Toygers

Yesterday I left you folks with a mystery concerning Toygers. Toygers are a striped breed of domestic cat. The Toyger cat is descended from Bengal cat stock crossed with domestic cats. The aim was to cross these cats to produce a striped 'toy tiger.' The Toyger was founded by Judy Sugden of "EEYAAS Cattery" in the USA.

The Toyger is a breed in development. Recognized by TICA for Registration Only in the early 1990's and Preliminary New Breed in 2000. Several of the features proposed have never before been recognized as possible in a domestic cat. Progress is slow but steady in all areas from companionability to appearance.
















I love this on-line description of the felines. It is directed so at your favorite yuppie!

Toygers are designed and bred with the demands of modern apartment life as a human companion foremost in mind. Glittered, pelted, dramatic pattern appeals to both the high-tech glamour and nature-loving, wild dreams of city-caught people while the laid back, easily trained character of these cats make them a joy to live with.

OK, the Toyger is a designer cat. It is designed and bred with the demands of modern apartment life as a human companion foremost in mind.

I am working on breeding hamsters that have spots, a very long neck, and will graze on apartment flora. I will call them giraffsters. Instead of tiger miniatures, I believe a giraffster that can easily live in an apartment, graze on the African violets and cuddle with you on the savannah will surely become a blooming business!
