Bengal Cats are completely domesticated with none currently in the wild at this moment. Yet they come from two well-known wild cat species, the Asian Leopard Cat & Egyptian Mau. Both of these wild cats are among the smallest known to the animal kingdom, with some also serving as domesticated cats already in several European and Asian homes.

We call their offspring a “Bengal Cat,” and they share distinct similarities with their parents. They have a golden shimmer coat with some also showing spots, rosettes, marbling, or arrowhead markings. All are usually relatively small as well. They may grow teeth or claws meant for the wild, but those can be filed down.
