These spectacular coats are what set them far miles ahead of others in terms of rankings amongst their feline family.

2. Highly classified

Like Savannahs and other hybrid species of her kind, Bengals are highly classified and categorized by how many generations they are bred from (their wild pet parents). The Asian Leopards, which are considered the origins of Bengal cats have their kitten called an F1, and every generation to follow then gets to have numerical numbers designated to them, such as F2, F3, F4, and so on. For a Bengal to be considered a descendant and a real domestic cat mean he/she must be at least closer to an F4.
