Does my cat have Bengal in her?

[jesshikur]

My cat, one year old, Macy, has been recently adopted by me. She was randomly dropped off at a shelter and the tip of her tail had been cut off. She's has a lovely temperament, even if she is strong headed when it comes to my other cat, Marilyn. I was just curious if she had Bengal in her since her spotting is unlike any domestic shorthair i've seen. She's extremely active and isn't a huge lap cat, but definitely gives her share of headbutts. In short, when she wants attention, she demands it with adorable squeaks and assertive nudges. 

Here's a couple pictures of her

her spotting is also completely on her stomach as well.

also, I didn't mention this, but when light shines on her fur it shimmers and almost looks like she has gold in her fur

Welcome to the site

Macy is very beautiful
How horrible that someone would cut the tip of her tail off !

Now I think you might be right about her having a bit of Bengal in her. She certainly has that look about her, with her markings and head shape.

In my opinion I would say she looks like a Bengal crossed with domestic But she is very beautiful what ever she is
