The Fuzzies

Bengal kittens go through an 'ugly fuzzy' stage, when their coats look dull, this starts from around 4 weeks old, it usually clears up at 12-16 weeks of age. This happens because wild cubs usually start to explore at around 4 weeks old, so a layer of white tipped hairs grow to mask their coats to camouflage them from predators. As this stage stops you will see the real beauty of your Bengal baby. So don't be put off by this 'Fuzzy' stage as your Bengal will eventually emerge from this fuzzy mess.
