Hello,
Yes, it’s quite common in some "snow" Bengals. In fact, a true Snow Lynx Bengal can look very similar to a Siamese, especially as an adult. That doesn’t necessarily mean she isn’t a Bengal.
The Snow Lynx Bengal actually shares the same type of colouring as the Siamese. As they get older, the body can become lighter or cream, the spots become more faint, and the points (ears, tail, and mask) get darker. Because of this, the "Siamese" look becomes more pronounced. For some snow Bengals, the contrast is striking when they are kittens but then fades between 1 and 3 years of age.
The quality of the bloodline and genetic selection are obviously the main factors in your cat's coat colour, and there is nothing you can do to change that. Otherwise, the coat can change depending on age, the season, and so on.
However, the condition of a pet’s coat is an indicator of its overall health. If you notice any hair loss, a dull coat, weight loss, or a sudden change over just a few weeks, don’t hesitate to book in with your vet for a check-up.
Best wishes,
Quitterie
