a word of caution......invesitgate a breeder as you would a dog breeder. my friend bought what she thought was one of these cats for $600. and while it is an adorable cat.....tis no bengal. what it was .....the usual rip-off from a BYB of the cat world. that's a whole lotta money for a little 'usual' kitty. as with BYB dog breeders........how do they sleep at night?!
