Is this a bengal or a mix?

Hello, I am wondering if anyone can tell me if this is a bengal or a mix. Around 9 weeks. I am looking to adopt one and someone is claiming that this is a bengal. I don't want to pay bengal price if it isn't.

Thank you!

Do they have papers on the kitten? Looks like it is probably a marble bengal but who knows if it's a mix. Do they have the parents?

Looks like a Bengal to me BUT if you are unsure about this breeders honesty I would walk away. Research the breed and breeders and be 100% certain about the health of the kittens and their lineage.

I'm not seeing a lot of bengal in this kitten. It is so adorable, however! If you're paying good money for a bengal, then you want it to look like a bengal. Find yourself a reputable breeder who will provide you with papers that you can register the cat. I would consider a bengal mix to not be very valuable. And this kitty, although great markings, doesn't appear to be bengal markings.

I agree that if the person is asking Bengal price, then ask to see the parent and possibly papers. That shouldn't be an issue. If it is, be cautious.

Cute kitty! :)
