I think u are mentioning/asking Q related to "Bengal Cat".If so..this is the answer:
-F is means for "Filial" and 1 is for "1st generation " from Asian Leopard Cat.
-So F1 is a kitten from ALC x Domestic cat.
-"Foundation" is a term to tell that this cat is only means for breeding and not suitable for pet.

F1 foundation kitten meants that this kitten is from ALC x Domestic cat and is not suitable for pet but for breeding only to produce Bengal cat.

Harap-harap betul le jawapan I ni......dan boleh difahami....

Nak tumpang sekaki bertanya,
why F1 cats not suitable as pets? And F2 cats are bengals?
Just curious..

My previous answer is actually shorten already ,the real answer is this-

F1,F2,F3 are Foundation Bengal-Not suitable for pet due to their wildness and wild temperement.

F4 is bengal and suitable for pet and can compete in show.

Ooo.. Thanks for the explaination.
Unyang/Moyang dia (si F4) le yg ALC ye? Kira keturunan dia di "dilute-kan" dgn DSH x 4 kali?.... baru keluar Bengal?
kekeke..

Ya betul,memang di dilute-kan tapi bukan dengan DSH x4,kira-kiranya macam ni:
-ALC x DSH = F1
-F1 X SBT Bengal(F4 and above) = F2
-F2 x SBT Bengal=F3
-F3 x SBT Bengal =F4 and so on.


Kalau nak hasilkan Silver Bengal,boleh le guna DSH(Silver spotted-Tabby sahaja)-
-SBT Bengal/ALC/Foundation Bengal x Silver spotted DSH/ASH/Occicat=Silver Foundation Bengal.

-Foundation Bengal x DSH biasa = DSH
-SBT Bengal x DSH Biasa = DSH

Dr. ..saya pun nak tumpang tanya,
ALC,F1,F2,F3,SBT nie permakanan dia org sama ker? Boleh bagi kibbles + kedai punya wet food tak? Ke kena selangkan dengan raw meat?

Pemakanan bagi saya adalah terlalu subjectif,kalau dia orang suka makan kibbles,lagi bagus senang didapati dan lebih mudah disediakan.Lebih terjamin zat-zat untuk tumbesaran diaorang.

Ikut pengalaman saya yg pernah ada ALC,F1,F2 dan SBT adalah seperti berikut:
-ALC-majoriti makan wetfood atau ayam/daging rebus macam kat hutan,setakat ni saya belum jumpa lagi yg makan kibbles.

-Foundation cat-biasanya dah makan kibbles terutamanya kalau mak dia adalah SBT bengal atau DSH,kalau tidak kena diajar semasa kecil untuk makan kibbles.

-SBT Bengal-kibbles memang kesukaan,tapi yg paling disukai sekali masih wetfood atau ayam/daging rebus.

Walau bagaimanapun,perlu diingat yg ALC,Foundation cat atau SBT Bengal, semuanya memerlukan protein tingggi dalam pemakanan mereka untuk membina otot-otot bagi tumbesaran yg normal.

Jadi,ikutlah selera diaorang,yg penting makanan berkhasiat dan mempunyai kandungan protein yg tinggi(min crude protein-32% -35%).

Dr. terima kasih. Appreciate your answers.
