What Are the Fuzzies you ask?

During what is called the fuzzie period the Bengal kittens usually grow a camouflage that will mute their markings and make them seem not as cute just like cats do in the wild.

When they are first born their markings are just beautiful while they are hidden in their dens by their Mothers then they start wandering out of their protective coverings and then Mother Nature takes over adding in these little white tip hairs that drive us crazy. This is what’s called the “Ugly Fuzzies” This happens between 3 weeks/ 8 months of age.

This hair does fall out leaving behind the most beautiful coat the outlining will darken and the colors will become richer. So for the most part this is only temporary all thou not pretty it would suite its purpose in the wild. So you just have to be patient and wait for their beautiful rich coloring to return in time. These Exotic Beauties Coats are the most unique in the domesticated cat world and are so much fun to watch develop.
