Seal Lynx Point Bengal

Is there such a thing as Seal Lynx Point Bengal? I just saw one of Petfinder....looks nothing like a Bengal...a few spots, but definately seal point. Just thought I'd ask you guys!

I don't know - but can you give us the link so we can see, please?

Sorry! I swear I put the link there....

Here it is!(I think)

No WAY that cat is a Bengal!

That was my thoughts exactly! Unfortunately...she was a kitty mill cat. Gosh....I can't imagine people payed big $$ for "Bengal" kittens!

Yes, there are seal lynx point bengals. They are the only bengals with blue eyes.

The bengal pictured in the link is not top quality for sure, but is none the less a bengal. Im thinking the red glow to the eyes from the flash indicates blue eyes.

Here's a link to a page that shows High quality Lynx Point, and Seal lynx point Bengal.

There are really pointed Bengals!?!? That totally throws me! I learned something today.

The key to identifying the "snow bengals", officially known as the seal, is to look at the eye color.

Seal Mink is green

Seal Lynx Pt. is blue

Seal Sepia is gold/yellow

Nial, I just cannot believe that this is a Bengal cat. Maybe a mix...but you're the breeder.

And I have red eye pictures, and my cats have gold and green eyes, so I don't think red eye = blue eyes.

Oh I'll never understand this all!

OK, well, this is the link I really meant to post. I didn't realize that I had only posted pics. Sorry. Today is just not going well for me.

That is her actual Petfinder page that says she has blue eyes. Also tells her sad story.

hmm that looked like a siamese mix to me and the red does happen with flash with cats that have blue eyes, my tessa has blue eyes and she is the only one who gets red eyes and i like it because when i print the pics up it takes out the red eye

Betsy, lol....I know the cat doesn't look much like the bengals you've come to know, but I assure you, it most probably is a pure bengal.
Only a DNA test would say for sure.........

The eyes look blue to me around the edges of the pupil. I am probably mistaken about red-eye from flash meaning blue eyes. Thought I heard that somewhere. My green eyed bengals pupils glow green or blue from the flash.

The seal lynx point bengals usually have poor contrast between their back ground color and their spots. If it's a poorly bred bengal and the background color becomes dark, the wash out low contrast effect is even worse, especially as the cat ages.
I believe this is the case with this cat.

Here's a link to a seal lynx point cat of my breeding. She is a pet now, sold as a kitten.
You can see that although her background color is the desirable ivory, her spots don't have that pop that bengals are known for. It is a normal thing with the lynx points.

No, it is a bengal. Siamese should not have stripes or spots. This cat has spots.

I have def learned something new today on the coloring. I had no idea there was a Melanistic-Solid black Bengal either. Everyday i learn something new here

I saw you're thread, too! Bengals sure come in a variety of colors. I guess I always think of the typical brown/black bengal.

ok it does look like a siamese a little bit, but after looking at the picture again 3 times lol the nose looks bengal idk wat it is but for some reason i love bengal noses

Wow, they're definitely the same, but oh so different! Poor kitty, she deserves a good life now, I hope she finds a good home.

And Nial - I love the pic of Takoda on that page showing his "racing stripes" and glitery paws - so beautiful!
