Bon à savoir

À qui convient-elle ?

Owners who want a striking cat with a calm, trainable temper; many walk on a lead.

Entretien

Weekly brushing. Teach it tricks and give it climbing space — it is clever and wants a job.

Histoire de la race

Judy Sugden, daughter of the Bengal's creator, began the breed in the 1980s after noticing tabby markings on one of her cats' temples. She added an Indian street cat to the programme in 1993 and worked toward broken vertical stripes over twenty years.
