- Oppose. Unfortunately the picture resolution is too small – "images should be a minimum of 1500 pixels in width and height" (Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria). —Bruce1eetalk 05:14, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- I realized this when I made the nomination, but it says exceptions can be made when justified on a case-by-case basis, and given the age of the image, it's unlikely that any higher resolution can be acquired. Given that it exceeds 1500 on one end and is over 1000 on the other, I feel that if size is the only objection, it's a weak one if it meets the other criteria.

- Problem is, Bangie isn't the only Bengal around. Another specimen could be photographed. The justification exception is generally for historic photographs. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 05:54, 22 March 2013 (UTC)

- Oppose Very snap-shotty... Too much going on in this picture to realise that the focus is a cat... Plus as much as it may be the actual name of this particular cat, it took me a while to realise that Bengie isn't actually famous - the way this nom is set, with the title and description mentioned the cat's name, it's as if we should know who Bengie is...... From a neutrality point of view the picture and nom should in my opinion should not contain the name of the cat... gazhiley 09:30, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose there is no extraordinary technical merit of this photo or notability of this particular specimen. While I understand that one may be very attached to their pets, one should not expect everyone else to be similarly partial to the organism. As I see it, this photo could easily be replaced by a better photo of a different bengal cat. dllu (t,c) 21:18, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
- Oppose wow, this image is funny and also the nomination itself having a non-famous cat called Bengie. The image is good but as per all the participants have commented above, it's not an image good for the FP status. Mediran (t • c) 03:07, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
