Bengal Cat

Everyone always tells me that I have one of the most exotic looks in all the feline world. Not surprising, really. My lineage does come from wild cats, you know.

Just one glance at my unique coat and you'll immediately know I'm one of a kind. Sure, my coat's not as long and silky as some cats, but it is dense and lush enough to make you want to bury your face in it.

And that's not even the best part - my coat is a feast for the eyes. Its a veritable jungle of distinctive colors with a striking contrast of vivid marbling and angled, horizontal stripes.

Oh, you'll stare. Everyone does.

And I don't blame them. After all, not everyone has a coat like mine. It comes in stunning hues, particularly seal lynx point, brown and seal sepia.

If you're lucky, I might even have some rosette highlights like my distant cousins the Ocelot and the Lynx. They're both wildcats, you know. As for the other domestic cats, well, none of them flaunt a coat quite like mine.

But my looks aren't just fur-deep. I have a cute, small-ish head compared to the overall size of my body. It's also remarkable agile and I show it off by swivelling it in any direction I want, especially when I'm in an inquisitive mood.

Not in a 360-degree owl-like way - that'd be creepy. Think more graceful swan.

Oh, and if you're into perky ears - mine are perfect. And they won't flop or sag with age, either. To top off their pert perfection, they're noticeable rounded at the tips, which lends them an elegant flair, if I do say so myse

I can be a little high maintenance, but it really isn't that complicated to keep me healthy and happy.

Compared to other cat breeds, I don't have any special requirements when it comes to grooming, diet and care. All I need is a weekly meticulous grooming to keep my coat spotless and a careful brushing of my teeth every couple of days to fend off dental problems like periodontal disease.

A visit to my cat doctor every 6 months should be on your regular schedule as well, but you already knew that.
