Do you mean Bengal?
Bengals are a fairly new bread that was started about 30 years ago by breeding American Domestic Shorthairs with Asian wild leopard cats. They are not considered to be fully domesticated until the F7 to F9 generation (7-9 breedings of Bengal to Bengal since the original breeding to the ALC). I have an 11 year old Bengal that we got when she was about 1 1/2. They can be a bit challenging. You may also have a Bengal that is less than F9. Where did you get this kitten? Do you have papers on his lineage? Unfortunately, some less than reputable breeders will sell Bengals that are less than F9, or even less that F7 for a discounted price. A purebred F9+ Bengal kitten is quite expensive....normally about $500 or more, so if you paid less than that for yours, you may have a kitten that is still semi-feral.
I also have a Bangle. He just turned 1 yr old this past month. I know what you are saying with the attacking. Luckly we have another cat that he attacks, not us. Ours is very cuddly though. But that didn't come till he started getting older. I would try and get his attention placed else where. Bangle cats are very very active. They need multiple hours of play time a day. Also, when it comes to playing with them, you need to mix it up too. Sometimes their attention spand can be short. As for the water bottle, I don't think it works. My bangle just sits there like it's no big deal. I can spray him with the whole bottle and he don't care. I have yet to find a way to punish him that actually works. Also, not to make you rethink anymore then you already are, but fyi my bangle likes to jump on everything (counters, fish tanks, ect.), eat plastic and tooth brushes, scratch mirrors, windows, and wood. My bedroom door is completely scratched to heck. On the fun side, Bangles are known as the "dog" in the cat family. They do have more behavior traits like a dog then most cats. In the past 2 months, ours started playing fetch on his own. Try giving yours a drinking straw. Also, one of the best investments we ever made was buying a climbing/ scratching post that goes all the way up to the ceiling. ( only $30 at wal-mart) I hope some of this helps!!!
