Bengal Cats: Why We Love These Mini Leopards

Owning a Bengal is like having your own mini leopard roaming your home — pretty cool, right?

Their stunning spotted coats and huge emerald eyes definitely set them apart as one of the prettiest felines out there. And as for their personality, well, they’re exceptionally unique. This gorgeous breed of kitty isn’t just pretty to look at, but also a joy to be around. They are extra chatty, endlessly playful, super affectionate, and notably smart.

As spectacular as Bengals are, they do come with some breed-specific health issues, as any other pedigree feline does — that’s why Bengal cat insurance is so important.
Got a Bengal fur baby? Keep an eye out for these common problems:

  • Heart disease
  • Eye issues
  • Joint complications
  • Gastrointestinal conditions
  • Lymphoma

    Frequently Asked Questions
    What Level of Cover Shall I Choose for My Bengal Kitten?

    That depends on what your little kitty needs. If you've got a generally healthy Bengal kitten, cover them with our Accidental Plan. If you want peace of mind knowing your feline baby is covered for accidental injuries and breed-specific illnesses, our Classic Plan is the full package. Or, if you want to play it extra safe and get the most coverage, pick our Deluxe Plan.

    Are Bengals Healthy Cat Breeds?

    Bengals are a pretty healthy breed. But, like any pedigree cat, they do have some genetic health risks, like heart disease, joint problems, and eye complications. Getting your feline friend tested by the vet will help you see whether they're likely to develop any of these problems, so you can prepare for whatever gets thrown your kitties' way.

    What Levels of Cover Can Bengal Cats Get?

    Pick from three breed-specific coverage options: Accidental, Classic, and Deluxe.
    If it's basic and cheap coverage you're after, our Accidental Plan is purrfect. Want the best of both worlds while still keeping things affordable? Our Classic Plan balances accidental injury cover with breed-specific illness cover.

    If you want the maximum amount of cover, our Deluxe Plan is the full package you're after.

    Are Bengals High Maintenance Cats?

    They're super smart and energetic, so you definitely need to spend time playing and mentally stimulating them every day. If you don't give your Bengal the attention it needs, you'll end up with a naughty and sad kitty, so it's best to make time for them. If you lead a busy life, a Bengal might not be the best feline for you.

    Other than playtime and attention, they just need a balanced diet, occasional grooming, lots of cuddles, and routine vet care.

    What's the Waiting Period for Bengal Cat Insurance?

    Good news: you get instant coverage with our Accidental policies. As for our Classic and Deluxe Plans, expect to wait around 21 and 180 days before your coverage kicks in. We'll ditch our waiting periods if you can show us you've had uninterrupted coverage with another provider for a year or longer.
