OUR BENGAL CATS AND US
Our Bengal cats and kittens are kept indoors and interact with our family constantly. This allows us to enhance their very playful, outgoing, intelligent and very affectionate personality. Bengal cats have a fascination with water and ours love nothing better than to sit on our shoulders and try to paw the water when we're doing the dishes or come into the bathroom to try to get into the shower with us.All of our queens have American bloodlines and our two older girls have done very well at cat shows. Alley (our marble Bengal) has often had her markings described by judges as "striking" and she finished second at the 2007 Royal Melbourne Show (Best Kittens group). As the Royal Melbourne was only her second ever show, nerves got the better of her and this downgraded her from first to second. She is a very outgoing, playful and talkative Bengal.
Keisha (our spotted Bengal) has a fantastic wild cat look about her and has the highly desired Leopard spots over her body. Again, judges at cat shows often comment on her impressive and remarkable spots. This beautiful Bengal cat also has a very affectionate and loving personality.
Our third queen is a kitten from our last litter (Ankita Sunshine) and is clearly a show quality Bengal. She'll be at cat shows shortly and we're looking forward to getting her titled.
When we chose our two Bengals kittens originally (Alley and Keisha), we went through a reputable Bengal breeder in Victoria who breeds cats for their nature, temperament and personality. We will be using the same Bengal breeder to breed back to our girls, as this will help us ensure that we get the best quality Bengal kittens in all possible ways. We have kept Sunshine as she has a beautiful nature and will no doubt enhance what we are trying to produce with our Bengal kittens.
Our Bengal cats are fed chicken and beef (with tuna thrown in occasionally) at least once a day. Feeding meat to ALL cats is important; they are not designed to eat a lot of grains and unfortunately most dry foods contain grains as their main ingredient. When feeding them dry foods, we feed them "Advance"; the main ingredient in the Advance products we use is chicken. When fed the right food, the difference in the cat's health is remarkable and the coat is visibly shinier (indicating a healthy cat).
We strictly follow the Feline Control Council's (Victoria) guidelines when breeding Bengal kittens, which states that Bengal cats should not breed more than twice a year; this is for their own well-being and we happily comply with this.
If you are interested in a Bengal kitten or would like to see what a Bengal cat is like around the house, we are happy to be contacted to arrange a time for you to have a look (our contact details can be found at Ankita Bengals Home. They are not like any cat you have owned before and their antics and intelligence make them a joy to own.
