I owe a huge Thank You to my dear friend Annette Lerche-Trolle  (Trollspotting) in Denmark!

I of course did have my expectations to Niello before he arrived, but he surely surpassed them all. The little man looked like an F1 or F2 hybrid, but no, that's not what he is but a pure SBT Bengal.

I'm not sure what's best in Niello. Is it his body, head or color.. maybe color if I'd have to choose.
He has lovely yellowish eyes with wild expression, good balanced strong chin, straight profile. I love his head all over, even that now as full crownup his scull could use more eggshape curve.
He has beautiful color, sandyellow with ink black spots that have deep brown shading. I do think I've had lots of cats with great contrast but he takes it to somewhat different level. And he is ticked the ALC way, ticked in groundcolor but without it ruining the contrast and spots. Niello is unglittered as so many wilder looking Bengals are.
Niello has whited underside. Some creaming up has happened in the middle of tummy but his chest and innerlegs, the typical hourglass shape, are still lovely whited at age of almost 2 years.

Niello is a bit high-strung, but is very adaptive and takes new situations with trust and positive additude. He is affectionate and playful boy, who has mainly the girls in mind at this point... Healthy young boy, ah?

Niello has grown up to a middle sized strong male with long body and he garries his quite a thick tail low and his moving brings a wild cat to ones mind.
