About The Charcoal Bengal Cat
The Brown Bengal cat stands out with a bold and mysterious look that captures attention wherever it goes. Darker than the typical Bengal, this striking variation is known for its signature “Zorro mask”—distinct facial markings that resemble a mask—as well as a deep, dark “cape” running along its back. The intensity of these features varies from cat to cat, adding to the uniqueness of each Charcoal Bengal. Unlike standard rosettes, their markings appear ink-filled, creating a richer and more dramatic contrast. What makes the Charcoal Bengal truly special is its genetic origin.
How to produce charcoal Bengal kittens?
Brown is the easiest color to produce in Bengal cat. The brown gene is dominant, which means you only need one brown parent to produce brown Bengal kittens. In some cases, you could produce brown Bengal kittens even if neither parent is brown. It’s quite amazing knowing that if you cross a snow (white) Bengal cat with a melanistic (black) Bengal cat, and neither of these cats carry any other gene, you will only have brown Bengal kittens.The reason is that snow and melanistic colored genes are recessive. The word “recessive” means that both parents must pass on the gene to produce the color. So, if there is only one parent who transmits the snow or melanistic gene, there will be no color other than brown
