Bengal cat

Description

The Bengal cat is a breed of hybrid cat created from crossbreeding an Asian leopard cat to domestic cats, especially the spotted tabby Egyptian Mau. Bengals have varying appearances. Their tabby coats range from domestic spots to hybrid rosettes, arrowhead markings, and marbling. The breed is selectively bred and pedigree registered with most of the major cat registries. The breed's name derives from the leopard cat's taxonomic name. The bengal cat is considered a medium to large breed.
