People seem to be more attracted to cats that have a wild look. The Bengal was created to achieve this combination. From the fourth generation, the Bengal cat has been considered domesticated. People who were willing to take on the challenge of keeping a Bengal cat socialized were given the first generation. The Bengal cats of the fourth generation are more affectionate, gentle, and friendly. The Siamese gene encoding the albino gene gave rise to the original variant, “Seal Lynx Point”.
