Confident, alert, intelligent and friendly. Bengals are known to be big talkers,
communicating with their large, expressive eyes what they can't convey through meows
and chirps. These cats are curious, entertaining and have a special love of water. Bengals
have a high energy level but require minimal grooming, a weekly brush out or rub down
controls shedding.

Bengal Cats!
The International Cat Association defines the Bengal as at least a fourth-generation
descendant of a crossing between the wild Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat. The
first three foundation crosses are identified as F1s, F2s and F3s. The ideal Bengal is
domestic in personality, but displays the wild cat's pattern of rosetted spotting and the
pelted look.

Bengals are sleek and muscular with a wedge head that is longer than wide; a broad nose
and large oval eyes. While the traditional Bengal color is brown tabby--black, brown or
rust color in clear contrast to a tan or orange background, The International Cat
Association also recognizes seal lynx point, seal sepia tabby and seal mink tabby colors,
and spotted (single-colored spots or two-toned rosettes in a random pattern) and marble
(random tabby markings minus the distinctive bull's eye) patterns.
