I have 2 cats that I myself thought of as just striking tabby's.
I have had several people ask me however if my cats were mixed with Bengal.
So I am wondering if anyone thinks my cats could have Bengal mix?

As StefanZ StefanZ said, it is necessary to have good side pics to check pattern and body/head shape.

However, seeing pink nose and paws' "leather", the amount and distribution of white, eye shape, ears and the definition in pattern, I am inclined to say that I personally don't see any recent bengal influence in this beautiful cat.

I don’t see any Bengal in this cutie either; you could call her a brown classic (aka marbled or bullseye) tabby and white Domestic Shorthair. She’s a lovely cat, and I adore her little pink “toe beans”!

Sitting at a good monitor, I see them better.
Both are very sweet and nice, but no traces of bengal.
"just" classic tabby.

Even if the coloration not the most usual, as everthing goes in brown, darker and somewhat lighter. But its not a bengal trait, sooner opposite; marbled bengals have strickingly contrast.
