Meet the Bengal

Bengals are most known for their fur coats which have a golden shimmer and designer markings which include spots, rosettes, arrowhead markings, or marbling. Jean Mill, the breed's creator, wanted a unique pet and purchased an Asian leopard which unexpectedly mated with one of Mill's house cats. The first bengal cat was created by the paring and inspired Mill to further the breed which eventually became the bengals we know and love today.
