Weekly brushing is usually enough to remove dead hair and maintain the silky coat. Bathing is generally not needed unless for showing. Nails should be trimmed regularly.<\/p>\n<h1>Nutrition<\/h1>\n<p>A high-quality diet with balanced nutrients is recommended. Bengals benefit from measured feeding and fresh water at all times. Because of their activity and muscle mass they may do well with diets supporting protein intake, digestion, skin and coat health, and oral hygiene.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t<div id=\"gap-618283350\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-618283350 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"gap-535533460\" class=\"gap-element clearfix\" style=\"display:block; height:auto;\">\n\t\t\n<style>\n#gap-535533460 {\n  padding-top: 30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-676257829\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1962431541\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t<div class=\"img has-hover x md-x lg-x y md-y lg-y\" id=\"image_1620682935\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"img-inner image-cover dark\" style=\"padding-top:100%;\">\n\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"918\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-918x800.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-918x800.jpg 918w, https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-459x400.jpg 459w, https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-768x669.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-1536x1339.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vets.com.hk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/pexels-jerry-2334361-16761426-2048x1785.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 918px) 100vw, 918px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#image_1620682935 {\n  width: 100%;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-471635634\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<h1>Breed Standard<\/h1>\n<p>The breed standard describes a medium to large sleek muscular cat with substantial boning, slightly higher hindquarters, thick tail with rounded tip, broad modified wedge head, large expressive eyes, wide nose, prominent whisker pads, and a close-lying soft luxurious coat with high-contrast rosetted or marbled pattern.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<h4>Did you know?<\/h4>\n<p>Bengals are the only domestic cat breed especially noted for dramatic rosettes.
