After getting 3/4 Bengal kitten(she had excuses why only 3/4) from a so called established bengal breeder i fell in love with the breed. However the kitten died within 4 days of me getting her. 2 vets both said she had had the illness since bfore i got her.

After a it of pushing i got a refund but was still £200 out of pocket with vets bills. i have since found out she is still selling part bengal kits which must be out of another litter close to the one i bought so she must have several queens producing part bengals.... after what i saw and have found out since she is a bsb making a fortune seeling different breeds in both dog and cat..
Anyway after a period of quarentine i started looking around. I was lucky that a local breeder agreed to meet me and talk bengals. And of course i came home with one!

She was a 18wk queen that the breeder was intending to keep but due to a change in family circumstances (legit!) she had decided to lower her cat numbers. Now i wasn't a fan of sn sp bengals but i fell head over heels for amber. She is very well spotted and a cream with coffee spots. Mink i think its called? Green eyes.
My intention is to join a local cat club and show her if she is good enough, i have chcked her against the breed standard and think she is. I am also looking to mate her in the future and she will be my foundation cat.

I know it sounds like i have jumped in but i took a long time reading everything and making many emails.
i have joined this forum so i can ask lots silly questions!

hope i haven't bored yo and do you think the GCCF would be interested in the breeder as she does sell GCCF reg cats as well?

Well for me mink (cscb) = aqua and sepia (cbcb) = gold to green like C- cats... as said on Eriadors bengals website .

Tha aqua is the dilution between blue (cscs) and green (cbcb) as those 2 genes are codominant (while recessive compared to C of course).

The aqua tint can of course be a light green such as on this Tonkinese making the difference difficicult to spot but for sepia eyes can be green and not only gold .

Welcome to the forum, sorry to hear about your prior loss but glad to hear you finally got a Bengal to love
