Guest HandleBar Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 These are the pictures a friend of mine took on Saturday in his garden in Potters Bar and it's not your average cat that you'd find digging in your flower beds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaxiDriver Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 its a Bengal by the looks of it :unsure: Our neighbour has one, very affectionate and vocal when it wants a fuss, lets you know suddenly when its had enough (it bites) Think as cats go they're fairly expensive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakeside1000 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Anyone interested the cat is a Bengali or savanna cat, cost of a kitten on todays market is around £600, very unusual to see them out and about, a breeding adult has to be worth about a grand, anyone got a net ??

Guest HandleBar Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 His wife was convinced it was a Leopard cub but we've convinced her it was a Ocelot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Seen similar round here. Allegedly a second generation leopard cross or some similar rubbish. They are obviously bred from the wild cats but several generations and some careful selective breeding I think. Stunning looking beasts, we have a 'leopard' and striped 'tiger' wandering around my bit of hove! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbin66 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 (edited) It is a brown spotted Bengal I know as I own a brown spotted Bengal and a snow marbal Bengal great cats They are a cross between a domestic shorthair cat and a Asian leopard cat Edited May 21, 2013 by dobbin66 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dobbin66 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 http://www.lustrelurebengals.co.uk/the_bengal_cat_10.html This explains it a bit more Lakeside1000 just as a pet prices start at £500 from good breeders but can be more depending on the coat pattern quality For breeding I have seen them go for £1500+ From what I remember first generation you need a wild cat licence and I think for a second generation also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Don't let that out at night the locals not that far from there have enough trouble telling the difference between normal ginger cats and foxes, that really would be a whoops if you clobbered it under the lamp. Make a good rug though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
