No offense, but why breed her then? I thought Bengals were supposed to
be large.

Not terribly large. Females for one tend to be small - in fact, a large
female is about the size of a regular housecat.


I must be thinking of those other cats - the ones that are a cross
between domestic cats and bobcats.

As for breeding, it was simply becaue she's had a previous history of
being a good mom. We ourselves have had two successful litters with her,
and her previous human had a couple with her as well.

Are good mama cats hard to come by? I don't know much about breeding or
showing cats. With so many strays in the shelters, I'd feel like a ****
for getting a purebred myself, especially since I'm not passionate about
any one breed. I probably could never adopt a kitten again, either,
knowing how many people prefer kittens and seeing so many nice adults
just sitting in the shelter for months while the kittens get homes
really fast.
You do make your buyers sign a contract, right? So your babies don't get
dumped? I've even seen purebreds in the shelter. So sad.
