Chester Bengals

  Hi,I've been breeding bengals cats for 3 years now.I have 1 male named Chester. 2 females Harley and Tuesday.I fell in love with these cats.we have trained chester to walk on a leash.He gets to take a walk 2 times a day.He loves it too.

 Bengal Cats are very intelligent and active.  If you prefer a “couch potato” or a shy cat who disappears when you have guests, the Bengal is not the right choice for you.  They respond to consistent training much like a good dog, much better than some dogs.  The Bengals in our household have no concept of fear.  This tendency is apparent shortly after birth. They are extremely courageous and curious.  The Bengal assumes that any door or drawer or cabinet or box or anything else that is opened is for their entrance and exploration. Since we breed only 3 bengals ,we can give our Mother cats  extra care and comfortable as possible.We are present all the times during the birthing process and assist the 2 Mothers when necessary.

 Size of a bengal:

Bengal Cats vary in size between the genders.  Males range in mature adult size from 11 to 16 pounds, whereas the smaller females range from 7 to 12 pounds at maturity.  The Asian Leopard Cat (ALC) is very small, so the larger Bengals occur as the hybrid generations move past 2 or 3 generations away from the ALC. My cats are F5.  

About Bengals

Bengal kittens / cats have a desirable 'wild' appearance coupled with a gentle domestic cat temperament.

Development: The Bengal is a relatively new breed, developed to have a gentle and friendly temperament, while exhibiting the markings (such as spots, rosettes, and a light/white belly), and body structure reminiscent of the wild Asian Leopard cat. Bengals are a hybrid breed developed over several generations through a process of selectively crossbreeding domestic cats, (possessing desired features), with Asian Leopard Cats.
The breed was developed by Jean Mill of California in the 1970s.

 The first three generations of these hybrid animals are properly referred to as the "filial" generations.
 A Bengal with an  (Asian Leopard Cat) parent is called an F1 Bengal, short for first filial. An F1 then bred with domestic male yields an F2, or second filial. Kittens from an F2 female and another domestic cat are then termed F3. Kittens from a subsequent F3 mating with a domestic are F4s. The F4 and later generations are considered domestic cats and correctly designated as Stud Book Tradition  Bengals.

Name:   'Bengal' was derived from the scientific name of the Asian Leopard Cat : and not from the more widely known Bengal Tiger species, which has nothing to do with their ancestry, or looks.



Colors:   Brown, Silver, Snow (Sepia / Lynx / Mink),and Blue.

Personality:   Bengals can take a great deal of interest in running water and often don't mind getting wet. Most  owners have stories about their cat's affection for running water or even jumping in a sink or tub. Bengals have been known to play games with their owners, such as "fetch" and "hide-and-seek." They tend to vocalize to communicate with their humans. Additionally, they have very high-energy, are intelligent, and curious, and so are particularly interactive with their human housemates, wanting to be in the middle of whatever the human is engaged in, and often following the human around the house as household chores are performed.
