The Bengal Cat is a domesticated cat crossed with an Asian Leopard Cat.  Although, most bengal cats are fully domesticated, with the wild cat many generations back, they have retained their wild look and higher energy levels from their wild ancestors.  The bengal cat tends to be a very social and interactive pet.  They are very playful, mischievous, and social compared to your typical domesticated house cat.  Just like any other animal, each bengal cat has their own unique and individual personalities and temperaments, but most tend to bond closely to their family and love being with them all the time.  Bengal cats typically get along well with other cats and dogs if socialized properly.  Bengal cats can often trained to walk on a leash, travel, and be an active part of the family.  Bengal cats also have a very soft pelt coat making them more hypoallergenic to most people with the typical cat allergies. They also shed very minimally compared to a typical house cat.
