Hello Everyone!
As of yesterday, I have a lovely 4 year old rescue Bengal called Kid.
He was found abandoned (or lost) and starving in a friend's neighbourhood. He has had evidence of less than ideal previous owners at some point (he was fixed as an adult Tomcat, he cowers when one says 'no' etc.), but is a good boy.

One thing though - he has sensitive digestion (he tends to throw up a lot) and seems to have acquired a urinary tract infection (he is taking a course of antibiotics)...

Health history: He has been to the Vet's 3-4 times to get checked for parasites & checked for diseases, to get his boosters up to date etc.

Any advice about what is the ideal nutrition balance for a Bengal?
I am currently feeding him NOW adult food (high protein, no corn products), with human grade tune/sardines in morning and evening.
Do Bengals do better on a high-quality food with slightly lower protein (with non-protein being good veg fibres, no corn filler)? Or do they prefer the highest protein possible?

Under the care of his rescuers, he has blossomed. His weights and strength has returned (he was skin and bones before), and his coat re-emerged.

Let me know if any of you have pearls of wisdom for my new life-companion.

Thank you!

There's a really good, and pretty concise book on this topic that I like:

http://www.amazon.com/What-Cats-Should- ... should+eat
It's a pretty quick, and easy read.

She also has written some of this up on her website:

Fish isn't really the best thing as a staple for a cat's diet. I think at the very least you should try to also feed some sort of fowl (chicken, duck, turkey), and try to make the fowl the bigger part of his diet if you can.

Thank you for this!
I am going to get that book and monitor his consumption of fish!

Very cool, I hope you find the book useful. As far as your specific question, I feed mine a pretty high protein diet, with most of the protein coming from meat. But it isn't a one-size-fits all sort of thing. I think you may find that once you get an understanding of what sorts of criteria you want to use when you look at various foods, you have to take into account what works for you cat (ie his sensitive stomach) and also something that he really really likes and has enthusiasm for, as it really doesn't work to try to feed your Bengal something he hates or barely tolerates.
