BENGAL KITTENS FOR ADOPTION USA 

Bengal kittens for adoption USA the Bengal is a domestic cat that has physical features distinctive to the small forest-dwelling wildcats, and with the loving, dependable temperament of a family pet. As such, some characteristics in the appearance of the Bengal are distinct from those found in other domestic cat breeds.

      The Bengal breed originated as a hybrid of a domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) and a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis). The leopard cat looks very much like a domestic cat, except for the larger, snapping eyes, pronounced whisker pads, longer legs, and brilliant leopard-style markings. It looks, in fact, like a miniature leopard.

The Bengal breed began when a female leopard cat was purchased from a pet store. Unlike today, at the time leopard cats could be purchased at pet stores in the United States. This is no longer the case due these cat’s special needs and state requirements. The intent of purchasing the leopard cat was not to create a new breed of cat, the individual, Jean Mill, simply wanted a unique pet.

BENGAL MARBLE The marking of the marble has been introduced by the �Classic Tabby Gene�, one of the domestic cats used for the beginning of the bengal breed creation.

The marble markings are created by gracious swirls horizontally aligned, which makes it different from the conventional cat that offers a vertical alignment of the swirls, known as “bullseye” which is an undesired feature in the marble.

The tones in a marble swirls are black, brown, gold, rufus and cream. The marble is important in the breeding program to enhance the quality of the rosettes. In the same way, we can find snow marbles and silver marbles, among other coloures.
