With a wild-looking Bengal on one side and a gentle giant Maine Coon on the other, what&rsquo;s not to adore?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bengal Maine Coon mix cats are a mysterious bunch, that&rsquo;s for sure. Although Maine Coon cats are one of the most prominent and popular breeds out there and Bengal cats are becoming more and more sought-after by people obsessed with wild cats, the mixed breed&rsquo;s pretty new to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We know that Maine Coon cats are affectionate, appreciative, and mellow and that they&rsquo;re obsessed with hanging out with humans, following them around, and spending every moment of their waking hour with them. Bengal cats are fun, friendly, and physically active. So when you combine the two, you get absolute perfection!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mixed breeds are unpredictable considering that they&rsquo;re capable of inheriting traits from both breeds or growing up to resemble one parent more than the other. When you get your hands on a mixed-breed kitten, you don&rsquo;t know what you&rsquo;re getting. We&rsquo;d argue that&rsquo;s the fun part of owning a Bengal Coon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.
