[The Dogmother]

Did anyone else see this in the Telegraph yesterday?

Despite their wild appearance, they're supposed to be domesticated, love water, fetch things like a dog and be very gentle... now can I find room for one of those, plus a little piggie????

[Snowy]

What beauties! Put my name down for one!

[bronze]

oh its beautiful

 

 

also shows how easy it would be to have wild cat spottings without there actually being wild cats

[Cinnamon]

I want one too.

It would look great next to Chillis Bengal spots

[Egluntyne]

Very handsome.

[buffie]

Wouldn't trust it with the chooks but lovely

They showed these on Central News last night - absolutely stunning cats and at snip at just £2500 each

[Cinnamon]

Blimey.

You could get 25 normal cats for that

[Omletina Kyckling]

There's a breeder with kittens in the UK for £500-700 each. Still a lot to pay for a kitty though!

Hey! My boys are half bengal and half silver tabby, do you think I have Acme Toygers here?

[Jules.]

My moggies cost £10 each from cats protection & the rescue centre.

[Joojoo]

Blimey.

You could get 25 normal cats for that

 

Well I'm nearly a quarter of the way there

[The Dogmother]

I can just see Biscuit calling it 'The Ginger Whinger'! I love my mogs

[Aunty e]

That cat looks a lot like my Mau.....except she is silver. I've got some half-mau, half local beast of bodmin kittens coming, do you think I can sell those for that much?

 

 

I do like them, but I've been reading a lot of books on cat psychology recently (cats still fighting) and they suggested that these dog-like breeds can sometimes be quite difficult cats, because they're unnaturally attached to humans, rather than independent like your average mog. There was more to it than that, but I have to say that I wish my Mau was less attached to me, it makes me feel very bad when I go out to work and leave her with the others (who she doesn't like).

[The Dogmother]

Mau cats are lovely; you are tempting me with those kittens - naughty girl

[Aunty e]

She's so lovely, specially when she runs up to you with her big green eyes and jumps into your arms. Sadly, my husband feels this doesn't quite make up for her reaction whenever she sees our boy cat. He's having some time out today at a friends, in the hope that he will be less dominant (bullying) when he gets back.

 

Our bengal is due in two weeks (SO EXCITED) and the Mau is due in four weeks, although she's the size of a house right now.
