were do you get normal kittens from no actual breed pet shops dont really do them anymore, re homing places want to come and inspect your home and you have to fill out 3 forms before you even get to choose a kitten
seems very hard work to me
Bengals are ace - do not get one if you want a lap cat - however our boy does sit on us every night. I trust him completely around our baby but you must "train" bengals from a early age if you want the to be good (pack training, showing him that he has hurt you etc).
They are very intelligent and very energetic - you must give them plenty of opportunity for excesive so they are not suited to be inside all the time unless you have a prupose built gym/enclosure. I have had a lot of cats and would recommend a bengal.
They are fussy with food and fresh water and are very vocal.
