The Bengal cat, a striking feline hybrid, is a result of a cross between the domestic cat and the Asian leopard cat. The ‘big’ in the phrase “big Bengal house cat” is often used to describe the Bengal’s large size compared to other domestic cat breeds.

Bengal cats are prized for their distinctive spotted or marbled coats, resembling their wild ancestors. They are known for their playful, energetic nature and often form strong bonds with their human companions.
