BREED HISTORY

The Bengal Cat is a domestic cat that has been breed to look like a miniature Leopard or as most of us would say " Lap Leopard". The Domestic Bengals size ranges from the males being an average weight of 15 lbs ( but may look heavier because of their long and muscular bodies) to the Females with an average weight of around 11 lbs.

The Bengals came about by Jean Mills who bred an Asian Leopard Cat  (as pictured below) with a Black Domestic Cat.

     

The breed was originally started in 1963 by Jean but was not recognized by organizations such as the T.I.C.A until the early 1980's.

The Bengal Cats personality is very different from other felines but overall they are very curious, determined and humorous cat. The Bengals have a dog like personality and disposition about them. They love to jump, play in water and can even be taught to play fetch.
