Since we were discussing spots vs marbling on Bengals, I decided to take some new pictures of Princess Penny. They were long overdue, anyway.


Here she is today, looking out at the bird feeder - we have a couple of pairs of cardinals that come visit every day.




And some shots taken just to show her interesting marbling from both sides:




Extreme close-up on her other side (she was sitting, so it isn't a full shot.) Her marbling actually contains really elongated spots that are sort of stuck together.

Aww adorable!!!! Her fur is soo shiny too!! Is that another trait of a bengal, because I notice how most bengals look like their fur is very straight and looks really a perfect length and shine..

She's gorgeous! thanks for the new pics


ut0pia - A lot of bengals have a very shiny, silky feeling coat, it's often called 'pelted'. It's usually short but fairly thick, very plush and velvety to the touch. I don't think I've petted a softer cat than a bengal.

Penny is MUCH more velvety to the touch than Max is, but he has more glitter in his coat than she does, so it evens out.
