Bengal's were created to look like the Asian leopard, with a domestic cats behavior. they are created by breeding small wild cats with regular domestic cats.

sorry for starting off with a bang so to speak :P

i love the bengal species personally, just trying to state some facts about breeding.

I know there origin i have 2 of them.

They are origianally alc x domestic shorthair both are cats and the same SPECIES as you call it, both FELINE.

get your facts right before you state them.

and welcome to the forum

There are so many people advertising persians on preloved etc.. and they are quite clearly not persians but cross breeds!!

Have stumbled across a few of the Persian x Ragdoll as well and i just dont get it - surely you have a persian because of its looks and temperament etc and the same for a Ragdoll?? Why cross the two? they have their own personalities without mixing it up elsewhere

*counts to 10 and sits back..*

Sorry for the rant!!

grrr backyard breeders bug me. we have an add on the board at work for siamese crosses. the add reads... litter trained, fleaed, wormed (not vaccinated!!) and they want £50 for them!!! they are basically moggies!!!!! for £50 with no vaccs. they must be high... they prolly fleaed them with bob martins too... mad:


i know some cross breeding can be good for the breed and i know some are due to research on breeds and making 'heathier' cats... i mean we wouldn't have the Ocicat, Bengal, and many others if it wasn't for some cross breeding. but now there are Cheetohs(bengalxocicats) and toygers(bengalxDSH) meh i donno... where do you draw the line?

Thats what I was wondering really.. I know the Ragdoll in particular is most famous for his/her personality.. that is the reason I chose this breed.

So I just dont know why people would cross them, because without that personality they arn't really a true Raggie!

Just came across this £300 birman x ragdoll

Ragdoll X Birman in Gillingham, Kent ( Cats For Sale )

2 adds down Gccf reg ragdolls £300, i know which id go for

lol madness isnt it

Absolutely! A Persian is a Persian and a Raggie is a Raggie! Two amazing breeds of cat and i cant understand why people want to cross the two?
