There is a reason that Bengal cats look like an animal you would find in the jungle or the zoo. The breed is derived from crossing domestic cats with the Asian Leopard cat, called ALC for short. The ALC are surprisingly small, about the size of a domestic cat. To be considered and registered as a domestic Bengal, the kittens have to be fourth generation removed from the original breeding. Animal lovers looking for F1 Bengal kittens for sale FL appreciate the unique markings that give the cat its wild look.

The litters from the first breeding, the F1, Bengals still retain some of the wild attributes. Their coats are gorgeous with very distinctive markings reminiscent of ALC. The spotted coats come in color variations which are called brown spotted or snow spotted. The F1 Bengal is associated with some controversy. Some new owners discover they are not able to handle the lively temperament of this cat.

All kittens are adorable and the Bengals are no exception. But when your kitten reaches maturity there is some special handling involved. You must really love your cat and want to spend hours playing with the animal. These cats are not aloof and want to play and explore for hours on end. They are prone to excessive marking of their territory, which can be problematic if the owner is not up to breaking them of this habit.

The hybrid F1 came about because the Asian Leopard cat was in danger of extinction. Genetically the ALC is not the same as a domestic cat. One of the advantages they may pass on to their hybrid off spring is immunity to feline cancer. If these cats could help find a cure for feline cancer, it would make a lot of cat lovers very happy.

Owners returning home will find their pet will greet them by wildly jumping about and being a bit of a rascal. Some owners find this very endearing. The appropriate owner will love active pets.

One of the characteristics that makes the cat such an impressive jumper is their hind legs, which are longer than the front legs and designed to help the animal hunt in the wild. Domestically, homes with a Bengal pet never have a problem with rodents. The cats love to hunt and will proudly display their catch.

These pets require a lot of attention from their owners. Bengals are not happy left alone and you do so at your own peril.
