7 Things you may not know about Bengal Cats

1. Bengals have an amazing memory - which can be both a blessing and a curse.

2. Bengals love water! They are not shy around h2o and love playing with it, drink a lot of it, and like to dip their paws in it.

3. Bengals are super, ultra chatty cats - they love to express themselves and have dozens of vocal inflections to communicate with you. Sometimes you think that they are talking to you!

4. The coat is a Bengal's most notable characteristic. The base color can be speckled or marbled with different kinds of markings that decorate the coat. This includes bicoloured rosettes, arrow-point rosettes, open rosettes, and closed rosettes. Some Bengals can inherit the "glitter" gene which gives their coat an iridescent sheen and makes it look like their fur is sparkling in the sun!

5. They love to play and are very active - playtime with your Bengal is fun and they are always up for a good run around the house, with various techniques.

6. The Bengal's fur is incredibly soft and sheds very little. As a true hypoallergenic cat, their mane is quite beautiful.

7. Bengals are true athletes - they are very active and can actually jump up to three times their height!
