Is my cat tabby/Bengal mix?

Hi, I need some help confirming or denying if my cat looks part Tabby part Bengal, or all Tabby. I read about the traits to look for in the mixed ones but I'm still not sure.

Your cat is all tabby.  No visible hints of bengal.

Spots on the tummy are quite common on both mackerel and classic tabbies, so they dont prove anything.   We always look on the pattern at the side of the body.  And there its very normal tabby here.

The bengal spotted and the bengal marbled (ie classic tabby)   are both technically tabby markings them too, but so specialized and refined, there is hardly ever no doubt when you see a real bengal.

Mixed out, it detoriates quickly, but still, usually you can suspect on grandchildrens they may have a bengal as grandparent.   The immediate children may be more difficult to see - which I suspect many BYB breeders take advantage of.

Yes, tummy spots and stripes are normal in tabby patterned cats.
They look Gorgeous on cats though

I think I see a hint of Siamese or in your boys face. Maybe he has some in his background.
