The previous owner that were bought her from says she is a Snow Bengal but I'm curious because I dont see markings on her side that look Bengal. They gave her to us for a very good price. She is beautiful and super friendly and we are very happy with her either way but we are curious to know if we do have a snow bengal or something else. What do you guys think? Here are some pictures

A very nice fellow. Bit as you say mo visible markings pn the sides.

She could be a ticket tabby - maybe even is precisely by this reason. But it wont help us:
Bengals arent breed because of being ticked.

If there is any thruth behind the claim she is half snow bengal:
Ticket tabby gene is strong and dominates over the other tabby genes.

Her body shape is fairly consistent with a snow bengal.

She’s a closer lookalike to a seal lynx point Colorpoint Shorthair than a Bengal, but she’d technically be considered a Domestic Shorthair. She’s very pretty!

I'd agree on a lovely lynx point domestic short hair. While there are lynxpoint snow begals, without pedigree papers your lovely one wouldn't actually be considered one. I am not seeing spots starting to develop on her sides that would make me think that she could be one.
