Bengal Cat



If you are at this site, then you must be interested in Bengal cats. If you are then you have come to the right place to learn about the Bengal domestic cat.

There are only two things that make Bengal cats distinct from all other cats. The fur color and their attitude. These two things I will explain. I will also talk about the history of Bengal cats.

First off I will start with where Bengal's came from.  They were originally bread to make a good companion with and exotic look, but a domestic temperament. They wanted a domestic cat that looked like the Asian leopard cat. So they crossed an Asian leopard cat with a domestic cat. They kept working at breeding until they got the color they wanted and the personality. Therefore the Bengal cat was born.

Now comes the information about why Bengal cats are mostly recognized. Which is for their color. For the simplest reason as it's the first thing we notice.

We don't see their attitude first. Bengal's are known to stand out in a crowded area because of their fur. Bengal's are not always the same color. There are several different background colors they can have. There is gold to brown, to even ivory. The pattern that Bengal's will have is the leopardess print.  This was the whole reason people would breed them in the first place. People wanted to make a mini version of the Asian leopard cat. This is why if a Bengal doesn't have the leopardess print then it is rare.

The next thing I will talk about is what kind of personality the Bengal cat has. Bengal's are fun loving, active, family friendly and very active. Bengal's like to be petted, as they like attention just like any other pet. Bengal's love to be around people. They are very friendly. weather it is just snoozing on the couch next to you or playing with the newest toy.

Bengal's will also play in water. They aren't afraid of water like most other cats. You might find your Bengal cat playing in his water dish or trying to catch the goldfish from the fish tank. This is a attribute that could identify your cat as a Bengal.

Another thing that you should know about Bengal's is that they are very active and don't like to just laze around all the time like some domestic cats. Bengal's are more "into" running around the house exploring, hunting for mice, and things like that.  They would rather go for a walk on a leash more than laze on the couch and sleep. Though sometimes their personality may change that a little bit. But most of the time that pretty much stays the same.

Bengal's also love to be around other felines. They will either cling to you a lot, or they will cling to you and a friend. Remember that Bengal cats are domestic. They are no longer an Asian leopard cat. They are now a  Bengal domestic cat. They will want human companions. They are very good with children for this reason and the fact that they are very playful and active. Bengal cats are very interested in making bonds.

In conclusion, I hope this information has helped you know more about the Bengal cat breed. I know now that you have learned about Bengal cats you will be very excited to see one for yourself. Weather that means getting one for a pet, or just visiting the local pet store to see one in person.
