Post a picture of your pet

The difference between silver and non-silver is really quite distinct when you know what to look for. The advantages of being a cat show judge, I guess.

Makes me far more, erm, nerdy than your average cat person.

The Bengal here is getting more and more gobby by the day.
Is it a normal thing for this breed ?
I have resorted to training the dog to "squash a cat"

If it's a proper Bengal, they yes, they *are* very vocal and opinionated. Their voice is very distinctive.

Have to admit, I am not a fan of the breed. I do not like handling them at cat shows, either as a steward or judge, due to their jekyll-and-hyde temperament.

Hmmm

Yes he's a pain in the A

Best rodent control I've ever had mind you.
He's black but you can see the pattern in his fur that's shades of brown. Lovely cat but seriously not again 🙄

Pics please!

The patterning on Bengals can be very variable, but they shouldn't really come in solid colours as they are specifically a tabby breed - either classic, spotted or rosetted.

BTW, all cats are genetically tabby regardless of breed, just that where the colour is solid (black, blue, lilac, chocolate, cinnamon etc), the gene for Agouti (which is what gives you the tabby pattern) has been switched off. But when you look at self cats in strong sunlight, you can see the ghost markings.

For instance, Madam Lexi, who is blue & white, is a spotty tabby underneath her coat, whereas Madam Poppy, who is a black tortie, is a classic tabby.

He's an illusive creature.
Here's one but I will catch him in the sunlight when I can. He's like dark chocolate leopard print.

That's a very fine example of a black domestic shorthair. I was owned by one of those a while back. I adore black cats.

Not a Bengal, however, I'm afraid.

Pretty please! One can never have enough pics of cats... Especially kittens.

My black boy was a grumpy, shouty PITA with a penchant for terrorizing the neighbourhood dogs. I miss him.

Couldn't find kittens pics but did find this....

Aaaah, that's just *BRILLIANT*

Cats doing what cats do. Although if it were Mesdames Poppy and Lexi, there would be much swearing and growling and bottle brush tails...

Bonnie, thinking that fresh gosling might be a tasty snack if mum & dad would only stop making that honking noise for a minute!! 😂
