If you are looking for a new cat there are things you will want to learn about the breed of feline you will choose. Bengal kittens are among the most beautiful and exotic animals. However, before you bring one of these felines into your life you should learn about the breed. It is important to understand temperament and behavior of these gorgeous animals.

This breed is a mix of the domestic cat and the Asian Leopard Cat. They are the result of breeding two kinds of feline together that began in the 70s and 80s. With careful attention to the breeding a feline was produced with the disposition of a domestic cat and the beauty of a wild cat.

One of the first things you will notice out this breed is the magnificent coat. It is not just stunning to see, it is smooth and soft to the touch. Their coat will also glisten in the light. These felines have to patterns to their fur, a spotted pattern and a marbled swirl pattern. Both patterns are a mix of three colors with a variety of shades that form the markings.

The Bengals come in an array of colors. The most common colors are blue, brown, silver, and snow. Newer colors include cinnamon, chocolate, and charcoal. The Snows are also called Seal Sepia, Seal Mink, and Seal Lynx Point. You can even get a black or charcoal cat known as melanistic. These cats are like the wild Panther in that they do have marbling and spots but you can only see them in particular light conditions.

A Seal Lynx Point is of Siamese ancestry and always have bright blue eyes. The Seal Sepia is of Burmese ancestry and will never have blue eyes. The Seal Mink is a mix of Sepia and Lynx Point and can have any eye color. Even though the Seal Mink can have blue eyes, they are never as brilliant a blue as the Lynx Point.

The Bengals are pretty big with males weighing as much as 15 pounds and females as much as twelve. Of course there are some cats that are bigger or smaller than the average size, so if a kitten does not reach this weight range there is no cause to be concerned. This is an agile but strong breed with an athletic and slim body. The hind legs are a little longer than the front legs which gives their back a slight arch when standing in a certain position.

Additional physical features of this breed include a small head in comparison to body size. The ears are also small and are suggestive of their ancestry. The ears will also have a patch of short fur that is shaped like a thumb. The thumbprint is similar to that of tabby cats. In addition, they have an M design on their forehead.

This breed of cat is quite mischievous but very intelligent and in need of lots of interaction to keep them occupied. They are very vocal especially when it comes to cleaning their litter box or food. They love to play with their human, love water, and are easily trained. If you want an affectionate, active, and entertaining cat, the Bengal is a good choice.
