Bella.jpgHello, my name is Gigi and I live in Texas. I am glad to find a forum that is so dedicated to felines, specially the beautiful Bengals. Bella has been home with us for a week. It's gonna be a week tomorrow. She was found and brought to us last Tuesday Nov. 6th. We were to take her to a shelter but we fell in love with her, have an appointment with the vet in two days for shots and regular exams, but we have adopted her as part of our family already. We have an olde cat Camilo and at first Cam was having issues with her but now they get along well. Bella is sort of hyper but I assume she is that way because she is a baby.

To make this story short, a friend of mind told me over the weekend that he thought she was a cross between a Bengal and a snowshoe siamese, I love kitties but I've always had tabbies (long haired or short hair or Moggies as they are known as well.) I think Bella is a tabby as well, but I just want someone to take a look at her and sort of let me know what they think. My friend owns three Siamese cats and he swears she has some Siamese but he thinks she has a tad bit of Bengal too. Could this be possible?

Funny thing is he asked me if I had papers for her or if I knew something about her pedigree but I had to tell him she was found astray, and lost. Her momma was ran over by a car and so were her other three siblings, I was told Bella was the sole survivor of that horrible incident. Bella is very happy, playful and loving. I really love her, never would have worried about her breed, is just that my friend told me to investigate because it would help me in taking care of her properly.

I have attached a few pictures. Bella is the baby, Cami is the orangino, he is quite the character as well and I love him to pieces

I hope to get some input, I really would appreciate it! Thank you in advanced!

aw what a awful start to life she's had and well done to you for looking after her and offering her a great home.
Her features do suggest that she could have some breed mix, the white paws are a massive giveaway that she is a mix - my half bengal boasts white back toes!

what cuties, hi and welcome

Hello! Thank you so much for replying! I apprecciate the comments very much! Bella is loved and I will probably ask my Vet more about her when we check in on Thursday. I don't think she is Bengal either, but had a curiosity and realized that this site has quite a few experts on the subject. I think Bella might be a mix of something, she is about a month old so we'll see as she grows what she ends up looking like. She is a cutie patootie indeed. Thank you again for the warm welcome!

Its really hard to tell what a kitten has in it especially at such a young age. She is beautiful I adore her facial markings!!!! Hang around we love pics of adorable kittens and there is always tons of info on here that is helpful! Congrats on your new baby!

She is lovely! Glad she found nice home to live!

Thank you! We are heading to the Vet this morning Milo my 5 year old Orange Tabby is really being inspirational to me. He's actually adopted her and they are very inseparable now, she sleeps on his furry tummy and they are like two peas in a pod. Thank God! I was worried that he wouldn't like her, it took a few days for him to adjust and I think Bella is glad that he is there for her. We do hold her a lot as well, she still cries and you can tell that she misses her Mommy because she is little. Hopefully the Vet can give me some good advise on how to make her feel more comfortable and at ease with us all.

I woke up and found them cuddling on the couch this morning. I really love them both and I am overjoyed!

Have a nice days and thanks again for the warm welcome and insight!

But also after being on here and seeing all these beautiful Bengals I've decided to adopt one in a very near future. I will start contacting Breeders in my area to start looking, I always said three kitties was my Max. I think Cami and Bella will be happy with a third brother or sister Happy Day to everyone!

YAY!!! Congrats on your decision! Bengals are great I will never have anythin but a Bengal, I am glad you decided to get your little one a friend you will have loads of entertainment for sure!!!
