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.

Temperamen & kepribadian

  • Active
  • Curious
  • Confident
  • Vocal

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.

Perawatan bulu & harian

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.

Kecenderungan kesehatan yang perlu diperhatikan

Setiap ras punya predisposisi. Ini hal-hal yang layak dibahas dengan dokter hewan Anda โ€” bukan diagnosis.

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