bengal cat help

[temerist]

Im pretty sure you cant, but does anyone know if you can get a ginger bengal? Looking for a bengal and seen some "pure bengals" ginger for £95

Not that I know of - don't think they'd be selling for £95 if you could get ginner ones.

I doubt they are bengals either! I've just been looking on a proper bangal breeder's site and they suggest that if you are offered a bengal for £200 then it's going to be a very poor example of the breed.

I would be very suspicious of anyone selling a full bengal (or any pedigree kitten) for that price!

It doesn't look much like a bengal to me. Maybe they think any spotted kitten can be described as a Bengal!

The Ginger gene is referred to as 'red' in cats and you can get red spotted bengals, but they don't look like 'normal' ginger cats!! This looks like a normal ginger spotted kitten to me - except, unless the colour isn't properly reflected in the photograph, it isn't even a red, it's a cream to me!

that kitten is as pure a bengal as i am.

typical gumtree scammer tbh, i`m amazed they arnt "for adoption" etc

[freekygeeky]

i think its just a normal ginger tom

I find it really hard to tell the difference between a tabby moggie and a striped Bengal. I think my cat (rescue moggie) looks like a Bengal. I keep looking at pictures of them and trying to established in my mind the characteristics but its just not happening.
My cat Mido is huge, carries his tail low, has a spotty belly, large feet, but he's just a moggie - all be it a very handsome one.

You can get spotted cats in loads of different breeds - Persians, British Short Hairs, Egyption Maus, Ocicats and Orientals and of course in non-pedigrees too, but that doesn't make them bengals.

Cat breeds baffle me. My other cats litter sister is a siamese but mine is a black oriental. I've never understood how they are different breeds - Dog classification is so much easier to get yer head round.
