We had a very docile, well behaved, 11-year old Siamese -- Amelia. We decided to get her a kitten for companionship. Then we thought the kitten would need a companion. We found a breeder of Bengals and Siamese nearby and went to get two kittens. Unfortunately, we fell in love with a pair of Siamese and a pair of Bengals. In a moment of relative clarity, if not sanity, we decided to leave one of the Siamese for someone else. We brought three kittens home. This is their story.

Ancestry

There is a lot of information on the web about Bengals, which were developed from a cross between an Asian Leopard Cat and and a domestic cat. The International Bengal Cat Society is a good site that has an article on the Asian Leopard Cat that includes links to video and audio of the wild cat. Bengalcat.co.uk has a nice article on the ALC with picture.

Our Bengals have the same father, Leopald.

Boy Bengal's mother is Judy and Girl Bengal's mother is Kiara Golden Touch (no pictures available yet).
