The Bengal has unique breed origins. It is a recently developed breed of cat, developed in America, where the Asian Leopard cat was crossed with a domestic cat. It was further developed over several generations and now has several distinct breed variants.
Bengal cats are large, sleek and muscular cats, with the hind-quarters slightly higher than the shoulders. The tail, which is carried low, is thick and medium-length tail with a round tip. The ears round and small. The coat can be spotted or marbled and come in a variety of colours, some of which have a unique glitter to the tips of the fur.
The most distinct aspect of a Bengal, though, is its personality. Bengals are affectionate, energetic, playful and chatty. They can coo and chirp, as well as meow, and get on extremely well with humans and other animals alike.
