Bengal Kittens for Sale - Cat Breed Information

Size : Large

Origin : America

INTRODUCTION
The Bengal cat is quite a new breed of cat and was first bred in America. It was originally created by crossing an Asian Leopard cat with a domestic cat. The aim of this was to create a cat with a friendly and gentle nature like a domestic cat, but which looked like a wild leopard cat with the same markings.

APPEARANCE
The Bengal cat is a medium sized cat. Males can usually weigh as much as 15lb (9kg), and a female cat will grow to 8 - 10 lb (4 - 6 kg).
Bengal cats are very muscular cats with their hind-quarters slightly higher than their shoulders.

They have a wild appearance and a distinctive spotted coat which resembles a leopard. The bengals face contains a series of distinct horizontal stripes, whilst the top and sides of their body are marked out with spots, similar to those of a Jaguar.

CHARACTERISTICS
Although a Bengal cat has a desirable 'wild' appearance, its still has a gentle domestic cat temperament.
These cats are typically very playful and are full of energy.

Unlike most domestic cats, bengals usually take an interest in running water and dont even mind getting wet. Some bengals have even been known to jump in the bath or sink before.
