Bengal Cat

Bengal Cat

Hypoallergenic / Non-Hypoallergenic

Non-Hypoallergenic

The Bengal Cat is not fully hypoallergenic, so it may not be ideal for people with strong cat allergies. However, because of its short coat and lower shedding, some allergy-sensitive homes may find it easier to manage than long-haired cats.

Hair Shedding

Low Shedding

Bengal Cats have a short, sleek coat with low shedding. Regular brushing helps keep their coat glossy, clean, and easy to maintain.

Diet & Lifespan

Lifespan:

Male: 12–15 years

Female: 13–16 years

Diet:

Bengal Cats are active and muscular, so they need a high-protein diet that supports energy, lean muscle, and coat health. Cats are natural carnivores, so their diet should include proper animal-based protein and taurine. Fresh water should always be available, especially in Indian weather.

Size & Weight

Size: Medium to large cat

Male: 10–15 lbs | Female: 8–12 lbs

Climatic Condition Requirement

Bengal Cats have a short coat and can adjust well to Indian indoor living when kept in a comfortable environment.

They do well in a shaded, well-ventilated home with access to fresh water. They should be protected from harsh direct sunlight during peak summer, but they usually do not need constant AC if the room stays airy and cool.

Behaviour Specification

Bengal Cats are active, intelligent, curious, playful, and highly energetic. They are not lazy sofa cats; they love climbing, jumping, exploring, and interacting with their family.

They need toys, scratching posts, climbing space, and daily playtime. They can be affectionate, but they also have an independent and adventurous personality.

The DNA
