Toby is strikingly handsome! All bengals have tabby in them as that is how the breed was started! Bengals have either rosettes or marbling. Toby appears to have marbeling. Bengal faces are very similar to tabby faces. Bengals do have their own characteristics. The problem we have are with backyard breeders who advertise bengals who are not bengals. A purebred bengal will come with registration papers and a pedigree. People like to use the word "bengal cross" as if it actually means something. Unless you were to have seen the parents and one was a purebred bengal, than you really don't know if Toby has any bengal in him. He may, but there is no way to know for sure. He's just gorgeous, so enjoy him for the kitty he is!
