I have always only wanted pets, so neutering for me has always been done at a young age, Have you ask your Vet about the chances of him stopping?? I am on my second Bengal kitten , I purchased one last march ,and he came had a stroke last month and was paralized at 10 months old , therfore he had to be put down.I cried my eyes out for two days, and we still miss him, but the breeder replaced him with another baby the week after it happpened . This one is truly spectacular . I went out for 5 hours today, and he used the box twice (I think he might have finally caught on) anyway he sits on my shoulder the hole time Iwill allow it ,vacumning , laundry , dishes, very cool cat, I hope we have better luck with this one, the breeder said she has never before lost a bengal to this, and it was just a fluck .here's hoping, anyway I wish you all the luck with your young man, and hope he becomes as big a part of your life , as my baby Gamba is in mine
