Bengal Cats Are Not Hybrids
Yes. At one time Bengal cats were considered hybrids. Breeding down from the Asian Leopard Cat the first few generations of Bengal were and are hybrids. They are filials. Foundation breeders. Then some dumb ass breeders along the way refused to put the time and effort into the socialization of their foundation Bengals and sold them without much concern for the future.
Bengal Cats Are Not Hybrids
We are dealing with the fallout twenty years after the fact. States such as Georgia, Florida, and even my home state of Delaware. Wow. Idiots. True ignorant idiots. It’s almost as bad as one law our old Governor passed on paintball because kids were playing that sport in the woods near her home. It’s just ignorant and selfish.
So what is a Bengal if it's not illegal?
A Bengal is a brown short-haired tabby. That’s it. That’s all a Bengal is. The bloodlines are so far removed from the ALC that it’s right up there with Elizabeth Warren being .000002 percent Indian.
Bengals are domestic cats with spots. That’s it. Unfortunately, the world around us is full of people without any common sense. From fools who don’t socialize their cats before selling them, to legislators who know dick about genealogy.
If you buy a Bengal from me, it’s in name only. They are brown short-haired tabby cats. Loving, sweet, and truly beautiful to look at.
So what is a Bengal if it's not illegal?
Taking your cat to the vet in a state that has designated this breed illegal? Tell your vet what you own. A brown short-haired tabby. Problem solved. It’s not a lie. It’s a fact.
