Hey guys, how is it going? My friend's Bengal cat had kittens 5 months ago. Recently I came over and saw the beauty of these animals, and asked him if I could adopt one. The cat he is going to give me is a 5 month old male. He is already bigger than his mom (who is on the petite side), but his head is kind of small. He has a feminine face, which is smaller than the rest of his body. Is this common amongst rapidly growing Bengals? Not for nothing, but adopting a Bengal or animal is a huge responsibilty, and I want to make sure that he is going to have a masculine, large face like his father (who he supposedly takes after).

What do you guys and gals think? Do male Bengal cat's faces usually fill in when they get older or at 5 months am I going to have a male Bengal cat with a big body and a petite, fragile face? Thank you for your time.

Hi,

Firstly, welcome to the forums...

Now I'm sure one of our expert breeders will be along to correct me if i'm wrong....but I think that a small (ish) head is a desirable trait in the Bengal breed - certainly if you look at an Asian Leopard Cat, their heads are quite small - so this is a good thing if you want a "good quality" Bengal...
