My landlord brought a Bengal kitten (Snoop-cat) a couple months ago. She's very pretty....but she's mental and causes a lot of damage.
She thinks people are climbing frames, but if you tell her off she takes no notice and just thinks its a game. Its like having a toddler!
Will she calm down a little after he gets her sterilised? She's also started chewing on cables.... already broke 3 pairs of my head phones... but if she were to chew an electric cable she's going to get shocked >< I brought her a couple toys, but she doesn't play with them. She only wants things she can't have.... ah.... and playing in the bath.... strange cat.
Any ideas to calm her down? At least at night time? She sleeps while im working so she's always hyper during the evening/night.

Seem normal to me apart from damaging cables and furniture. Don't know about calming down after sterilisation! My tigger is still the same after being neutered crazy in the evenings running around but never damage anything in the house(touch wood). Even toilet rolls now he does'nt care about.
Yep they love the bathroom and fridge.
Good luck and keep saying NO to her when she BAD. LOl

A bengal will always be a toddler! They never grow up. Bengals are a totally different breed. They have high energy and that energy has to go somewhere. Bengals need tall cat trees, lots of play time. They are always on the go! Chewing cables is not a good thing, so you need to make sure they are out of the way. Kittens do like to chew (just like babies) so investing in some chew toys can be a good thing. Know that bengals always want what they can't have. They want to lay where they aren't supposed to lay. I'm guessing your landlord did not research the breed very well because this is quite typical of the bengal kitten. Spaying should not make any type of change in behavior. You are going to have to kitten proof the rooms -- just like you would for a toddler. Put things away and out of sight that she should not have access to! Know that bengals are very social cats. They want to be with humans and they will not find a corner and sleep 20 hours a day. A regular cat will do that, but not your bengal.

And don't just think that if the cat gets electrocuted, things will change. The cat could die! There are things you can purchase that go over the cables to make sure the kitty can't get to them.

All the things you describe are 100% normal for a bengal. They don't calm down after being "fixed", in fact, when you first bring them home from their operation they are often even wilder (because of some interaction with the anesthesia) believe it or not.

Bengals do calm down quite a bit when they get older though, but you are years away from that

As far as cables go, I "cured" my cats of desiring to bite cables by coating the cables with bitter yuck.

Scolding a cat is not going to get them to stop playing inappropriately. You need to acknowledge that he has a great need to play, and help him fulfill that need in ways that are appropriate to both of you, and highly desirable to him.

My kittens did all of the things you mention and worse. One was obsessed with chewing cables. Now she chews wood furniture. They would jump in the bath tub every time I went into it like it was a game. The only thing that will calm them down is maturity. It creeps up ever so slowly and goes out the window when they don't get what they want. Just appreciate them for the beautiful animals they are and don't give them access to things you don't want broken, ripped or chewed.

Sounds like a bengal kitten :-)

For the cables, google "grannicks bitter apple spray" - you'll get a big bottle and use a small amount of it - your kitten will soon learn how it smells and not try to bite the cables
