Hello and welcome to Chantay Bengals. I have recently moved my home-based cattery from Frankston South and now reside in the Western District near Bacchus Marsh on 1 acre which over time will be transformed into a lush beautifully treed haven for myself and my beloved cats.
I am a registered breeder and exhibitor with the Governing Council of Cat Fancy Victoria and Australia and have been accepted and currently training for my Group 3 Judges License.
I am also a Breeder of Distinction with The International Bengal Cat Society (TIBCS).
My cattery consists of my Queens, Champion Chantay Amazing Grace, Dbl Gd Ch Exoticatz Chantay Elise (pictured) and Ch Chantay Icemaiden Shakira and my stud boys CCC of A Ch & Gold Champion Runamok Jumala (honours) and Stonehenge Idlewild of Chantay.
Up and coming new queens are Chantay Dreamweaver and Bengarlis Ice Breaker.
My breeding program consists of Brown Spotted & Marbled, Seal Lynx Point, Mink & Sepia Spotted & Marbled.

Bengal History
|
The Bengal cat is an even tempered, gentle, affectionate, playful pet. The Bengal breed derives its name from the species of its wild ancestor, Felis Bengalensis, the Asian Leopard cat.
The Asian Leopard cat is a small, shy wild cat and is not known to be aggressive.
The domestic Bengal cat must be at least 4 generations removed from their wild ancestors to be accepted as domesticated.
The goal in developing the domestic Bengal cat breed was to preserve a strong physical resemblance to its beautiful wild ancestor and at the same time be a pleasant and trustworthy companion.
They are of medium to large domestic cat size and require a similar amount of care as other breeds.
If you are after a breed of cat with that WOW factor you need look no further than the Bengal.

Temperament
|
"Are you kidding we are a crack up"
|
Bengals should be very social cats, and love enjoy being around people. They are affectionate and loving, enjoying a cuddle
on your lap whenever they get the chance. They also have a very playful side,
and with their boundless energy they can be entertained - and entertaining - for
hours.
They are water loving cats and are quite often found taking a dip in the bath or shower with their owners. Kittens are
known to play with their water bowls and toys are constantly found floating in them.

|
How do they get along with other breeds of animals?
|
Bengals should be very social creatures and as such should have no problems getting along with other animals when
introduced correctly. This may take a day to a week depending on the kitten and it’s overall temperament.
It is almost guaranteed that they will own your home within a week of moving in.
