Sepia & Snow Bengal Kittens

The Snow Bengal cat
​Looking for a mini snow leopard? Then this is the cat you’re looking for.
Bengals also come in a range of cream, ivory colours associated with a form of albinism that comes from Siamese and Burmese cats ancestry.
Contrary to what the name suggests, they are not pure white Bengal cats.
In fact, the snow Bengal cat comes in 3 genetically different colours (and names):

• Seal Lynx
• Seal Mink
• Seal Sepia

It can be tricky to tell the difference between the three seal colours. A genetic test is always the best method to differentiate the 3 snow Bengals. Alternatively, eye colours can help determine the snow Bengal colour one has. 

A Snow Seal Lynx Bengal (Cs, Cs colour genes) has:

• A very light white cream colour
• Dark or light seal markings
• Dark seal brown tail tip
• Blue eyes. Always.

A Snow Seal Mink Bengal (Cb, Cs colour genes) has:

• Ivory, cream, light tan colour
• Various shades of seal mink to dark seal mink markings
• Dark seal brown tail tip
• Blue-green or aqua eyes

A Snow Seal Sepia Bengal (Cb, Cb colour genes) has:

• Ivory, cream, light tan colour
• Various shades of seal sepia to dark seal sepia markings
• Dark seal brown tail tip
• Green or gold eyes

Not too bad, right? Shouldn’t be too hard to determine what colour Bengal you’re after.
