Bengal Cats are finally being shown in Cat Fanciers Association (CFA) cat shows. Not yet in competition, but in the “miscellaneous” class. More information can be found on the CFA breed description page. For anyone with listings in the Bengal Cat Directory, CFA has been added to the registration associations list.

Do not let extremist animal rights groups take away your ability to own hybrid breeds of cats such as Bengals, Savannahs and Chausies!
If you own one of these breeds of cats, be aware that several states, including CA, are considering legislation against these breeds. Please stand up for your right to own cat breeds with a exotic/domestic hybrid background. If owners of these cats are unaware of what is going on and do nothing to stop this legislation, your rights to own them may be taken away!
Currently under consideration is the following CA petition by five organizations wishing to eliminate ALL ownership of cat breeds with a hybrid background. As you can see, only one of the participating organizations are even based in CA. They intend to start with CA laws and make them nationwide.
Title page of the current petition:
