3.) Bengal Rosette Patterns

Single-Spotting

Is used to define a pattern that has no second color to the spot (there is only the background color of the cat and the one spot color).

Cluster Rosettes

Is used to define a pattern with small spots forming clusters around the second “inner” color that is different from the background.

Paw-Print Rosettes

Is used when the rosette is open on one side and there are spots edging the second color creating a pattern that looks like paw prints walking across the background.

Embryonic Rosettes

Is when the spot shows subtle signs of a second color on the edges. (note; this pattern is also displaying the arrowhead pattern as an embryonic rosette)

Doughnut Rosettes

Is used to define a rosette that is completely or almost completely outlined with a darker color and the center is a distinctly different color to that of the background.

Arrowhead Rosettes

Is used when you see a spot or rosette in triangular shapes with the “tip of the arrow” pointing toward the back of the body. (note; this pattern can also be solid in the single spotted group.)

4.) What do bengals eat? Can they eat regular cat food?

A)  Bengals can eat dry food, however,  I personally like to feed my bengals closer to what they would consume in the wild. Bengals can easily digest raw meat, because cats were designed to (we never see cats building fires and cooking meat in the wild). They tend to eat less because they can digest the food better and they receive the nutrients they need easier. Fat cats lose weight and skinny cats gain weight on this diet. It also eliminates any stomach and bowel problems. Cats with a history of loose stools and vomiting soon get better on a raw meat diet. Another good thing about feeding raw is it costs less and there are no stinky stools. That's right, no smell whatsoever!!! Best of all it is healthy.

All of my kittens are fed a combination of dry and canned food. My preference include Royal Canin (Intense Beauty & Kitten Instincitive varieties) & Blue Wilderness foods. Nutrients can be found in a variety of sources, but the right ingredients help deliver optimal nutrition for optimal health.

5.)Do bengals get along with other cats/dog/children?

A) Just like any other cat there may be a period of adjustment for your new bengal. Most bengals will eventually get along with your cat/dog once they become familiar with them and know that they are safe to be around. Bengals tend to like children because they are playful and children like to play with them. As with any cat though you have to be careful about letting very small children play with your bengal unsupervised. Any cat can inflict harm on a small child when frightened or hurt.
