Hi all,

Please see my four precious kitties! I was wondering if any of you would be able to help me in determining what their pattern and color would be called. Unfortunately their breeder failed to mention this in their passport.. I've been reading up on different colors and patterns and found this website http://www.kingsmarkfarms.com/bengals/kingpattern.htm. But still having trouble. Are any of you maybe 'experts' on this subject?

This is Dalí, - five month old female:

This is Tigo, her big bro:

And these are my other kitties, non specific race. But I don't mind, I'm no racist !
Niña, 11 yr old female:

And Joey, 9 yr old male:

Somehow Tigo really looks for his attention, but Joey doesn't really appreciate Tigo... yet

Anyway, hope you like this pictures and can help me with my question!

Bye!

First of all, I loved the Kingsmark website, but the coloring can get super confusing. Basically, bengals are rosetted, marbled or spotted! Plain and simple. I break them down into two colors "warm" and "cool." (Unless they are snows or silvers). You can try to compare your kitties with the patterns they show and it can be confusing. Charcoals and melanistics are obvious. But if you have a rosettes or marbled standard bengal -- that's pretty much it.

Ironically, based on the pictures, I think Dali and Tigo fall in between warm and cool pelted rosetted bengals. Your other babies are gorgeous. I love black and white kitties!!!
