Two Bengals who were too smart for their toys

How a student entrepreneur from Lichtervelde started a cat brand, because Cayenne and Meylisse figured everything out too quickly.

Petvorra didn't start with market research, but with two Bengal cats — Cayenne and Meylisse — who were bored out of their minds. If you've ever had a Bengal at home, you know what I mean: they're cats with almost hands instead of paws, a memory that outlasts yours, and a fascination with water that no other cat seems to have.

The test team

Our two Bengals, Cayenne and Meylisse, do the product testing. Storm, our Border Collie, joins in from time to time — though officially he's not part of the target audience.
