Bengal

The Bengal was developed by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat, resulting in a strikingly wild-looking coat with spotted or marbled markings and a glittery sheen unique to the breed. Athletic and muscular, Bengals are high-energy cats that love to climb, jump, and often enjoy water more than the average cat. They are intelligent, curious, and easily bored, so they do best with plenty of enrichment — cat trees, puzzle feeders, and daily play sessions. Bengals are vocal and form strong bonds with their families, sometimes described as more dog-like in their interactivity. Their short, dense coat requires minimal grooming despite its luxurious appearance.
