Hi There,

Depending on the breeding, some Bengals can be aggressive. I personally would not have one in my multi-cat household.

Your situation is serious enough to consider putting the Bengal on medication. Please ask your vet about prescribing something like clomipramine, or another antidepression/antianxiety drug.

I always tell people that the more cats you have in a home, the more potential problems you will have. Even though the Bengal seems to like the kitten, adding a new cat will almost always affect the resident cats. Perhaps he feels threatened and he may be likely to take it out on the other adult.

Anyway, I would tend to keep the Bengal and place the kitten. Unless Bengal Rescue is willing to step in, it is going to be extremely difficult to place an adult with behavioral issues. If you do place him, I recommend that he is the only cat in the home.

Regards,
PHKitkat
