DUBIOUS DNA

i think she's part bengal. yeah, i know that's insane for a street cat, it's not like dogs, you should only expect domestic landrace cats out of a shelter and that is what i expected when i picked her, but hear me out: the coat alone is a tell. i've never pet another cat as soft and luxurious as her, she has a pelt, near chinchilla textured, and the glitter is rare and interesting as well. when her fur was still growing back, you could more easily see her tabby pattern has a faint outline. her head and body shape are close to breed standard. she talks a lot. on the no side, she isn't very active and she's too scared of everything to be much troubles. i don't think she's 100% or anything, definitely not a show quality pattern or fully allowed color, but she looks like other confirmed bengal mixes to me. i want to get her DNA color tested with UC davis, they have one that looks for bengal genes that should tell me if it's true, but i keep forgetting about it. if she is all moggie, she's got some funky mutations! anyway, some strong examples of her glitter, it is prismatic in the sun and a pearly sheen in low lighting:

a weird pic of the glitter in artificial light + i can see the pattern outline in these ones if i squint lol. her patterning is pretty muddy in general and her coat is a little long to get full definition, but it seems to be a non-show quality match to the charcoal bengal pattern including the goggles, mask, and cape on the wrong body color. i don't know how she got to be a dilute with a charcoal pattern, that's not standard! i'm really fascinated with her genetics!!

LOVELY LADY
