!
