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.
