 ALL BENGAL OWNERS MUST HAVE! INFO BREEDER'S LEAVE OUT! Apr 16, 1999
By rsracing@earthlink.net
There are not many books out on the Bengal Breed, but this one is the best! It gave us much insight on the Bengal's nature. We have other domestic cats and the Bengal was just different, the book explained the why's and how's. Our Bengal had something wrong with her legs when she was about 7 months old. We went straight to the book and it even explained the disorder that could possibly affect a Bengal. We were lucky that information was there, our breeder said they had never heard of it. A vet surgeon performed an operation on both back legs and she is perfect now. Without the detail this book gives we never would have known. We value the information highly that is contained in this book. A lot of breeders leave the less desirable things out when you purchase a Bengal. This book gives you the full story.

Great book about a great breed of cats! Oct 16, 1998
Fun book to read about a breed of cats that has a wonderful personality, amazing energy, and a beautiful coat! This book gives detailed information about Bengal behavior and disposition (even friendlier than other breeds of house cat). Gives general information on how to care for cats. After reading this book, we bought two Bengals. We believe our Bengals are human! This is a MUST-READ for potential and current cat owners in order to understand the uniqueness of these cute felines.

 Although not comprehensive for breeders, still satisfying. Jun 18, 1998
By Lars Hindsley (lars@defiant.net)
As a Bengal Breeder I found this book informative about some background on the Bengal. Many photos and illustrations. I recommend it for people newly exposed to the Bengal cat. The book unknowingly operates as a good guide on how to select a Bengal cat and how to be a good owner of any cat. Don't expect more from this book however. Many Bengal breeder web sites drill into detail about the Bengal's nature, traits and colors where this book leaves off. There is also a section on breeding and birthing Bengal cats. It's rather universal so anyone considering breeding of any cat may benefit from chapter 10.

 Handy Reference for the Incredibly Obvious Nov 03, 2003
By Matthias Weiss
This book is not worth having. Apart from trivia facts it does not contain any useful information on the Bengal breed, inasfar as their physiology, behavior, or health is concerned. We've had some diarrhea trouble with our Bengal kitten (F4), and we collected all useful and pertinent information through time-consuming research on the internet. What the book does really well is spell out the incredibly obvious. Did you, for example, know that kittens can be hurt if they fall from high places or get run over by cars? In case these concepts are too involved for you, both scenarios are vividly illustrated with pencil drawings ("Scared kitten on high shelf", "Scared kitten under car tire") The few facts that are specific to Bengals (interest in water) we learned from casual pre-purchase conversations with the breeder. Due to its format, unfortunately, this cannot even serve as coffee-table book. I meant to give page references for the above mentioned drawings, but the book has already disappeared into oblivion. I could not locate it.

Bengal Sep 21, 2004
By Vali

I enjoyed the book but was a little disappointed as I expected it to be much more detailed. I thought it was more of a beginners book to cats. A great book if you have never had a cat or done any research on bengal cats.
