Rare Bengal-Maine Coon Cat Mix's Golden Eyes Have Everyone Doing A Double Take
Did you know that both the Bengal and the Maine coon are among the most stolen cat breeds? This is likely because they have some of the rarest and most fascinating features, like leopard-like fur and larger-than-average sizes. But what happens if you mix these two breeds together? Well, thanks to a wonderful TikTok video, you can see for yourself. And let us tell you, Neville Loongbottom is as gorgeous as you might imagine.

Neville is stunning, but it's not just his unique black and tan markings that make us stop and stare. Actually, the most mesmerizing things about dear Nev are his golden eyes and his bold little stare. Posted in mid-February 2026, the TikTok video shows off Neville's beautiful eyes in slow motion, with the caption reading, "When he looks at you like he looks at ham." This beautiful cat's fans were amazed, with one commenter pointing out how much his unique fur compliments his lovely eyes. "So unusual! His markings give him extra fancy eyelashes," the user wrote. Ain't that something?
What traits might Neville Loongbottom develop as a Bengal-Maine coon mix?
It's definitely hard not to give Neville Loongbottom a double take — and equally tough to imagine this little fellow being anything but a delight. So, might Bengal-Maine coon mixes be as sweet as Nev seems? Well, it can help to break down things we know about each breed.
First, it's often understood that Bengals are an energetic cat breed even dog people will love, which can be quite fun or tiring depending on your personal activity level. The Maine coon, on the other hand, is known for its gentle and affectionate nature. Together, this crossbreed feline might inherit all sorts of unique looks and behaviors from long hair to wild markings or even a hyperactive nature.
That brings us back to our friend Neville. Other TikTok videos of this cat show subtle body language cues of a rather gentle though playful kitty, which seem to be a nice mix of both his Maine coon and Bengal sides, but his human has also mentioned that Nev is still just a baby. As such, we can expect some changes in him as videos of him continue to get posted, as kittens naturally change over time. In any case, we are absolutely in love!
