Bengal

Billy

The Bengal is a hybrid breed of cat, formed by the cross of a domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat. In 1963 Jean Sudgen of Yuma, Arizona purchased a female Asian Leopard cat (named Malaysia) from a pet store. Believing the cat to be lonely, she put a black domestic cat in her cage for company. The animals mated & produced two kittens, a male & a female called KinKin. Sadly, the male was fatally mauled by Malaysia but KinKin was safely removed & raised by a Himalayan queen. This mixture produced the Bengal cats.
