Is a cat with a tabby mother and bengal father more like a mother or a father?

Depends on the genetics. There's a probability involved, but no way to know for 100% sure.

Cats inherit half of their DNA from each parent, with the exception of sex-linked genes. Why do you ask?

Also, tabby is a color pattern, while Bengal is a breed. Most Bengals are tabby, but most tabbies are not Bengals :)

If (and I mean IF tons of tabbies are called bengals but are not bengals) the kitten is a half bengal the kitten would still have the typical bengal energy. They are crazy high energy cats and not for everyone given their needs.
