The Bengal and the water
goes together

Sometimes, there would appear
in some of the litters white kittens, with blue eyes, that would develop
varying degrees of spotting as they grow older. This was the first type
of Snow Bengal and is known as the “Seal lynxpoint Snow Bengal”. This type
of Snow Bengal has the Siamese genepool; hence the blue eyes and
talkative, social nature.

About a decade later, in the late 1980’s, two Bengal breeders, Gene
Johnson and Bob Dundon began breeding for a different type of Snow Bengal,
introducing the Burmese domestic cat genepool, and thus began the “seal
mink snows” and the “seal sepia snows”.

A “seal mink snow” Bengal is
usually a green-eyed snow Bengal, born light beige in color, with the markings
developing to be a medium brown color.
A “seal sepia snow” Bengal is usually gold to green eyed, and born
medium to dark brown in color, with the markings developing to be even
darker.
The Snow Bengals of all these
types can be spotted or marbled in pattern.
