Bengal
The mini leopard
Athletic and wildly patterned, the Bengal brings boundless energy and a jungle-cat look to playful homes.
A little history
The Bengal was created in the 20th century by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat, producing a striking spotted and rosetted coat. Selective breeding refined a gentle housecat temperament while preserving its exotic, glittered appearance.
Temperament
Energetic, curious, and confident, Bengals love climbing, fetching, and even splashing in water, thriving with plenty of stimulation.
