History:
The Bengal was developed to try to meet that desire for a wild look in a safe way by crossing small wild Asian Leopard Cats and domestic shorthairs. Jean S. Mill began the Bengal breeding program in 1963, and Bengals today descend from cats bred by her in the early 1980s.
The International Cat Association recognized Bengals in 1991. The breed is not recognized by the Cat Fanciers Association.
