According to one Site I found they are more like domestic cats than

those of
their wild cousins. Of course all cats are wild as they are predators

and
also have natural hunting instincts. While humans may call them

domesticated
because they live amongst humans you can also look at them and say

they are
intelligent and beautiful creatures which have many of the instincts

that
cats in the wild do.



Would you consider the Bengals to be somewhat analogous to the wolf x
dog hybridization popular among some canine enthusiasts?

My (probably naive) impression is that the wolf-hybrids are far more
wolf-like than the Bengals are "Leapard"-like.
