They’re also known for their glitter appearance i.e. The individual strands of fur are “ticked,” meaning there are bands of 2-3 colors on each strand. It feels much like a rabbit’s, like polished fur. But Bengals have no white on their body, other than possibly in their chin or whisker pad area or on their belly.Ī Bengal cat’s fur is very soft and short. That means the pattern on each side of the cat is very different.īengals and domestic tabbies both have spotted bellies. The spots and marbling is randomly distributed, with no set patterns. They can have either spots, rosettes or a marbled pattern to their coat. They can be silver, brown, black (melasnistic), snow, red, cinnamon, smoke, blue, or torbie. Typical coat and color variations of a Bengal catĪfter many generations of breeding, Bengals can now be found in many coat colors. The resulting F1 generation (50% Asian Leopard Cat and 50% domestic cat) was named a Bengal cat and the breed became marketed as “toy leopards.” In the early 1960’s, a breeder cross bred a black domestic shorthair cat with a wild female Asian Leopard Cat. Photos and descriptions just aren’t enough. Without a bill of sale, some sort of registration/pedigree papers from the breeder, or more information from whoever surrendered the cat in the first place, there’s really no way to guarantee the type breed the cat may be. Tabby cats and Bengal cats can often look very similar. Whenever we share a photo of one of the dozens of hybrid wild cats we’ve rescued, someone always asks the question, “Could my rescue be a Bengal?”
