Champion Gogees Nova Nouveau and Joykatz Kato are
from the original *Centerwall Asian Leopard cat line.
Nova is also from the famous Bristol
Line. (a non-ALC hybrid, beleived to be either
the margay, ocelot or oncilla.)
*Dr Willard Centerwall, a professor, was researching the partial
immunity ALC's have to feline leukemia, and in his research, done in
the late 1970's and early 1980's, he was using the blood taken from
ALC/Domestic crosses. The breedings in the Centerwall experiments
were done by Gordon Meredith, and Mary Gepford. These F1's (first
generation removed from ALC) had no use other than having their
blood drawn for testing so homes were needed for them. This is where
Jean Mill got her early F1's

Bengal cats are the result of
carefully planned cross breeding between the Asian Leopard Cat
(Felis Bengalensis) and a domestic cat (Felis catus), usually the
short haired tabby or Egyptian Mau because of their complimentary
coat patterns and favorable personalities.

Asian
Leopard Cats (ALC) are native to regions throughout much of southern
and eastern Asia, including Siberia, Pakistan, Tibet, India, Burma,
Thailand, and part mainland China continuing south to Sumatra,
Java, Borneo and the Philippines. . The Asian Leopard Cat is very versatile as to
which habitats it lives in. They are found in high and low
elevations and flourish in habitats from desert-like to lush rain
forests. ALC's base coat colors differ depending on the climate they
are from, ranging from a bright reddish-orange to a gray, golden, or
tawny brown. They have long bodies and their hind legs are
considerably longer than the front legs. Two narrow black cheek
stripes run from the comers of the eye, enclosing a white area on
the cheek giving the appearance of spectacles. The underside of
their bodies is typically white with black spots and the tail is
long with rings toward the end.
The Bengal
Cat is known to be an extraordinary domestic cat that possesses the
exotic look of jungle leopards with the reliability and
companionship of affectionate lap cats. They are very active and
because they have retained some of their wild instinct, many have a
natural love of water It's not uncommon for them to fetch and
agreeably walk on leashes. Bengals eat regular cat food and with the
advantage of litter boxes in busy lifestyles, it's no wonder that
cat's are the world's most popular pet and there is almost one cat
for every person on the planet. (Ok, so a few of us choose to have a
few extras!)
