Bengal Cat Names

Who can resist these beautiful cats? Known for being active, playful, and having a friendly temperament, they make wonderful pets. Often a little bigger than house cats, up to 15 lbs. These stunning cats are related to the majestic leopards – which pet parents can see simply by petting their lovely coats with spots and other markings. Just like their leopard ancestors, the Bengals love water!

If you’ve just adopted or purchased a Bengal, you can learn more about this cat breed by visiting The International Bengal Cat Society.

Many are proud to own Bengals including celebrities such as Kristen Stewart, from the Twilight movies!

Here are some purrfect cat names, especially for your lovely Bengal cat or kitten:

Leo – This cat name easily reminds one of the origins of the Bengal cat, the “big cat” the Leopard. Look into your cat’s eyes every day and see their inner Leopard!

Panther – Did you know that Leopard in Latin is ‘Panthera Pardus? So naming your Bengal Panther, is another great choice to keep their origins a special part of who they are.

Your Bengal cat loves water and may even surprise you by enjoying a swim!
