Breeders Message
People
who have seen Bengals in person agree that these cats stand
alone as the most stunning in looks and unique in nature of any
cat that they have ever experienced. Bengals are currently
the most sought after breed in the country and are especially
popular in the world of celebrities.
Someone who enters a room having never seen a Bengal before will
immediately gravitate to the cat. The cat will be alert
and self confident, athletic and panther-like in its movement.
They are extremely bright but are not affected by the notion
that the world revolves around them.
With a touch of wild blood, these cats retain their exotic coat
and pattern, mimicking a leopard or swirls of marble. The
coat will be short, tight and slick. Some say that it looks
polished and feels like satin. (Shedding is never an issue).
Some cats are "glittered" in which the individual hairs look like
sparkling gold dust in the sunlight.
Like dogs, Bengals enjoy playing with their owners.
Without any training, my Bengals will often bring a little ball
for me to throw for them. They will roar after it and
after a successful attack they will bring it back for me to do
all over again.
They come when they are called...not one hundred percent of the
time, but most of the time. Our first Bengal adopted our
son and would wait by the door for him to come home from school.
All that he had to do was make a little noise and Kiska would
stop whatever she was doing and would follow him wherever he
went. Of course she slept on his bed.
We have dogs, big ones, a Doberman, a Husky, and a Shepherd, so
guess who is the boss? Of course, it is the cats!
The kittens will even occasionally run right over the dogs while
playing in wild abandonment.
Water. It does not bother them in the least, in fact, they
like it. If you are taking a shower and the door is not
properly shut tightly you may experience some company.
Bengals are cats with an extra dose of personality. To say
that these cats have enriched our lives would be an
understatement!
