The Bengal Cat is a gentle, domesticated animal that makes a fine house pet. Heavily illustrated with vivid color photos and instructive line art, Barron's Complete Pet Owner's Manuals show and inform pet owners regarding proper care of dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, small caged animals--virtually every creature that is kept as a pet. The books give advice on purchasing and otherwise acquiring a pet, feeding it nutritiously, keeping it in good health, and where applicable, grooming and training it. Each book in this large series is individually written by a specialist, and though the information is authoritative, the text is clear and straightforward, easy for every pet owner to understand.

Purchased this when we rescued a bengal cat named Cosmo in 2009. It is now 2023 and he won't be with us much longer but this book helped us understand what to expect from this intelligent, energetic breed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful book for a beautiful cat
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2014
Verified Purchase
One of my adult children adopted a Bengal - and although he knew the cat was especially intelligent, just by observing it and also a fireball of energy, there was much history and information that he was unaware of (and he's a long time cat owner, rescuer, and unofficial cat adoption agency with his fiancee, finding homes for strays; getting them medical help and neutering; caring for ferals.)

I was charmed by this cat as well, so when I needed a small gift for my son for a special occasion, I thought this book was the best choice among the many available and was reasonably priced. My son was SO pleased and happy with it. The pictures are great; info is to the point; and it's artfully written for those who usually get their info from the internet and not actual books. My son is hard to buy for but I received so many thank-yous for this book - which I then read myself. It really is that good!

The cover looked really nice but still had previous library bar codes and some pages a little wrinkly. Overall I’m very happy with the book and second hand price I paid.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only a great book but a great new breed of Cat.
Reviewed in the United States on May 30, 2014
Verified Purchase
I didn't know what to expect when I decided to become a caregiver to a breed of domestic short hair cats, just 5 generations from the wild, but I knew I wanted to have the experience. Also the vets still haven't had a Bengal come through their practice so I wanted as much information to share with them as possible..

This book gave me an overview of how new breeds are "created" and answered all of the questions about care-giving, etc. There are many colorful pictures of The Bengal feline, even a picture of what their original male ancestor, an Asian tree leopard, looks like.

For a small book it give you all the basic information you need. And it's terrific to hand to a visiting friend who is looking at your Bengal and you can let them leaf through this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty Dern Informative!!!
Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2011
Verified Purchase
This book is very informative and that really surprised me. Most books of this type are not very in-depth and leave a lot of important areas like nutrition, infectious diseases, etc. out or do not cover them well. The author of this book was actually very thorough and explained things honestly which let me know that I do not want to buy one of these cats. They are good animals, but I am pretty sure I don't have the patience to own one. The cost of the book was well worth it when you consider one of these cats costs between $1200 and $6000. This book earned its five star rating as far as I am concerned

I've been researching this breed of cat for about a year now, and wanted to get more information. this seems a bit generic, but still informative. What I wanted to know wasn't in the book. There wasn't enough to call it a complete guide. Overall worth the cash.

My family and I are purchasing a Bengal Cat in May. Before we made this decision we wanted to read as much as we could about caring for one of these special cats to make sure that it was a good fit for our family. This book gave many interesting details about Bengal Cat care.
We can't wait to make one an addition to our family!
If you are thinking of finding a Bengal Cat of your own, do as much reading as you can, books, forums etc..
Also contact breeders in your area, I am from Oregon and have found the breeders here to be incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.
Happy kitty hunting!

Manuale semplice con belle foto e buoni consigli, non molto diversi da quelli che si trovano un po' dappertutto sul web.
E' comunque sempre piacevole avere un libretto cartaceo sulla razza a cui appartiene il proprio gatto. :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars Gutes, wichtiges Buch für "Bengal-Anfänger"
Reviewed in Germany on February 22, 2014

Nachdem wir 2009 unsere kleine, wilde Leni-Welpe aus dem Tierheim geholt hatten (damals war sie grau, kurze Zeit später auf einmal braun...) und ich nur staunte, was diese Katze alles macht (ich war mit einer EKH aufgewachsen und dachte, ich kenne Katzen...), klärte uns der Tierarzt auf, was wir da tatsächlich haben: Zumindest einen Bengal-Mix (weil im Tierheim ja eher unwahrscheinlich)! Aber auch gut möglich, dass rein Bengal...

Oh mann!!! ((8-o

Was nun??? Wo informieren über diese doch sehr spezielle Katze? 2009 gab es noch kein deutschsprachiges Buch über diese Rasse, hier auf Amazon nur dieses, also her damit... und wir fanden unsere Leni darin wieder. Vor Allem dieses extreme Kommunikationsbedürfnis... mit dieser Katze kann man regelrecht diskutieren. Diese Katze gibt Töne von sich, die ich noch nie bei einer Katze gehört habe und ist eigentlich andauernd am Quasseln. Diese Katze schaut Einem so intensiv und lange in die Augen, wie ich es noch bei keinem Tier überhaupt erlebt habe, kommuniziert auch mit Blicken, Blinzeln und Gähnen - und reagiert auch darauf, wenn der Mensch blinzelt, gähnt oder ähnliche Töne von sich gibt wie sie. Sie antwortet! Sie kennt Wörter und reagiert darauf ("Was? Zeig Mama!" Und dann geht sie voraus und zeigt was sie möchte, z. B. auf den Balkon oder geht zum Leckerchenschrank..,. da sie Türen & Schubladen öffnet, mussten wir alles einschließen).

Dieses Buch ist klasse. Wer sich überlegt, sein Leben mit einer Bengalkatze teilen zu wollen (anders kann ich das nicht ausdrücken...) und des Englischen mächtig ist, der sollte sich dieses Buch zulegen.

The book gave me practical advice and answered all my questions. I purchased the book after discovering i had 2 bengals which had come as a surprise as I acquired them thinking i had 2 tabby cats. The book soon educated me and I soon learnt how to understand my 2 cats, all three of us now very happy.
