Hi Ben!

That's how LuLu was as a kitten.. the 3 others in her litter LOOKED like
little kittens.. meanwhile she was gigantic in comparison .  She really
looks like she takes after the Maine Coon Cat that I think fathered this
litter.  Leo and Lulu both have distinct Maine Coon Cat markings.  Lola and
Lizzie look like typical "alley-cats" and they remained small like normal
"cats".

Your Bengal is bound to be large I think.. IIRC, they can grow to about 15 lbs
which one site noted was about 5lbs. heavier than "normal cats".

If Bengals are like Maine Coon Cats, she may keep growing for a while :) 
Maine Coon Cats are still considered "immature" at 6 years old. I don't know
if Bengals are like that..

I was reading about Bengals they look so neat!  Now I really miss Pete, he was
a full breed Maine Coon we had years ago... he liked to play fetch Lol.. I
read that Bengals do that as well?

Take care,
Janis
