Anyone looking for an exotic cat can really do nothing wrong looking up one of many reputable Bengal cat breeders. This breed is known for being affectionate, exciting and extremely well behaved. Back in the mid-1960′s the first Bengal was bred, in an effort to preserve the beauty of the terribly endangered Asian Leopard Cat, while giving it domesticated qualities to make for wonderful-looking pets. The domesticated varieties that are cross-bred with the Bengal are: Abyssinians, Burmese, Egyptian Maus, American Shorthairs and sometimes Siamese.
