Chances are good that you have seen a picture of a Bengal Cat and didn’t realize it. You may have thought that the person who owned the cat must own a wildlife preserve because they own a wild cat. However, as wild as Bengal Cats look, they are actually domestic cats.
Bengal kittens and cats are purebred cats. They are a crossbreed between an Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat like an Egyptian Mau, an American Shorthair, an Abyssinian, or an Ocicat. The Bengal kitten is only considered domesticated and appropriate for home ownership and registration to show if it is a fourth filial cat. This means that it is four generations away from the Asian Leopard Cat that it came from. Bengal cat breeders know the generation lines and can only allow an average person to purchase a F4 Bengal Cat.
There are many different kinds of Bengal cats in terms of what their coats look like: Snow Sepia Bengal kittens, Marble Bengal cats, Seal spotted Lynx point, and Seal Mink marbled Tabby are just a few of the different kinds of Bengal cat. A Bengal cat does not get very large. A male can get to be about 20 pounds, and a female can be up to 12 pounds. In a male Bengal cat, their bodies are slightly larger than other domestic cats, but females are about the same size as a domesticated cat.
Like any purebred cat, Bengal cat problems can occur with their health. Joint problems are a common Bengal cat health problem. There are always problems with purebred cats, and since Bengal cats are breed from other purebred cats, any of the genetic problems those cats have can be passed on to the Bengal cat.
