Bengal Cat VS. Toyger Cat.

What are the differences between these two cat breeds?


The Bengal could never be called delicate. They’re athletes, agile and graceful with a strong, muscular body, as befits a cat who looks as if they belong in the jungle. Despite their wild appearance, Bengal cats are actually quite affectionate with their human families. That said, they also have high energy and a fun-loving, playful side. They want to stay active and need a home that can match their energy. If you can fulfill the Bengal’s need for exercise, you’ll have a smart, loving cat who can keep you on your toes.

The Toyger is a mixed breed cat–a cross between the Bengal breed and Domestic Shorthair tabbies. Affectionate, energetic, and playful, these kitties inherited some of the best qualities from both of their parents. Toygers make excellent family cats. Once you see the mixed breed prowling around your home, it will seem like you have a miniature tiger living with you. But while this feline is muscular and athletic, they’re also a very loving and cuddle-some kitty.


Bengals are a medium-to-large cat. Bengals weigh eight to 15 pounds or more. The Toyger is a medium-sized cat. As is always the case with newer mixed cat breeds, exact size standards might vary. Most male Toygers weigh in at ten to 15 pounds, and most female Toygers are between seven and ten pounds.


The Bengal is highly active and highly intelligent. This makes him fun to live with, but he can sometimes be challenging. On the whole, the Bengal is a confident, talkative, friendly cat who is always alert. Nothing escapes his notice. He likes to play games, including fetch, and he’s a whiz at learning tricks. His nimble paws are almost as good as hands, and it’s a good thing he doesn’t have opposable thumbs or he would probably rule the world.

Fond of playing in the water, the Bengal is not above jumping into the tub or strolling into the shower with you. Aquarium and pond fish may be at risk from his clever paws. He also loves to climb and can often be found perching at the highest point he can reach in the home. A tall cat tree or two is a must for this feline, as are puzzle toys that will challenge his intelligence.

On the rare occasions that he isn’t swinging on chandeliers or swimming in your pool, the affectionate Bengal will be pleased to sit on your lap. It goes without saying that he will share your bed.

Toyger is one of the most affectionate and loving cats around. While they have a striking big cat appearance, this is a mixed breed that will love to cuddle up with you for snuggles while you relax on the couch.  Befitting such a social cat, the Toyger enjoys human company and having people around--this is a cat who thrives in a busy household rather than one where they're left alone for long periods of time.

The Toyger is also a super-smart cat who can be trained relatively easily, and the breed is often renowned for taking to outdoor adventures on a safety leash and harness. In fact, in many cases, pet owners have trained their Toyger to play games of fetch. Unlike many other cat breeds, the Toyger is also said to enjoy playing with water, just like big cat tigers in the wild.


Your Bengal cat will need all of the same immunizations and preventative health treatments as a domestic cat. They are not immune to the feline leukemia virus as their ALC ancestor is. Purebred cat breeds are more prone to genetic diseases than mixed breed domestic cats due to the fact that the gene population that they come from is smaller.

Some of the conditions they can be prone to include,

Autosomal recessive disorder, which causes early blindness in young cats.
Entropian, the rolling in of the eyelids.
Feline infectious peritonitis, a deadly disease that results from infection by the coronavirus.

Toygers are still very uncommon, so there is not much history to make solid conclusions about their common ailments. However, they may have a greater risk of heart murmurs. Be sure to get the usual regular check-ups, preventative care, and immunizations for your Toyger.
