At BFF Bengals, we believe every kitten deserves a home that’s the perfect match for their personality. That’s why temperament testing is at the heart of our program. Not all kittens have the same energy level, confidence, or social style — and we want families to find the companion that truly fits their lifestyle.
We begin structured temperament testing when kittens are around 7–8 weeks old, once their personalities begin to shine. Each kitten is evaluated through:
Confidence & Curiosity – How quickly they approach new toys, sounds, or people.
Sociability – Their comfort with being handled, held, and cuddled.
Play Drive – Levels of activity and engagement with toys.
Adaptability – Reactions to gentle changes in environment, such as new surfaces or mild noises.
Problem Solving – How they interact with puzzle toys or enrichment activities.
These assessments give us a clear picture of each kitten’s natural tendencies.
With the results, we work closely with families to help them choose the right kitten. For example:
Active families may do best with a confident, high-energy Bengal.
Quiet households may prefer a calmer, more easygoing kitten.
Homes with children or other pets benefit from highly social, adaptable kittens.
By carefully matching personalities, we ensure a smoother transition for both kittens and their new families.
Temperament testing isn’t just about observing — it’s also part of early training. From the beginning, our kittens experience:
Daily handling and gentle exposure to people.
Positive interactions with sounds, textures, and environments.
Early litter training and introduction to scratching posts.
Age-appropriate play sessions to build confidence.
This foundation helps Bengals grow into well-adjusted companions who are ready to thrive in their forever homes.
Many breeders focus only on looks. At BFF Bengals, we put equal emphasis on temperament, health, and structure. By combining temperament testing with our careful selection of breeding cats, we ensure each Bengal not only looks stunning but also brings joy, companionship, and balance into your life.
