Fuzzing is a trait inherited by Bengal cats from their wild ancestors, the Asian Leopard Cat. A process that all Bengal kittens go through at the age of 3-4 weeks old. Around this age, the young feral cats leave their nests and enter a world very vulnerable, to hungry carnivores. Their bright spotted fur can attract the attention of predatory animals.
To protect them from mortal danger, nature creates a protective coloring for them "camouflage", which is one of the conditions for survival in the wild. Their bright fur fades and turns gray and longer, which hides the clear pattern, thus ensuring the kitten's invisibility against the background of the earth, stones, and plants of the wooded and semi-desert areas that are the traditional habitats of these animals. Then By the age of 5-6 months, the growing Bengal kittens will begin to return to their natural colors, which will finally be established by 10-12 months old.
