The Bengal cat is a relatively new cat breed. It was bred in the USA as a result of crossing an Asian leopard cat with a domestic breed.

The Bengal cat gets its name from its wild ancestor, which in Latin is called "FelisBengalensis" - "Asian leopard cat".

What is special about the Bengal cat

The main feature of Bengal cats is their wild color. Leopard spotted pattern (brown tabby) or various merle colors with intricate patterns distinguish the breed and make it similar to its wild relatives.

No two Bengal cats are alike - the placement and pattern of spots or markings are unique.

The blood of wild leopard cats flows in their veins, so they are distinguished by good health and impressive size.

Bengals are quite active, curious and playful animals.

Moreover, this character manifests itself not only at a young age, but throughout their lives.

Therefore, you need to raise a kitten from childhood, so that over time it does not turn into an uncontrollable pet.

Veterinarian advice on feeding Bengals

Kittens need to be fed in small portions, 6 times a day.

An adult animal should eat a small portion of food at a time.

When choosing food for your pet, consider not only the composition, but also the expiration date.

If your pet doesn't eat, throw away the remaining food.
