The Bengal cat did not acquire its name at all because of Indian origin. The breed was bred in the sunny state of California not so long ago - in 1963. American breeders wanted to create a "little domestic leopard", so they crossed a leopard cat with an ordinary domestic shorthair. Bengals received their official recognition only twenty years later, in 1983. A kitten is considered purebred if the genes of wild leopard ancestors are clearly manifested in it (at least 12%, preferably 25%).
Bengal cat - the photos clearly demonstrate this - it looks very much like a small leopard. This is a large animal: males weigh up to seven kilograms, and females - about four. They are very graceful, long-legged, and the plasticity of their movements is simply mesmerizing. Thick, but short hair and innate cleanliness make the care of these animals extremely easy. Enoughoccasionally bathe a pet, especially since Bengals, unlike relatives, simply adore swimming.
Some people claim that the Bengal cat character is wild, pugnacious or, conversely, shy. It's not like that at all. The breeders just worked to ensure that the owners of small leopards did not have any problems with keeping animals in the family. Excessively timid or, on the contrary, aggressive individuals were not allowed for further breeding. The nature of these pussies is affectionate, like most domestic cats. They priv
speak to all households, although one family member is singled out in particular. They show their preference by the fact that they like to take a nap with their chosen one on … the neck or shoulder. Do not be surprised: this is a vestige of wild ancestors, because in nature leopard cats feel safe only hiding in the crown of trees.
As already mentioned, these animals are not at all afraid of water and love to splash around for hours. They will follow their chosen one to both the shower and the bath. Their favorite entertainment is to lower their toys into the water, and then fish them out of there. The Bengal cat, whose character can be called extremely affectionate, will share the bed with the owner. You can not buy her a personal bed or a house - she will ignore them anyway. Bengal is sure: the best place to sleep is under the covers, at the master's side.
Until old age, the Bengal cat retains a playful and inquisitive character. She manages to adapt completely unsuitable things for games. Worth keeping away from her.an aquarium with fish, clothes, shoes, matches, threads, newspapers, cereals … in a word, everything that can be scattered, scratched and torn. But then it should be presented with toys, all the time different, new and wonderful. Bengals have a vicious passion to hide somewhere in a shelter and from there enjoy watching all the households looking for them.
If you are a distracted and even careless person, a Bengal cat will teach you to put things in place and securely lock the closet. The nature of this animal is such that, having seen once how a person opens the refrigerator and takes out food from there, he will immediately repeat his actions. Bearing in mind the passion of Bengals for bathing, you should have tight handles from water taps in the house, otherwise the pet will decide to fill the bath on its own. These cats are "talkative", and the sound of their purring betrays their origin: from the jungle. At the same time, these pussies do not have any smell of a “wild beast”. They get along well with dogs and other cats.
