When planning on adopting a large cat, it can often be difficult to know which breed is best for a pet. Those breeding exotic cats Nebraska often recommend a Bengal or Leopard kitten. For, while these felines will grow into large exotic cats, most make good pets.

Bengals are often popular because of tiger like size and appearance. While this is the case, there are many other reasons people desire to own this breed though most often it is because of their tender loving nature. At the same time, it is important to note that these cats need a great deal of space to roam, run and play.

Unlike others, Bengals often love to lounge, play and swim in ponds or pools. If playing in freshwater lakes or pools, many have also been known to catch and play with fish.
