Although the Bengal Cat can be a medium or large size cat and can weigh between 8-15 pounds or more and range in height anywhere from about 13-16 inches tall.

Of course, these are generalizations and any individual Bengal cat could be different.

The Bengal Cat does shed fur but they don't shed fur as much as other cats.

Bengal cats don't shed a lot.

Bengal cats shed a very small amount of fur.

However, the shedding may suddenly rise, which would be a pointer to something else.

The cost for a Bengal Kitten ranges from as low as $400.00 to as much as $10,000.00

The cost for the Bengal Kitten depends on the breeder you buy the Bengal Kitten from but expect to pay at least $400.00 for a Bengal Kitten although you might pay more.

Buying a Bengal Kitten from a true authentic Bengal Cat Breeder can cost you up to $10,000.00

A true authentic breeder is not gonna let a Bengal Kitten go cheap.

Just be aware of scams such as online scams for Bengal Kittens and if the price is below $400.00 for a true Bengal Kitten be aware that it could easily be a scam.

Never send any money to someone without seeing the Kitten first and I would only hand my money over to the breeder when I picked up the kitten.
