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.
In turn it is more of a headache
to the breeder of these wonderful cats than it is to anyone else.
It is incredibly hard to place kitten in their fuzzies into permanent
homes. The general population doesn’t find Bengal kittens
in this particular stage attractive there for harder to sell.
Some look at it as an adventure as their Bengal changes from
small kitten into full grown cat with different variations of
coloring along the path.
So it’s not a case of To Fuzzies or Not To Fuzzies its when
and how long will it last. It’s all about the twists and
turn along the way to the surprise at the very end.
