While letting your cats outside on their own is not a great idea, taking them outside for little supervised adventures is awesome. Some breeds are more adventurous than others: if you have a thrill-seeker, outside trips are pretty much a must.

One woman has a Bengal-Maine Coon mix. That's an adventure cat if I've ever seen one! He loves going outside, and he even chirps back at the birds. It's really a sight to behold, plus he's so handsome in the sunshine:

Neville the Bengal-Maine Coon is a very long, very happy boy. He's the product of two of the highest-maintenance, most exciting cat breeds the world has to offer, and you can tell. There's never a dull moment with him, if only because he's so handsome it's hard to take your eyes off of him.

Neville's favorite thing to do when he's outside is chirp at all of the birds, and he's doing a great job. He sounds just like them! Some cats' chirps are a little too deep, but Neville's chirps are perfectly on-key with the real birds. They probably think he's one of them!

Neville loves chirping at the birds, but realistically, he wouldn't hurt a fly. He's 7 months old and has always had all of his food provided for him, so he's never had to learn how to hunt. Plus, he's a very sweet boy. He's a friend, not a fighter! Unless you're the TV, then he wants to beat you up:

He's hilarious. I don't understand how he got there. He's perfectly draped over the TV! Did he jump there? It just goes to show how nimble these cats can be!

Are Maine Coon-Bengals Hard to Handle?

Neville is a good boy, and he's relatively easy to please. Bring him outside, let him chirp at birds, and he's happy as a clam. However, this breed is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Both Bengals and Maine Coons are considered breeds that aren't beginner-friendly. They need a lot of attention, entertainment, and food to live: these cats grow up to be very large. They're costly to care for, can be tough to train, and often require a little creativity. These cats are also:

  • Intelligent.
  • Playful.
  • Kind and affectionate.

If you think you can take one of these cats on, you won't regret it. When they have what they need to succeed, they're some of the best cats ever!
