This cat is full of endearing contradictions. She looks like a wild cat, but it belongs to the most affectionate, friendly velvet paws of all. The so-called Leopardette is not only very attractive but also particularly active. Playfulness, curiosity, and desire to move remain until old age. This beautiful, cuddly and needy silk paw thus needs employment, care and development opportunities. To ensure that their beauty and charm are perfectly distinct and harmonious, this breed should be bought from recognized Bengal breeders.
Portrait of a Bengal: Origin Appearance
The breed is relatively young and only in 1999 was officially recognized by the FIFe ("Federation Internationale Feline," the international umbrella organization of cat breeding associations). At exhibitions they have been seen since the 80s, some 20 years after the first breeding success in the USA. The Bengal is the result of a cross between Asian leopard cat, an endangered wild cat, and a short-haired domestic cat. Thus, due to the direct wild leopard cat ancestors, Bengals reached the considerable weight of five to six kilograms. Adult cats are three to four kilograms. Bengals are so relatively tall, slim and muscular. They sneak in and wear a black ball of noble, dense, short to medium length coat which is either conspicuously spotted ("black / brown spotted") and should be treated with a special care product like advocate for cats or marbled. Typically, the big breed has the attentive eyes of the leopard cat.
Character and special features
She looks like a villain, but an angel. The Bengal cat is very affectionate and cuddly and wants to follow you on its velvety paws. Here, the Bengal cat is also a very active and athletic roommate who really needs action and employment. She is playful and smart, so they also retrieve or can do other tricks relatively quickly and gladly learn them. Their ancestors have put their preference for water in the genes. Bengal cats are attracted to a bathtub, dripping taps, splashing in pools and aquariums is almost magical.
Tips for keeping and caring for a Bengal
The coat of the Bengal is relatively short, and she is very tidy. It cannot hurt to brush your cat every week and massage her every day but be aware of cat fleas. Employment is very important for this breed. She is a perennial climber and needs daily fitness exercises on scratching posts, as well as extensive hunting games and playing on the obstacle course. Bengals, in order to promote mental stimulation, can be taught tricks with the clicker and if you can do so, it’s good to get a second cat, which would be a welcome partner for your Leopardette if you work outside of the home.
