Do Bengal X cats have the same personality as full Bengals?

I have been considering getting Bengal cats and a friend of a friend has just had a litter of half bengal kittens that she wants to home so I was considering getting those. I was wondering if anyone can tell me what half bengal cats are like, do they still have the "Bengal" personality?

1. They do!! Bengal cats are soooo cute.. they're kittonalities are so good and fierce
2. They probably have most of the same characteristics in personality. If the mother is the Bengal they should have more Bengal personality and looks than if the Father is the Bengal. Here is a link to a site with more about Bengals. http://www.catchannel.com/breeds/profiles/bengal-cats-cat-breed.aspx
3. When cats are mixed like that, it really depends. Some of them will be more Bengal in personality, some less. I'm involved in Siamese rescue, and we see lots of mixed Siamese kittens. Even in the same litter, they range in temperament to not at all Siamese, to very much Siamese in personality. I imagine it would be the same for Bengals. As they get older, you'll see which ones are more outgoing, and more active, and which ones are less so.
