Gaylee Bengals UK breeders of rosetted Bengal cats.  Welcome to Gayleebengals; breeders of rosetted, golden glittered pelted Bengals, Snows and sparkling Silver Bengal cats with markings stolen from the wild, and bred for  loving temperaments.  I have been a breeder of cats for 19 years and a breeder of Bengals  since 1991.  I was the first UK Bengal breeder to win Championship status in the UK and the EEC.
Bengal breeding is my hobby and passion, I am not a commercial breeder.

Please read 'About Us' for information about us,  the Bengals we are breeding, and our achievements.

Brief History of the Bengal breed:  Jean Mill (Millwood) in the USA founded the Bengal breed in 1975 by crossing a Asian Leopard caA Gaylee rosetted  Bengal kitten of 3 weekst (a small Leopard cat weighing around 8 to 10lbs and extremely shy) to a domestic cat.  Jean met a lot of opposition along the way but persevered to get the Bengal breed started. The early generations, variant Bengals had 'F' (foundation) numbers denoting the generation from the wild or from an outcross, e.g. the first kittens out of a mating between an ALC and a domestic cat were F1 Bengal hybrids.  These kittens then had to be mated with other domestic breeds to prevent in-breeding and the result was F2 Bengal hybrids etc.  It is not until they are F4 hybrids from the wild and/or from an outcross, and there are three generations of Bengal to Bengal breeding, that they are true Bengals. 

Bengals have always been bred to retain the look of their wild ancestors combined with the temperament of loving family pets. 

Sparkling silver bengal catBengals need no extra care and should be treated the same way as any other domestic cat.

Characteristics: Bengal cats are extremely intelligent and learn quickly how to open doors, retrieve toys, attack toilet rolls and take the ham out of sandwiches!  They are truly beautiful; with soft pelts sparkling with golden glitter, and two tone rosetting like the wild cats. 
There are 8 types of Bengal;-
Brown/Black spotted/rosetted
Brown/Gold Marble (tri-coloured)Gaylee rosetted bengal kitten who achieved a Supreme title
Blue-eyed Snow spotted/rosetted (from the Siamese gene)
Blue-eyed Snow Marble
AOC (any other colour eyed) Snow Spotted/rosetted (from the Siamese and/or the Burmese gene)
AOC Snow Marble
Silver spotted
Silver Marble
The registering body TICA goes further and separates the Snow into 3 categories;
blue eyed snows (Seal Lynx point), Mink and Sepia.

Bengals are affectionate and attach very much like dogs do to their owners.  Unlike most cats Bengals love water, and enjoy drinking fr
om a dripping tap or trying to join you for a bath!  They are active cats with strong personalities and can be naughty although they will try and fool you by looking so innocent.
