History, origins and characteristics of the Bengal cat

The Bengal cat is a hybrid fruit of the union between a cat and a leopard feline. Its origin is American.

Physical characteristics

One of the main characteristics of the Bengal cat is the heaviness of its bones. In addition, he is very muscular and strong; has large dimensions, its specimens can reach 9 kg if males and 4 if females.

For this reason, if you want to transport a Bengal, make sure you are in good physical condition to do so.

Its tail is thick and hairy, it has very high back thighs, which gives it a very elegant bearing. He has almond-shaped eyes and always greenish yellow.

Fur

Its exceptional coat is short, close to the body and always brindle. There is no other species like this.

Its coat tends to get tangled so if you want to avoid this, we recommend wiping it with a damp cloth a couple of times a week. This way his coat will always look wonderful.

The basic color of the coat can change, it can go from beige to brown, but it will always be brindle. The dark end of the tail and the spotted pads are characteristic of every specimen of the species.

Character

Its character is hyperactive and very curious, much more than other cats. Despite his origin, which comes from a leopard, he is very affectionate and friendly. He loves being with people and likes continuous cuddles. Although many may fear that the Bengal cat will somehow awaken its wild origin, this will not happen.

There are several generations of Bengal cats and those belonging to the fourth, which come from other Bengal cats that have already been pets, are very sociable and suitable for the role of companion animals. In any case it is always good to castrate them.

Another very common characteristic of these cats is their cunning and their audacity. If you have a cat belonging to this breed, never forget a fillet on the kitchen table, not even for a few seconds, because otherwise you won’t find it when you return.

His stunts will make you laugh. When the Bengal cat is exalted, his instinct leads him to do adventures, such as making several turns or climbing the walls.
