I signed a contract when I purchased my second bengal, which stated the cat is to be kept strictly indoors at all times, unless walked on a harness or has access to an outdoor enclosure. They were very specific on that and if this happened to me and they found out, I can image they would be quite upset/angry with me. Unless it was an accident, of course. I do believe in keeping my cats (bengals especially) inside. They are very unique looking and do get stolen. Plus, they are amazing hunters and will kill a lot of wildlife. It is up to you what you do and believe, I am not going to tell you off for letting your cat out if that is what you want to do as it’s your personal choice. All I’m saying, is that most reputable Bengal breeders will make you sign a contract outlining the cat is to be indoors only. If you go against that, and they find out, yes you will receive criticism. There isn’t much you can do about it. Either ignore it, or speak with the breeder directly about your views on the matter.
