Description

Charcoal coat is a rare colouration pattern unique to the Bengal cat, resulting in a darker coat colour and so-called “Zorro markings” on the face and back. Believed to derive from the Asian Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis), which was hybridized with the common domestic cat to create the Bengal breed. The Charcoal genotype consists of several mutations to the gene ASIP.

The trait inherits in a semi-dominant manner: only a cat with one copy of the Charcoal allele and one copy of the non-Agouti allele will display a Charcoal coat.
