The Bengal breed is a domestic cat whose origin is a cross between the Asian Leopard Cat (ALC) and a domestic cat.  The Asian Leopard Cat is a small spotted wild cat ranging by weight from 5 pounds to as much as 15 pounds.  The Bengal has the characteristics of being a very active cat, an excellent climber, a cat that likes to play in water, a very intelligent cat. These cats are personable, and like to follow their owners around. The Bengal breed is believed to be more disease resistant then other domestic cats.  The American Bengal cat population is increasing rapidly as this breed is becoming very popular. The first line of Bengals was introduced in the mid 1960's and redeveloped in the 1980's.  The bengal cat is the best selling breed in the south westren United States.  This is contributed to the short hair of the bengal breed and the interesting personality of a bengal cat.  The bengal is basically a healthy breed. It is a relatively new breed and continues to grow in popularity both in the south westren United States and in all states.  Owners of bengal cats have been surprised when the cat has followed them into the shower and somethings has even jumped into the bath tub along with their owners.  It is clear that the bengal is no ordinary cat, his spots give him the appearance of a wild cat, and indeed, the bengal is part wild cat!  In spite of the wild cat in the bengal, most bengals have a gentle loving personality that their owners never seem to tire of talking about.

The current line of Bengals are from the 1980's origin. The typical Bengal is slightly larger then the typical domestic cat.
