So our male bengal Leo is super nice. We juat got him January 1st. He is 2 years old and super nice. However that being said, during the day its great no problems for the most part. At night totally different story. He keeps us up all night and he has a tendency of spraying at night. Its to the point where we have to put him in a separate room and close the door because he is keeping our 5 kids up. I keave him his litter, food, water anf his bed. I feel horrible having to do it but I can't figure out any out way. Any suggestions and ides as to why he does this?

Well, Cleo84, we've already told you your unneutered male cat is going to spray, so I'm not sure why this is a surprise to you. I've explained in previous posts to you that you are not going to stop this behavior --even neutering him at some point is not going to stop this. This is instinctive behavior once they become sexually mature and even my bengal, who was neutered at 12 weeks, sprays. Have you purchased Feliway diffusers and/or spray? That is supposed to help.

You also have five children and are trying to deal with breeding a male and female bengal. I can only imagine the noise that goes on in your household that can add to the stress of a cat. Mine prefers everything quiet. When things get loud, he hides under our bed and will not come out until things calm down.

Growing up, we had unneutered tom cats and they liked to be up all night as well. My bengal sleeps through the night (thankfully). You are pretty new to the bengal world -- and you've got to understand that bengals are not like your ordinary cat. And you have two bengals who have not been fixed!

I don't know how these issues are going to be resolved -- and adding a litter of kittens will complicate things even more. I still recommend you get your two bengals fixed and not try to go into the breeding business, especially if these are not registered, purebred bengals.
