What is a Bengal Cat?
Contrary to popular belief, a bengal cat is not a product of cross-breeding between a normal domestic cat and a bengal tiger but a product of a cross-breed between a domestic cat and an Asian leopard cat. Definitely not from a big and dangerous member of the feline species.
Don't get the perception that these cute felines are "dangerous". They are not a miniature species of tigers. On the contrary these are energetic, socially inclined, cute pets.
The Bengal cat is a relatively new hybrid cat that have tiger like markings such as large spots, rosettes, and light/white belly. It has a desirable exotic appearance but also have a domestic temperament. This cat definitely won't hunt down your neighbor.

- If I knew that Bengals imprinted like baby ducks, I would have socialized my boy differently. While Bengals like and are affectionate to the entire family, they most definitely have a special bond with one person. My boy is bonded like Super Glue.
