Hello, hoping I can get some advice here! I've had cats as a child but have now moved in with my partner and we are going to get a cat/cats. We will get them from a rescue centre. We both work, though I have some time at home in school holidays. We own a house and have a garden, no children.
We originally thought about getting one domestic moggy, probably a kitten/juvenile, in the summer as I will be at home. I wanted to adopt a black cat as I think they are rehomed far less than other colours. But we've seen a pair of Bengal cats who are older, but adorable. They would need to be taken as a pair. I am rather in love with them but we know we need to think carefully about whether we are the best home for them.
Does anyone have any experience of Bengals as opposed to normal cats? What sort of financial commitment should we expect, and does our situation sound ok for them? Does having two cats mean a different relationship with the owner, or is it ideal because they'll have company when we're at work? Is it more complicated than having one?
Thanks in advance for all advice, happy to answer questions.
