Bengal cats are known for their lively personalities and require lots of stimulation and playtime. While their active nature often translates to less interest in cuddling, every cat is unique. As he becomes more comfortable and ages, he might develop a fondness for quieter moments with you. Creating a routine with scheduled playtimes and rewarding calm behaviors with treats and affection can encourage his more tranquil side to come through. Remember that patience and understanding will go a long way in developing a stronger bond with your Bengal.
