Thanks for all the hellos, I am so happy to have stumbled across an extremely active message board as this one.
I think Im going to be on here alot!

Welcome to PT! Funny how we ran across one another here.... we've "known of" one another many years on another, non-pet related, forum. Congratulations on your new sweet kitty and for finding PT. As you can see, I post here way more than the other forum.

WELCOME! Mowgli is a charmer . I have a bengal mix myself (Remus, in my signature) and he is the most social cat out of my herd. My newest kitty, Hoodini is about 10-12 weeks and he is just now starting to be social. Playing with him definately did help, and letting him set his own boundries helped too. I tried not to expose him to a lot of people at first, and now Im letting him choose who he wants to visit with. Some days he comes out of hiding, some days not lol.

Welcome to PT! I have two babies Jack & Sunny who were from a Cat's Protection shelter here in South Wales. You can check out their website here if you haven't heard of them, they're THE cat charity in the United Kingdom
www.cats.org.uk

You can see a picture of Jack (naughty mummy's boy!) and Sunny (naughty daddy's girl!) below

Mowgli is beautiful and very handsome, I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with him growing up!
Socialising wise I think it's best to introduce him to one new person at a time, so he can get used to smells and different situations. Bengals are supposed to be Extremely sociable animals so he will probably be a doll in the future! Let him do things at his own pace, as of course you can't force a cat to do anything it doesn't want. (and tha'ts why we all love them!)
Just take it slowly but surely and I'm sure he'll grow up very confident.
Interaction with him yourself with playing etc is paramount for his development I think.

A very hearty WELCOME to you and your gorgeous Bengal kitty Mowgli.

Like others said, interacting with him should help with his shyness. In regards to meeting other people, I would just have 1 or 2 people come over at a time every other day. Gosh he is just too darn cute. I love Bengals and I am looking forward to seeing more pictures of him growing up.
