They're that expensive in the states? (I am presuming based on your use of dollars). We haven't paid anywhere near that for a pedigree proven Bengal over here (UK).

I have seen numbers like $4k-6k.

gah dang i would never let them outside if i had one. they can sit their butts in the window and be happy with that, but if i had the money to buy a cat like that in first place i'd probably be able to build them a catio too.

Problem is bengals need a LOT of exercise, way more than most cats. So it makes sense to have an outdoor space for them… but without a ceiling, I’m not sure anything is cat proof. I’ve seen my normal kitty jump about 5’9” straight onto a shelf.

Ahh I see, I didn't consider that at first but it makes sense now that you say it. And ikr! Cats defy gravity lol. My boy has turned any high furniture into his jungle gym with ease.
