WELCOME TO RAZZELDOTS

We are a small cattery located in Kangley, two miles west of Streator, Il about 80 miles south west of Chicago.  Our cattery is register with ACFA, TICA and we are a member of The International Bengal Cat Society.  We offer top quality SBT bengals with excellent bloodlines, wild looks and a gentle temperament.  Our kittens are raised in our home with lots of socialization with people and other animals. 

We specialize in large exotic brown rosetted.

Our breeding cats have been carefully selected to pass on Gentle Loving Temperaments, High Contrast Markings, Good Bengal Type, Wild Faces, & lots of Glitter to our kittens. All kittens are hand raised indoors to ensure they are well adjusted and socialized to provide you with the ultimate pet! Because we are a small cattery, we do not have kittens available at all times, please inquire about availability and expected litters

 

 

MEET OUR FAMILY

Jeff and I are both cat lovers.  I have always been one and Jeff is a convert.  Our cattery is successful because we both are very dedicated to breeding the best Bengals available. 

In the spring and summer Jeff drag races and in the fall and winter we travel to cat shows.

Facts

Order: Carnivora
Family: Felidae
Species: Neofelis nebulosa

Description: Clouded leopards typically weigh about 28 pounds and are about 36 inches long (not including the tail, which is usually 30 inches long). Their fur ranges from pale yellow to brown with darker cloud-like markings. They have relatively short legs and large paws. Clouded leopards' long tails help them balance on narrow branches and jump safely from tree to tree. Watch a video

Distribution and Habitat: This species of clouded leopard ranges from countries of the Himalayas, southern China, and Taiwan to peninsula Malaysia. In 2006, scientists determined that the clouded leopards living on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo are a distinct species, Neofelis diardi. linkSee Clouded Leopard Times Two.

Rarely seen in the wild, there is some controversy as to whether the clouded leopard is an arboreal species—strongly tied to dense tropical evergreen forest—or a terrestrial hunter that uses roads and trails in logged forests. The answer is probably somewhere in between—the clouded leopard can hunt both in trees and on the ground. These cats can also live in drier forests if there is suitable prey.
