Traits

A dozen things you can count on in a Bengal.

  • 1.    Exotic wild looks, bold colors and patterns.                              
  • 2.    Powerful muscular physique, yet graceful, agile and athletic.
  • 3.    Loves water, to watch it move, to play in, to wash their feet, and very particular with their drinking water. They prefer a cold fresh, FULL bowl of water. To expect them to drink from less, “is very demeaning“, as their look and cry of protest will quickly tell you.                        
  • 4.    Entertaining, funny, busy and playful.    
  • 5.    Seeks company and companionship, sociable, friendly.
  • 6.    Loyal to the ones they love.     
  • 7.    Loving and affectionate, loves to cuddle. Will snuggle and hug.       
  • 8.    Strong memory, can think, plan, (will even work together with another cat) and execute.                     
  • 9.    Alert, always in tune to their surroundings. Example: Cat is sleeping on hubbies lap in the recliner, you open a can of Fancy Feast in the kitchen, hubby and cat are both now awake, as the cat madly leaped and spun from hubbies lap on a mad sleep crazed dash to the kitchen.
  • 10.    Very healthy, no breed specific known health risks                                    
  • 11.    Easy care coat, fur pelt, little to no continual shedding                                        
  • 12.    Glitter: the only domestic cat known to have “glitter” in their coat. The glitter is like a light that shimmers from with-in each hair to its tip. To see a Bengal with glitter (especially in the sunlight) is to be in awe of this magnificent creature.
