I've found that my Bengal cats are superb companions,
possessing both good looks & an engaging personality - they are intelligent
& often naughty & I wouldn't be without them. To meet them, click
on the link below ...
Developed from a cross between the Asian Leopard Cat (Felis
Bengalis) & various domestic cats, the emphasis of breeders has always been
on temperament ...
these are not agressive cats
They have silken fur, often covered in glitter - there are
three main colours & two patterns

 | Brown (or Black) Spotted
Black, or varying shades of brown, spots on a yellow, buff, golden,
grey or orange ground colour, with a good contrast between the background
& the spots. The spots may be small & round, arrow-shaped,
two-toned or in the form of rosettes. They have green, gold or hazel-coloured
eyes.
|
 | Snow Spotted
This colouration is derived from the Siamese & Burmese
restriction of coat colour & comes in two varieties - blue-eyed &
any-other-eye colour (aoc). The blue-eyed cats are the palest, with an
ivory to cream colour background, sporting spots that can vary from charcoal
to brown. The aoc has a slightly darker ground colour of ivory to tan
but should show a clearly visible charcoal to brown pattern.
|
 | Silver
A silver Bengal has a pale to medium grey coat with
well-contrasting black or dark grey spots. Any sign of yellowing in
the coat is known as tarnishing. Most silver Bengals have green eyes.
|
 | Spotted
Coated in small & round, arrow-shaped, two-toned or in the form of
rosettes.
|
 | Marble
The marble pattern is probably a result of the blotched or classic tabby
pattern being modified by Asian Leopard Cat genes. Marbled Bengals are
striking - their coat is covered with un-symetrical swirled patches &
streaks.
|
 | Glitter
In certain light, some Bengals look as if they have been dipped in gold
dust - difficult to photograph but stunning to look at. Snow Bengals
may also have glitter - but the affect is more pearly.
