Domesticated Bengals meant to be pets are at least four generations (F4) removed from their ancestor Leopard Cat. F1 is the most exotic and closest to the Leopard Cat. An F1 can be very wild and exotic and may not be the right cat for the average person to own. They are a lot more work to take care of and have a lot of characteristics of the Asian Leopard. Most common for pets and Breeders are F4's and F5's. They have a wild look similar to the Asian Leopard but don't have the wild instincts of the Asian Leopard, making it the perfect pet for a individual or a family. Do your research before purchasing a Bengal, and understand the different types and features for your Bengal Cat. Talk to an experienced Breeder and make sure the cat would be perfect for you. Overall a Bengal is a great Cat to own and has a very exotic look.
