The Bengal cat has desirable appearance with gentle cat temperament. The females weigh from 8-12 pounds and the males weigh from 15-20 pounds. This larger breed of cat is not only a loving companion but its extremely intelligent. Most people feel they have a personality more like a dog than a cat because they are very people oriented.
