The white Bengal cat was artificially bred. Therefore, with natural breeding of such animals, problems can arise. Even pedigree kittens are guaranteed not to be blonde. However, in the future, the corresponding gene will still appear. Snow Bengal has a snow-white coat with clear marks and spots. The eyes are the same blue as those of Siamese cats. The body is rather muscular, with a broad back and a very long neck. The head is wedge-shaped and the short ears are set high. They are rounded.

In kittens, it is much longer, in addition, some of them are born albinos, but spots appear on the body over time. These beauties weigh from 6 to 11 kilograms. But the weight of females is slightly less, from 4 to 8 kilograms.

All snow-white Bengals are very similar and beautiful in their own way, however, they differ in genotype.

These beauties were born as a result of crossing Bengal breeds with Siamese cat breeds. Their body is completely white with small beige markings called points. The difference between the background and the pictures is almost imperceptible, however? the spots are quite pronounced.

This cat breed has blue eyes, which, when flashed, take on a ruby ​​hue. Lynx point babies are born almost white and remain the same for a long time. Only after 75 days can you see weak manifestations of spots, however, only after a year the pattern will already be quite noticeable. In links, not only are the tip of the tail and nose tinged brown, but also the pads and rims of the eyes.

This type of cat appeared as a result of crossing Bengals and Burmans. Sepia are considered the darkest among the snowy Bengals. Their body is not entirely white, rather creamy. The coat is "decorated" with bright cinnamon-colored specks. In those sepias that are solid, the difference between the body and the spots is completely indistinguishable. Just like links, the tip of the tail and other parts of the body are brown in color.

Having chosen a snow-white blue-eyed beautiful pet for himself, he needs to provide appropriate care. And although they are completely unpretentious, you will still need to look after them, especially if it is a small kitten. Having brought the baby into the house, you do not need to hold him constantly in your arms or play with him. He just needs to be left alone and allowed to get used to the new environment. If there are several rooms in a house or apartment, then you need to limit yourself to only one, so that the kitten begins to gradually get used to it.

In this room, it is imperative to put a tray with filler, an iron or plastic bowl, and also prepare a sleeping place for it. You need to start teaching it to the toilet from the very first days, otherwise the kitten will mark all the places. You don’t need to shout at him, you need to speak calmly so that he understands and is not afraid. In addition, the tray should be located away from the resting place. If the cat does not go to the litter box, but to another place, then his toilet must be moved there.

These cats are cleanliness. They won't go to a stale litter box. Therefore, you need to change it often. It is best to buy a filler that will hide all unpleasant odors. The "marked" place can be treated with vinegar or some special agent.

The sleeping place is placed in the corner, but most often the kitten chooses it himself. Many Bengals sleep with their owners or on batteries. Do not scold them for this behavior. They must be treated with affection and tenderness, only in this case they will reciprocate. Otherwise, the kitten will grow up to be very aggressive and pugnacious. You need to talk to them so that they feel cared for. Besides, it is necessary to remove all objects that can harm the kitten.

Snow Bengals should definitely receive proper care.... Despite the fact that their fur is very short, they need to be combed at least once a week... To do this, you need to use a comb with blunt teeth, so as not to harm. A couple of times a month it is necessary to trim the claws of the snow bengals. If the owner cannot do it himself, then a specialist should do it.

In addition, you should definitely buy special toys for your pets. This can be done at pet stores or veterinary pharmacies. Keep in mind that pets need frequent bathing.

By the way, Bengals love to splash in the water. Since they are very mobile and energetic, their energy must be directed in the right direction. It is very good if the owners live in a private house.

This will immediately grab the animals' attention. However, cats of this breed are very fond of swimming, so they can even playfully turn a bowl of water over.

For those who decide to feed their pets only natural products, you need to familiarize yourself with their diet. It must include meat. It can be boiled beef, rabbit or chicken.
