So my BFF came to Xgiving dinner and announced she is moving back to Hawaii. Hawaii won’t let her cat in because it’s considered a predator, more of a predator than other house cats. She said her cat, JB, cannot live with other cats because he will try to kill them. And, that he is beautiful. I was amazed at this and asked to see photos.
The Bengal is a domestic cat breed developed to look like exotic jungle cats such as leopards, ocelots, margays and clouded leopards. Wikipedia
You can find out more about Bengal’s here. Some excerpts:
Rising Sun Bengal Kitten Prices. Top Quality Pet: $1000 - $2000 and up depending on Markings and Coloration. Mink Quality Pet $1400 and up depending on Markings and Coloration.
After three generations from the original crossing, the breed usually acquires a gentle domestic cat temperament; however, for the typical pet owner, a Bengal cat kept as a pet should be at least four generations (F4) removed from the leopard cat.
Bengal Cats are no more prone to behavior problems then other cat breeds or moggies. They have no more or fewer litterbox issues than any other cat breed, nor are they more or less aggressive then other cats. ... As a breed, Bengals are affectionate, but usually aren't lap cats, although there are exceptions.
The Bengal cat is not an ordinary cat. This unique breed of exotic cat has many doglike qualities. The breed was created by crossing an Asian Leopard cat with a domestic cat. ... First, second, and occasionally third generation Bengals possess an inherently wild disposition which may not fit well into a family setting.
With his distinctive spotted coat and large size, the Bengal looks like a wild cat on the prowl, but although one of his ancestors is the small, wild Asian leopard cat, he's a domestic cat through and through. Bengals take their name from the Asian leopard cat's scientific name, Felis bengalensis.

From his owner:
He is a pain in the ass, always talking, talking, talking. He wakes me up everyday because he is hungry by touching my face gently like “wake up mommy, tuna, tuna, tuna!” Oh, by the way, his coat glistens gold when he walks, one blingy cat!
I’d love to have this guy stalking in my house. The google tells me he has more of a pelt than fur and doesn’t shed as much or cause allergic reactions as much has other cats do. What a gorgeous cat, I had to share.
