Pretty cat, although it seems like someone's making a lot of money selling marmalade tabbies, the world's most common cat :-).

Well, hers was a rescue cat from PetSmart...and she came from an eldery person's home that bred bengal cats.

Seems that the person became very ill and her children or relatives put the cats together into a dogrun in the back yard.

They simply threw food over the fence and it was "every cat for himself".

As a result, this cat always has a look of desperation on her face...as if every bit of food will be her last.

She and my ragdoll Baby are currently hissing and tangling over who's going to be the alpha cat.

Since ragdolls are such docile creatures, I refuse to clip her nails, hoping that the bengal will grow tired of painful scratches she gets from being the instigator.

I call her bengal Al Qaeda and she calls Baby, Coalition.

As far as bengals being marmalade tabbies...bengal pets must be at least 4 generations removed from the wild cat to be shown.

I have seen an F2...only 2 generations from wild. The head is flatter/sloped on top and of course they don't make good pets.

The sounds emitted from bengal cats can be quite startling.
