Explanation
A short test of your knowledge on the Bengal breed.
they are especially nosey when you bring home the shopping!
Whilst many owners and breeder choose this method of feeding, all of our kittens and Champions are raised, from weaning, on Royal Canin dry food
Whilst any poorly raised cat can revert to a feral state, the Bengal is no more or less agressive than many other breeds when raised correctly from birth
As yet, the snow marbled Bengal is still awaiting championship recognition by the GCCF here in the UK
Whilst those colours are the only recognised ones for championship status, there are also blues, charcoals, melanistics, cinnamons and smokes
The Seal Lynx Bengals do, but the Minks have green and the Sepias have Hazel
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy & Pyruvate Kinase Deficiency are well known to affect the breed, make sure your new addition is from a breeder carrying out the correct screening and testing procedures
including American Shorthairs, Abysinians, Egyptian Maus, to name a few!
Bengals are still not an accepted breed within one of the oldest cat registries, the Cat Fanciers Association. This is due to their wild cat ancestry
