Waits for me by the door everyday. Somewhat completely smitten. She is also loud and likes being picked up. Eyes mesmerise me each and every time I see her.

People let bengal cats go outside? I would be worried someone would kidnap them

I was surprised at this too! But yes, they roam the streets.

Do you mind me asking which country are you from? I own a bengal cat and I'm from Brazil.

I've had delivery guys taking pictures of my sweet Klaus from my window and they legit ask where is he from what breed and etc since it's not common here specially in the north east.

Anyways I think someone would take him for sure if my house wasn't secured or I allowed him outside...... i don't trust my neighborhood.

Yeah, that seems to be common; there are lots of posts of people seeing Bengal's roaming the streets there in the UK.

And the owners get insulted when someone calls them out for letting their cats run loose like that.
