Cashmere or long haired Bengals

Hey everyone,

Don't worry I'm not looking for a new kitten my two little munchkins are keeping my hands pretty full currently. I was wondering when I was taking to Griff and Arya's breeder the other day I asked if she'd ever bred a Cashmere Bengal. She said she hadn't and she's been breeding them since 1999 although she's bred a melanistic, blues, sepia and this really pretty seal mink sheated marble boy who looked almost Toritie with how his markings where in places (really pretty kitty) amoungst other different colours which just showed up when she was breeding for silvers, I'm not sure if she has thrown any smokes or charcoals I forgot to ask.

Anyway it got me thinking has anyone on the forum got a cashmere Bengal? Or know of anyone who's trying to breed them? In the future and I mean distant future I wouldn't mind a silver snow cashmere basically a longcoated version of my Griffith.

There are several breeders of Cashmere Bengals. TowanReef in Scotland is one. http://towanreefbengals.com

In my surfing for F-generations, I've encountered a lot of websites. I just can't recall many of them. A quick Google search will point you in the right direction.

Glad your little ones are settling in.

Welcome to the forum. Posting pictures is easy. Scroll down past your posting box to the green bar that says "upload attachment." Hit "Choose file." Find the picture on your computer. Click "add the file". As long as the picture is under 256k, it will upload and appear in your post. Another way to do it is to have a public photo sharing website and just post a link for us to click on. Would love to see your fur babies.

I think people get the impression a long-haired or cashmere Bengal has long hair like the Norwegian Forest or Persian cats and that is not the case. The fur is just slightly longer than a normal bengal.

Yes they are so soft and cuddly. I had a normal Bengal before this little guy is super cute

Really gorgeous cat haha you may have just made me want a cashmere more. I've always really liked Somali's and Cashmere's are similar coat length wise. I've had friends with Persians and ragdolls and I honestly couldn't cope with that much fur but cashmere's seem quite manageable.

It's nice that people are finally starting to try and standardise them and create their own breed, which also should make it easier for me to get one in the future hehe.

Thank you for posting photos
