Bengali mix kitten

Question
Hi there,

I have a quick question regarding a new kitten we have just bought- his mum was a tabby and his dad was apparently a big bengali cat- I was wondering whether he was likely to follow the bengali characteristics or if there's anything to look out for?

Answer
Hi Rob

How did you know the father was a bengal?
Usually domestic kittens do tend to follow the behaviour pattern of their mother as they spend all of their growing with the mother. In the wild both parents would be close to the kittens so behaviour would be different.

I hope this helps

Regards

Ray
