The Bengal cat (Felis catus × Prionailurus bengalensis) genome is derived from hybridization between domestic cats and wild Asian leopard cats which results in significant wild genetic contributions that can vary. Bengal cats often possess a high content of wild heritage but their degree of wildness cannot be generalized and depends on breeding lineage, with some lines more heavily interbred with domestic cats to moderate wild traits. It's recommended to research reputable Bengal cat breeders prior to adoption to gain insights into breeding details and specific characteristics of available Bengal cats.
