Bengal

A miniature leopard for your living room.

The Bengal is an athletic, wild-looking breed created by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat. It is celebrated for its glittered coat and bold rosetted or marbled markings, paired with an intensely active, curious personality.

Bengals are high-energy problem-solvers that climb, leap and investigate everything. Many love water, learn to open doors and thrive on interactive play and puzzle feeders. Without enough stimulation they can become destructive, so they suit owners ready to provide vertical space, toys and daily engagement.

العناية والرعاية

The short pelt is essentially wash-and-wear, needing only occasional brushing and shedding minimally. The real "care" is behavioural: tall cat trees, wall shelves, puzzle toys and training sessions keep this intelligent breed satisfied and out of trouble.

لكل سلالة استعدادات وراثية خاصة بها. هذه أمور تستحق النقاش مع طبيبك البيطري — وليست تشخيصات.

Progressive retinal atrophy (PRA-b) has a genetic test
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) can occur
Pyruvate kinase deficiency (anaemia) — DNA-tested by good breeders
High activity means secure, escape-proof spaces matter
