The Asian Leopard Cat
The Asian Leopard Cat (Felis Bengalensis) is a small wild spotted
cat, their general build is similar to a normal domestic cat, but with
somewhat longer legs and a longer back. They have a fairly small
head with a short narrow muzzle, large eyes and a thick tail. Body
length varies between 25-32 inches, and they weigh between 7-25
pounds.  There are around ten sub-species all showing different
variations in body color and can be found in southern Asia, across
India, threw China, Koria and the Soviet Far East, on islands such a
Sumatra, Philippines, Taiwan, Borneo, Bali and Java. Since the
Asian Leopard cat dwells in so many regions they have aquired
many different names such as the Javan cat, Wagati cat, Chinese cat
or "money cat", because of  spots resembling Chinese coins.
The Foundation Cat
The first three generations of the breed are considered foundation
cats. They require special attention in their care and handling. They
have a beautiful feral wild beauty that makes them exotic and
striking cats, but serious consideration should be given to their
temperament when owning a foundation.
   
The Bengal
The Bengal is a cross from the Asian Leopard Cat and the domestic
cat. The most commonly used domestic crosses were the
Abysinnian, Egyptian Mau and the Ocicat. This was done to
preserve the effort of retaining the stunning beauty of the Asian
Leopard Cat. The first three generations are called foundation cats.
By the time they reach the fourth generation they are considered
SBT which is the domestic cat resembling characteristics of the
Asian Leopard Cat. The first documented cross between the Asian
Leopard Cat and the domestic cat in the United States is recorded in
1963 by Jean Mill.
 
The SBT
The SBT are domesticated versions of the foundation cat. They
make loving and intelligent house cats with normal litter box habits.
They are inquisitive, curious, explorative and entertaining. Some
even enjoy playing in water. They enjoy both adults and children
and adapt well to other household pets. They have the same
nutritional and immunization requirements as regular domestic cats.  
Structure and Color Bengals are relatively large cats with a short
haired coat. Males can range from 15-25 pounds and females 5-15
pounds. The face has a feral look with small rounded ears and
exotic facial features. They come in a variety of colors and patterns.
There are Spotted and Marbled and Rosetted patterns with colors
ranging from Snow which are varying shade of white cream
background with light brown pattern, to the Brown Tabby which is
various degrees of ruffis, golden, light brown to black-brown colors,
and the new accepted color the Silver which is a white back ground
with a black pattern. There are various other degrees of colors not
recognized by TICA and ACFA which are Blues, Chocolates.
In Summation The Bengal Cat is a wonderful cat to own and love.
They have wonderful temperaments while retaining beautiful exotics
feral patterns and characteristic that are unique to only the Bengal.
Being owned by one of these beautiful cats can be an enjoyable
experience.
