Rosettes make the Bengals Pattern different


This is a Rosetted Asian Leopard Cat
  1. Rosettes are not round spots
  2. Rosettes have many shapes and sizes
  3. Rosettes must have more than one color or shade of color different from the background color and the spot color


Often different types of rosettes are found on the same cat.







Paw Print Rosettes, more than one dark spot with brighter richer color in between


Arrowhead or Shaded rosettes, a single spot with different color shade Most rosetted cats have more than one type and size of rosette






Development of Rosettes 

Judging how a patter will develop can be extremely difficult for a novice. Coloration does intensify while a Bengal kitten grows and develops.
