Bengal Cat
Despite its wild ancestry, the Bengal is an affectionate, sociable breed, provided it is separated by at least 3 generations from the original crossing between a domestic and Asian Leopard Cat.

It often attaches strongly to one person, demanding constant attention from that person. It can be taught to fetch and walk on a leash.

Currently it is a rare breed that can be found in America and Europe.The creation of the Bengal breed began in 1963, when Jean Sugden, an American geneticist of Yuma, Arizona, crossed her female Asian Leopard Cat with a black short-haired domestic male in hopes of combining the wild physical characteristics of the Leopard Cat with the friendly disposition of the domestic cat. Though matings between domestic and wild cats usually produce only infertile offspring, the females from this cross were fertile. A female of this litter, named Kinkin, was bred with her father, and produced a litter of both plain and spotted kittens. This breeding project could have been the beginning of the Bengal breed …
