Question
Do exotic bengal cats shed heir fur?

Answer
All cats shed. Even those space-alien looking Sphinxes (which my husband thinks are really cool) shed their little fuzz. Bengals (their official name doesn't include 'exotic', though they definitely look it) are short-haired cats, and according to breed sites (you can look through tibcs. org, TICA.org and catchannel.com for starters), all you need to do to maintain and slow down shedding is a weekly brushing or rubdown (usually with a chamois or microfiber cloth). These are beautiful cats, though.
