There are no pure bengals. Every bengal has other cats mixed in with their pedigree. Ocicats, Egyptian Maus, Abyssinian, Burmese, Siamese. Bristol, American Shorthairs. I see bengal in your pictures! It used to be that people, including me, would be hesitant to even say "this cat is a bengal" because we all thought it had to be 100% bengal. After talking with several breeders (and remembering my bengal's pedigree of thousands of cats), there simply are no purebred bengals unless you have an early generation that was bred bengal to bengal. When you get into the F6s and higher, there are a lot of non-bengals in the mix.
I see rosettes, I see a ringed tail. If you don't know the parents of the cat, you don't know for sure, but I see bengal in there. Gorgeous kitty.
