Bengal

Felis catus × Prionailurus bengalensis

Wissenswertes

Bengals often love water so much they'll join you in the shower, splash in their water bowl, or even swim if given the chance.

A striking hybrid breed with a wild appearance — large spots, rosettes, and a glittering coat reminiscent of its Asian Leopard Cat ancestor. Muscular, athletic, and highly intelligent. Four+ generations removed from wild ancestors for domestic temperament.
