When we talk about the
"Snow" Bengal Cat
we are referring to
3 GENETIC VARIATIONS
SEAL LYNX POINT
have
BLUE EYES
 SLP's
have the lightest background color of the snows with
patterns that range from brownish grey to tan or buff.
Their lovely blue
eyes make them quite outstanding.
Most SLP's are born pure white, although sometimes there is
a shading of color.
Genetically, the Seal Lynx is "cs,cs"
which means that it has two copies of the Siamese albino
gene.
The Seal Lynx point emerged as a natural result of early
Bengal breeding, when many cats were used to create the
filial generation, and the recessive
Siamese gene
remained.

more
contrasted Snow Bengal. Usually the darkest of the snows, the
background will be
ivory, cream or light tan with seal brown to dark seal brown
markings. |
