Bengal cats are the descendants of a cross between the
Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat, originally
Egyptian Maus, Abyssians or Ocicats.
The Asian Leopard Cat
The general built of an Asian Leopard Cat (Felis bengalensis) is similar to
a normal domestic cat, but with somewhat longer legs and a longer back.
They have a relatively small head with a short narrow muzzle, large eyes
(because of their nocturnal habits) and a thick tail of about 11 to 14
inches length. Body length varies between 25 to 32 inches, and they
weigh between 7 to 20 pounds. Size and weight vary between
subspecies in different geographical regions, but the males are generally
heavier than the females.
