Cat is washing

Appearance of the Bengal

The Bengal have broad wedge-shaped heads with nice rounded contours. Their heads are a little longer than they are wide with cats having lovely high cheek bones. A Bengal’s head is small in relation to the rest of their body without it being too extreme. When seen in profile there’s a slight curve from a cat’s forehead to the bridge of their noses which are broad and large. Muzzles are full and broad with cats having a strong rounded chin and very pronounced whisker pads which adds to their overall “wild” appearance. They have thick muscular necks with mature males having quite obvious jowls.
