What is a Bengal........

The Bengal Cat is a domestic hybrid crossed originally with a domestic cat and an Asian Leopard cat (Felis Bengalensis).  The Asian Leopard cat is found in the Southern parts of Asia.  It weighs between 7 and 15 lbs.  It is elusive by nature and avoids confrontation.  The Asian Leopard Cat is spotted and in many cases their spots are rosetted.  Rosetted is a two-tone spot that has a dark outline and a warmer contrasting inside color.  Inside colors range from shades of red, orange and tan.  Rosettes resemble arrowheads; donuts or paw prints which give the distinctive wild look to their coat.  Their eyes are crisp and distinctive and their coat has sharp contrast.  They have a small head with more pronounced whisker pads then a domestic cat.  All of these qualities give the Bengal of today its distinctive look and type.  It is no wonder Bengal Cats have become very popular in the cat fancy arena and as family pets.

The Bengal Cat is affectionate, athletic, playful, energetic and will amaze you with their ability to learn and understand commands.  They can be leash trained and click trained as well.  Some Bengals fetch, do tricks and even come to you at your command.  Bengal Cats have the same requirements that any other domestic cat would have.  They are cared for by your local veterinarian and don't require any special shots or vaccinations other than the normal shots that any domestic cat is given throughout its lifetime.  Bengal Cats tend to be vocal and lovers of water.  They get this love for water from their ancestor the Asian Leopard Cat, which spends some of its day near streams in the wild.

The Purrfect Spot has available Bengal babies year round and ships within the United States.  I often have Pet Quality, Breeder Quality and Show Quality kittens.  I hold all of my kittens to at least 10 weeks as to give them time to build up their natural immune system and have all of their shots  done before they leave for their new home.  All Bengals are sold with a full health guarantee and my cattery is tested FELV and FIV Free.
