Your guide to the history, characteristics
and personality of the Bengal Cat
 History of the
Bengal
Cat
The Bengal
cat came about during the late 1970s: Cat Breeders wanted to
produce a cat with a spotted pattern and similar colors and
facial qualities similar to the Asian Leopard Cat. In order
to produce the Bengal Cat an Asian leopard cat was cross-bred
with a domestic shorthair brown tabby cat. Cat Breeders
were successful with producing the desired cat characteristics
but the Bengal Cat retained its 'wild cat roots' and behavior.
Appearance of
the
Bengal Cat
The Bengal Cat has a large, sleek body
with an untamed look. It is strong-boned and very muscular.
Its spotted coat pattern must cross 1st and 2nd generation
kittens in order for it to remain in future litters.
Personality of
the
Bengal Cat
The Bengal Cat Personality can be
described as wild and untamed with a definite hunting
instinct. Breeders recommend at least 5 generations removed
from the cross-breeding before you adopt the Bengal cat as a
household pet.
