There are many domestic Bengals in Hawaii. More than likely 500 or so. They have been allowed into the state since 1991, but in 2006 someone pointed out that they have a hybrid origin from the ALC, a 7 pound Asian Leopard cat, nocturnal and shy.
Well the cat is out of the bag and people panic when they hear hybrid and the cat is removed from the list, where is accidentally got put on?? go figure.
This is such a mainstream domestic pet now a days that it is used in advertising with Eukanuba, Science Diet, McDonald's kids meals (now there is a reason to be concerned! LOL) to name just a few. The amount of wild is so diluted out after the one initial cross. that it cannot even be located by blood tests. They are domestic short haired cats which have patterns of strips, and spots. No more scary than a Siamese, or a Persian or Felix.
Cary do not worry there are no plans to rip them out of the loving arms of their owners, their travel is just impeded, no going in or out of the state currently or in the foreseeable future.
Who has an update of the brazen people trapping pet cats, on the pet owners property, and then taking them to the pound? What was the purpose of that move, isn't that theft?
