The official Bengal cat thread!

[Randolph XX()]

here i start
Lenny, born in May 3rd, 06 male
all his family are show quality, but he got two stripes which is not qualified, so the breeder decided to sell him
but i think the stripes would split into spots when he gets a lill bigger, anyone reckon?
his dad is a beutiful silver, and same as his sis
his mom is a super gorgeous rosetted brown seal lynx
hope he'll get more roseeted

btw, he is the king of the house now, even my two ferrets lose in the fights...
he is on science diet kitten, and gee, he purrs like a motorbike

Geez!!! thats a big cat I wanted a savannah cat but after some research i said that would be a bad idea and decided a bengal would be the way to go so hopefully when im done with undergrad this year ill get one.

I had a cat that was 38 pounds at one point!

I got some to share too! This isnt my cat, but I took care of her for a 2 periods of time totalling 5 days. The first time I took care of her she was 2 weeks old. I think these were her month old pics. She was born the runt of the litter, and not expected to live. She was 2 ounces at birth. As it is, she has some slight deformities; her nose looks like one-and-a half noses, and her left eye is smaller than the other and its peer deviates off from the other. Other than that, she seems to be thriving. Infact, she's 2 months old now and caught up with her brothers and sisters in size----none of them have any facial deformities.

is it normal for a bengal to get to 30+pound?
cuz i am not quite familiar with this breed, although i know cats like savannah, pixie bob, or maine coon get to 30+ pound

Yes, any cat will get 30 pounds if it has health problems or over eats.

The largest breed of domestic cat is a Ragdoll. I do not have pictures of him with me right now. Right now he is 1 year old and weights 8.6 kg (19)lbs. According to our vet he is a little over weight and needs to cut back on the kibble.

A heathly maine coon male should not exceed 18.0 pounds.

A heathly male ragdoll should not exceed 20 pounds

My cats father was 22 pounds, he was about 3.5 feet long and about 2. feet tall.

wow that Ragdoll's huge, how bog and how old is it?

 

[bugmankeith]

There was a male cat in my yard that was absolutely huge! He was twice the size of my female cat who is pretty big, but he was big in body size, not weight! He has a tooth sticking out and a bent ear, but he sure is a sight to see! He's just a plain alley cat, with nice coloration, patterm, and his massive size.

He is 19lbs, and 1 year old. He is a little over weight, the vet says that he could lose a pound, but he will not mature until he is 4 years old, His father was 22lbs at 3 years old, and his grand father was 27lbs at 4 years old.

 

[Crotalus]

Largest domestic cat breed is maine coon if Im not mistaken

 

[Randolph XX()]

It all depends wat u consider as domestic breed Lelle
like some think savannah cats are, but some do not think so, they are the largest as well

 

[Galadriel]

My Maine Coon with Andie when she was about 7 months old, I think. He was right around 25 lbs and 2 1/2 years old when this was taken.

Felis domesticus, other species are not domestic cats - they are captive wild cats

Remember we are talking avg. for the breed, not just one cat. Secondly we are talking healthy lean weight, not the lard fed cats in the "world books" but cats that are used for show. Ragdolls are the largest by about 2-3 pounds. A maine coon, is the largest on the record books, but he is not registered. We do not know what breed he really is. If your maine coon is over 18 pounds you may need to get him to a vet. He is like a 300 pound person. It may be alot of muscle or alot of fat.

But ragdolls are the largest breed by all but the CFA, which does not consider them a breed because they are america, as I understand it.
