For those of you that have never seen glitter on a bengal-it is amazing. I can't explain how beautiful it is. It actually glitters like gold in the bright sunlight! It is very difficult to get pictures of because of the way light refelects off of the glitter, however I did the best I could. These pictures were not edited, the shiny spots are the glitter. It is actually way more spetacular in real life but I just wanted to give you all an idea of what it looks like.







and below is a pic of the kitty it came from:

Yes, Simba has glitter. I remember the first time I saw him in the direct sunlight, I was so thrilled.

.....................its a recessive gene...my tabby has it as well...which means there is bengal type blood in there somewhere.

actaully, no I dont think they do- I have read that the glitter gene did not come from the asian leopard cat. It is believed that the first tom that bred with an asian leopard cats (just a stray black tom cat that someone put in with an asian leopard cat to keep it company) carried the glitter and so really it came from a domestic! The funny thing is that the only domestic to actually have glitter is the bengal and other breeds that have been crossed with bengals
