The Bengal is a breed of short-haired domestic cat which was developed in the USA in 1970 by breeding an Asian leopard with a domesticated tabbycat. The fur is leopard-patterned, thick, soft and consists of random rosettes of light spots within darker outer circles on a rufus-coloured background. The ears are small and slightly pointed, the tail is long and tapering, the eyes are very large and round and golden. The hind legs are shorter than the forelegs, a trait that makes the cat look like it is stalking when it walks and it has the gentle temperament of its tabby ancestor. Research Bengal

The chest is full and broad, the legs short and strong, the back level and the paws well-rounded and firm. the short tail is thick at the base and tapers to a rounded tip. the head is broad and round on a short, solid neck. The breed is robust and healthy, developing in the changeable British climate, and occurs in many colours, black, white, tabby, cream and others. Research British Shorthair
