About
The Bengal is a domestic cat breed developed to look like exotic jungle cats such as leopards and ocelots. The breed was created by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), a small wild cat native to South and Southeast Asia. American breeder Jean Mill is credited with establishing the breed in the 1970s and 1980s. Bengals are known for their distinctive spotted or marbled coat with a characteristic glittery sheen. They are highly active, intelligent, and curious cats that require significant daily exercise and mental stimulation.
