Hello folks. I’m trying to get your insight on a make Bengal name Max we just adopted. This is the first time we’ve adopted a Bengal cat, and although we did some research, he’s showing some behavior issues I hope you guys can help us with. Max will be seven (7) on 3 March and came from a breeder in the U.K., where he was born. Max is beautiful, and we’re excited to have him in our family. The one thing that I’m concerned with is that he climbs up as high as he possibly can to get away from us. I realize Bengals like to do that, but I feel bad for him; not us. The previous owner told us he’s definitely not a lapcat hence we expected for him to be a little ‘standoffich’ When we finally get him down, he constantly growles and makes all kinds of noise letting us know he’s not happy. We have outside dogs, but do have 2.5 pound Chorky indoors. Max certainly doesn’t like him! This is now his third full day in his new home/family hence I’m sure it takes time for him to get use to his new humans. In the interim and advise you can offer will be greatly appreciated. Lastly, I have his pedigree paperwork and was told he’s 9th generation. What does that mean to a non Bengal experiences person? I can’t tell by looking at his pedigree paperwork. Thank you for your time. JR
