A friend of mine recently got two Bengal cats from her aunt. Two little snow spotted tabbies to die for. Seeing these Funny Cats in person is always an experience on it’s own. These kittens are all over the place, plus, in two weeks they’ve already trained my friend to know what meow means what.

Bengal cats are a hybrid breed created from exotic Asian Leopard cat. They are extremely active (my friends two kitties look like squirrels on caffeine), playful and very friendly cats. They will demand your attention, but in return they’ll give you all their love and hours of laughter and play. Compared to a domestic cat they are pretty big and like their wild ancestors they have muscular bodies.

It’s a relatively new breed of pet cats. The first Bengal Cat was registered with the International Cat Association in 1983. Their coat is either spotted or has marbled patterns. There are several colors and patterns recognized and eligible for competition: Brown Spotted Tabby, Seal Mink Spotted Tabby, Brown Marbled Tabby, Seal Sepia Marbled Tabby, Seal Sepia Spotted Tabby, Seal Mink Marbled Tabby, Seal Spotted Lynx Point and Seal Marbled Lynx Point. Silver was recently accepted as a color variation eligible for championship status. Blue and Melanistic (black) are additional colors that occur, but are not yet recognized by most associations that accept the Bengal breed.”
