About the Bengal Cat

It is said that the Bengal cat was created from the Asian snow leopard and a domestic cat and became popular in the 1960's. The Bengal breed is fairly new as far as other breeds are concerned, and is just starting to be accepted as a show breed. They are rare in appearance and get their name from the out of the ordinary Bengal tiger, even though they are unrelated. Bengals have spotted or marbled coat patterns that are available in a few various colors and the coat is short and smooth.

Their personality is recognized to be very lively and they want a lot of attention from their owners. This is not a typical independent cat as Bengals are very socially outgoing and love to have fun. Bengal Cats may not be as accepting to children as other breeds so make sure to think about this before buying one. Socialization at an early age when the kitten is little is very crucial with Bengals.

Taking Care of Bengal Cats

If you decide to find a Bengal as a pet, caring for one will not be terribly hard. They have a glossy smooth short coat that does not need daily brushing although it is effective. You want to provide a constant supply of new food and water. Make sure to start a rapport with a veterinarian and take your Bengal cat on a consistent basis for checkups.

A scratching post and other toys are recommended for this breed as they are particularly active and can get into things if left alone with nothing to do. Bengal Cats make excellent companions and wonderful pets when taken care of correctly.

Where to Acquire a Bengal Cat

The top place to find a Bengal cat is locally through a reliable breeder. Browse your local paper or ask your vet if any Bengal breeders exist in your neighborhood. Since the breed is not as widespread and rather new it is probable that there are no breeders in your area. Your next action would be to browse the internet for Bengal cat breeders. There should be a few Bengal cat guides or directories that have a list of breeders in your area. Once you find a Bengal cat breeder that is close enough you can go to them directly and see firsthand if the breeder has healthy kittens. Don't buy from a breeder that you do not get along with, that has unfit kittens, or has unfair policies. You want to make certain that the kittens are registered and you get a copy of that when you make a deposit.

Need help with naming my Bengal cat?
Yes, I finally bought a bengal cat. She was born today. I still have 2 months till she will be with me but I was asked by the breeder to pick a name for the beautiful girl. Btw if you're in the us and are wanting to purchase a bengal or savannah cat. I highly recommend this breeder who breeds in her home. Anyone interested let me know and I can give you all the information. Anyways, those who don't know what a Bengal cat is I will briefly explain. The Bengal cat's ancestor is the Asian leopard. It's a domestic cat whose looks reamble a leopard but they have the sweetest personality ever. Also they are very clever and smart cats. So I'm having trouble picking a name for my new baby. I was thinking jasmine or pebbles or something in that nature. It has to be exotic or African or spotted like. Since she does have big beautiful rossetts all over. PLEASE HELP!!! Here is the breeders website http://fureverexotics.com/index.html. Since I've contacted her she has called me with any new updates of the pregnant mama. Has contacted me when kittens where born and gave me all the information on how she raises these cats. If you look at her facebook page all of her customers are very happy and are wanting to buy another one from her. Me being one of them. The deposit and prices are very reasonable and she's truly a pleasure to work with. Oh you guys are making this even harder. But some of you have come up with some really great ones. For the person on the anti breeding speech. I really don't care of your opinion and what you believe is ethical or unethical. Stop flagging everyone's answers as bad. Because I like their answers. And honestly it all depends on how a kitten is raised. You socialize it enough it will be a great pet. I already have two cats from a shelter and I've always wanted a bengal cat. So I shall do as I please! Also, you don't know how I care for my kittens, what I feed them nor what type of house I have. I def don't feed them by products and I have plenty for them to be occupied. Anyways. I really like Bella, cleopatra, and Milan the best so far. I already have an Emma in my home. She is black as the night. She does show her cats. Look through the individual cat info. Few of them have won prices. She's a very small in home breeder. I would take her my day compared to the big breeders. Im skeptical on big breeders because a lot of things get over looked. Here you will find our most recent cat show news. Also see previous show news by clicking the link at the bottom of this page. We showed Lincoln our brown spotted (Rosetted) stud back in February. See him on our kings page. We are also excited to announce that we have added Starkittie Tucana to our program a beautiful Seal Lynx spotted (Rosetted) boy. He recieved his Champion title at the South Bend Indiana show in April 2010. Also he was the number 2 spotted snow Bengal in the great lakes region in 2010. Way to go Tuca!!!! I want to say thanks to Tami from Starkittie Bengals for all her help and encouragement. She has been wonderful helping me to learn and to strengthen the Bengal breed through proper knowledge. I couldnt have done it wihtout her. I have talked to other breeders and judges to learn everything I can about Bengal cats so that I may continue to improve the breed. Knowing what is good qualities and whats undesireable is key. Thank you to all who were so patient and have
