Hi everyone! My name is Danielle and about a year and a half ago my BF and I adopted (what we believe) is a Bengal Mix we've named Archer (Sterling Mallory Archer for all those fans out there). We adopted him from the shelter and he was about 6mos old at the time. They listed him as a DSH but we're pretty convinced from him coloring and attitude that he's definitely got some bengal in there somewhere.

He's VERY active for a normal cat. He loves to play and we've taught him to play fetch. He's constantly chasing his toys and playing with the dog. I've never met a cat as active as him before, even an adolescent. He's currently learning to walk on the leash and LOVES to be outside once he can get over the feel of the harness. He's only about 8-10lbs but is VERY long and lean for his size. He's incredibly athletic and loves to jump. His coat also has a much sleeker and shinier feel to it than most cats I've met.

I've attached some pictures of my handsome boy. Any guesses if we're right on thinking bengal mix? Please forgive the less than stellar photos. He's hard to get because he never stays still.

Hi Danielle. Welcome to the forum. Archer is beautiful! Certainly looks like there could be some bengal in him.

Hi, and welcome, having some bengal in his blood is certainly a possibility, he's certainly a very striking looking cat.

Thank you both! He's my first cat but thankfully my BF has lots of cat experiences. So far, aside from being very active, he's been a great cat. I look forward to learning a lot here.

He's quite handsome. Welcome to the forum.

I love his name! My husband wanted to name our boy Babou after Chery's Ocelot !
