Bengal Cat
Bengal catThe appearance of the Bengal cat has the quality of leopard print. This cat is a hybrid species of domestic cats and Asian leopard cats. It was once one of the most expensive pets in history. A woman once bought a Bengal cat in London for $41,435. Therefore, don’t underestimate it. The price of Bengal cats is much higher than you think.
Why is the Bengal cat called the leopard cat? We translate "Bengal" as "leopard cat" rather than as Bangladesh cat, Bangladesh leopard cat or Bangladesh leopard cat. This is because Bengal has two reasons in English. One is that "Bengal" "Guo Guo", and the second is the common name of the cat "ALC". We adopt Bengal as the common name of "ALC" - translating Bengal into leopard cat (ALC is commonly known as "leopard cat" in the Chinese world, and "Bengal" in the English world). If it is translated as Bangladesh leopard cat or Bangladesh leopard cat, and then translated back into English, it will become "BengalBengal"!
However, if translated into Bangladesh cat, it is obvious that only attention is paid to the principle of "Bangladesh" represented by Bengal and neglects that it is also a common name for a wild cat, which is not very good. Some people may say that in this way, leopard cats have two identities: Asian leopard cats and domestic cats (leopard cats), which may cause confusion in use. Yes, there will indeed be confusion in use, but this confusion is deliberately created by the breeders who breed cats like Bengal, which fully shows that Bengal is a new breed of domestic cat bred by "ALC". If there are other breeders using other breeds of wild cats (such as Serval - Serval cat - Currently, there are breeders in the United States and Canada who are trying to breed another kind of domestic cat from the serval cat - Savannahs, anonymously called "poor cheetahs" or "herb cats", but this has not yet been recognized by any international cat association. ) breeds another new domestic cat through the method of breeding Bengal, but this kind of domestic cat cannot be called Bengal (leopard cat).
So, is it a Bengal cat or a leopard cat? No, strictly speaking, there is still a difference between Bengal cats and leopard cats. Bengal leopard cats are a very special cat species. Its ancestor is a hybrid cat between Asian leopard cat and Egyptian domestic cat. This cat breed has been recognized by TICA International Cat Association in 1984. But it must be the fourth generation of Asian leopard cats to be considered a real Bengal cat.
By the time of the Bengal leopard cat (the fourth generation leopard cat), only 1/8 of the cat's body is left The Asian leopard cat's bloodline has gotten rid of the wild nature of the Asian leopard cat, and its temperament has become generally gentle like other domestic cats. When the cat grows to the fourth generation and 1/8 of the wildness remains in the body, the Bengal cat species occurs! However, many people like abbreviations, but when it comes to pets, these two names refer to the same kind, and they both refer to Bengal cats.
