00:18A cat that looks wild but lives on a couch sounds irresistible.
00:23But cool is not the same as easy.
00:25Some exotic-looking breeds are fully domestic cats selected for dramatic coats, spots, stripes, or athletic bodies.
00:34Others come from hybrid backgrounds involving wild species such as servals, Asian leopard cats, or jungle cats.

01:04Bengals may need intense play.
