Description
Bengal cats are a fairly new breed of domestic cat, originating from the breeding of a wild Asian Leopard Cat to an Egyptian Mau, Abyssinian, or other domestic shorthaired breed. This type of breeding was done in an attempt to create a smaller version of the beautiful wild cats of the jungle, while maintaining an even, dependable temperament suitable for a family pet. It was also hoped that by making such exotic-looking domestic cats available as pets, people might be less inclined to opt for their wild ancestors, especially since the Asian Leopard cats are not easily domesticated and do not normally make good pets.
The wild Asian Leopard cats appear to have a natural immunity to feline leukemia, which gave rise to some further experimental breeding. It was soon discovered that Bengal cats do not possess a natural immunity to the disease, unfortunately.
Asian Leopard Cats display beautiful spotted coat patterns in various colours, depicting the area of their origin. Warmer areas produce darker, more brownish colours, while cooler regions produce a more reddish brown spotting. There are some excellent books available for those who wish to know more about the wild side of their Bengal cat such as: Getting To Know THE BENGAL CAT by Gene Johnson-Ory, The Guide to Owning a Bengal Cat by Jean S. Mill, and Bengal Cats by Dan Rice.
