The Bengal Admiral Has Weathered Storms and Plans the Next Climb
Gold epaulettes, a high navy collar and a face that has weathered many storms: the admiral has arrived. The Bengal has a brown spotted coat with golden-green eyes and bold dark markings across his cheeks and forehead. His navy coat has stiff gold braid at the collar and thick, fringed gold epaulettes at his shoulders, and the muted background of grey drapes and a pale wall keeps all eyes on his sharp, intelligent face.
His stare is the heart of the portrait. It is steady and a little curious, as though he is already planning an exploration of the ship, including every high shelf. The gold braid at his collar catches the light, and his whiskers look carefully combed, as befits an officer of the fleet.
Bengals are energetic, athletic cats with a wild-looking coat and a lot of curiosity. They like to climb, jump and investigate, and they often learn tricks or enjoy walking on a harness. They tend to need plenty of play and mental challenges, such as puzzle feeders, tall cat trees and interactive toys, or they may invent their own games. Their short coat is easy to groom. Ask your vet about vaccines, diet and safe outdoor activities if your cat explores outside.
The fleet is in order, the sea is calm and the crew is well fed. The admiral's next mission is to investigate the top of the cupboard, and nobody is brave enough to tell him that it is off limits.
