The History and characteristics of the bengal cat

Brief History

The bengal cat is a popular modern hybrid which has been produced by mating a wild asian leopard cat with a domestic cat. The first offspring of this particular mating are known as F1, and the next generation is known as F2 and so on.
F1 and F2 males are sterile however fortunately females are fertile and often have litters of 1 to 3 kittens. These are then bred with domestic cats to produce studs and queens used for breeding.

It is not until the 4th generation that the hybrids are recognised as bengals and can be exhibited on the show bench.

Characteristics

Bengal cats have very loving personalities and make excellent house pets. Although their requirements are fundamentally the same as any cat, they have certain unique characteristics. Bengals love company and we would always recommend considering getting two kittens.

Bengals do not move like other cats, they will prowl around your house and stalk their toys like a real leopard going in for the kill. Bengal cats are very muscular and agile cats and love to climb.

Bengals are highly intelligent and quickly become very attached to their owners.,
