OUR
BENGAL CATS
Here at Rancho Poco Loco/Houseopurr (registered cattery name) we
also offer a great cat breed that Henry and Bobbie discovered
some time ago when looking for a large barn type cat. We came
across the Bengal cat breed and fell in love with this exotic
cat instantly. Although we do not show our cats like we would
like to, do to the demands of the horse ranch, our breeding is
from some of the finest cattery's in the country and we can
proudly say that we have been breeds for over a decade now.
The Bengal is a medium to large domestic feline that originates
from the crossings of the small Asian Leopard Cat to the
domestic cat in an attempt to create a companion with an
"exotic" look but a domestic temperament. After four to five
generations of Bengal to Bengal breeding, the breed is
recognized for championship competition by most international
domestic cat associations including TICA, ACFA,GCCF and AACE.
The Bengal's beautiful coat makes it stand out in a crowd.
Numerous shades make up the background color of the Bengal,
ranging from golden, rust, brown and orange, to sand, buff and
even ivory. Bengal spots also vary in color, from rust or cocoa
and chocolate to charcoal or black. Some Bengal patterns have
inherited striking rosettes or spots made up of more than one
color, usually a secondary color forming a dark outlining to the
spot.
The second Bengal pattern is called marble. This is created by
the combination of rosettes from the Asian Leopard Cat and the
domestic classic tabby pattern to produce a "marbleized" look,
one or more colors swirled into the base colors. Ideally, both
the spotted and marble patterns soul have a horizontal flow
rather than a vertical appearance. Since the original purpose
for breeding Bengal cats was to try to replicate the look of the
exotic spotted Asian Leopard Cat, the dominant spotted pattern
is most common.
The Bengal Cat has a happy, active, interactive and extremely
intelligent personality. Every domestic cat breed has its unique
features, and the exotic heritage of the Bengal cat can be seen
in their every day activities. Bengals are constantly on the
move, so buyer beware of this fun loving cat, who will be found
climbing on the highest ledges of there environment, playing in
the kitchen sink or fish bowl and talking to you about there
days activities. Bengals like many other animals demand a great
deal of attention and affection and want to be an integral part
of your family. We sure hope you will share your excitement for
this breed as we do at Rancho Poco Loco/Houseopurr.
This is just a sampling of the quality we have to offer.
