Artattack Bengals are cats from the cattery of the same name run by sisters Renata and Helena in New South Wales, Australia. The Bengal cat is a beautiful hybrid breed that is the result of crossing domestic felines with Asian Leopard Cats (ALCs). Such hybrids were first mentioned in 1889, but confirmation of their existence only occurred in 1934 in a Belgian scientific publication.
Asian leopard cats (Latin name felis or prioailurus bengalensis) are distantly related to leopards. They are similar in size to domestic cats although more lean. ALCs have webs between their toes and are long in the leg. Their preferred environment is in forested areas of Indonesia and the Philippines in the south, throughout the Indian subcontinent, across Indochina and the peninsula of Korea and into Russia's Far East. In China they are hunted because traditional medicine prizes their body parts, as well as for their pelts.
Keeping ALCs as pets usually requires a special license, but this does not apply to the cats that come from the breeding of ALCs with domestic cats. A Bengal kept as a pet should be four or more generations away from the wild ALC breed. The International Cat Association (TICA) currently has more than 60,000 registered Bengal cats.
TICA distinguish 5 separate colors for pedigree Bengals; sepia, mink, silver, brown and seal lynx point. Their coats can have marbling or be marked with spots. Only silver and brown Bengal cats are bred by this cattery. Archetypal attributes of the Artattack cat take in a strong but trim, long torso akin to the shape of their undomesticated forebears; outsized "mascara" lined eyes; two-colored rosettes, principally those delineated in black; natural -looking faces and petite, rounded ears.
Many Bengal cat pedigrees have bloodlines that were developed by Jean Mill or Greg and Elizabeth Kent. Artattack cats are bred from imported champion pedigree bloodlines. The cattery's priorities begin with healthiness, happiness, a gentle nature, large rosettes and contrast.
Renata and Helena consider their cats to be pets. Every cat gets plenty of affectionate and frisky attention daily. The cats spend time both in the house and in the fresh air and sunshine of the outside catteries. Artattack Bengals are provided with plenty of playthings for stimulation and socialize with all the family as well as the other pets which includes dogs.
Bengals love water and will get in the sink, bath or shower with their owners. They love to fish and will drop toys into their water bowls just for the fun of retrieving them. These cats are intelligent and quick to learn; they can be walked on leashes and love to fetch and retrieve.
Artattack Bengals have all the necessary registration papers and are health checked. All kittens are completely vaccinated, litter box educated and micro-chipped. Would-be new owners must put their names down on the waiting list and accept that a home visit might be required before they can be accepted as fitting buyers for such superior kittens. Breeders ask new owners to sign a stringent contract to safeguard these special, exceptional kittens.
