SOOOO many beautiful, stunning marbles on this thread!! I had to add Aya here.. our beautiful 4month old silver/black sheeted marble. I am curious how much her coat will open up, and how her color will develop. She does have some brown on the stripes down her back, a little on her face and paws and now the black on her sides is showing some brown hairs... her solid black is becoming less so, although I imagine that she will remain mainly black.

She has such a pretty face and I love her chest/leg markings.

All of your pics are gorgeous, Samadhi- but I think your sig is the absolute best:



I love this pic!

I've always been more of a fan of the rosetted Bengals, but I have to say after viewing this thread I'm starting to become a marble-lover as well! Some of these cats just have the most amazing patterns and colors, it's crazy! I wouldn't rule out getting a marble some time in the future, they are very beautiful. Thanks for sharing all the pictures, everyone.

I am still partial to spotted, but those marbles ppl posted are beautiful!! I happened to get my boy when 2 snows weren't selling. One spotted and one marbled. The spotted one was like a cat on crack...10x more crazy than rowan (my brown spotted) so I figured the marbled suited me better since Rowan was already a handful, esp as a kitten. I am told he doesn't have a desirable marbled coat because he is very couldy looking, but I don't show him or anything so I am okay with his pattern. Guess it's why I got a good price for him. His coat is really soft though-also shiny and glittery. I hope he gets darker, I am told snows usually do so I am excited to see how he will look as an adult.

2bengalboys: That's actually a really gorgeous looking snow marble.

Here are some more of Toastbutt:

Well thank you. I am still new to what bengal standards are so I dunno I guess. Toast is handsome!! Gosh I can just tell he is super soft. He coat is full of color. What food do you feed them?

Well I'm not sure about show standards for marbles but as far as I can see he has a great flowy pattern and is just nice to look at!

And thank you! He has the silkiest coat, it's unreal! I feed them both raw.

I hope no one minds that I brought this old thread back up. My kitten's Mother is just too beautiful not to share. She's a Seal Mink Marble.

i dont mind at all. Sometimes a thread needs a good bump.

My marbled boy now 11 months

He is so handsome! I hope my new marble boy is a stunner like him.

I love this one of my boy Merlin - He's a 12.5 year old F4 bred by Corsican Bengals.


And this is quite good for his pattern



And his lovely glittery / shiny coat



I just love marbles - and of course Melanistics (Marmite!)
