The Dogmother Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Did anyone else see this in the Telegraph yesterday? http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.cat-world.com.au/images/Toyger.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.cat-world.com.au/ToygerBP.htm&h=230&w=373&sz=51&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=edQWLRwfYmgSjM:&tbnh=75&tbnw=122&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtoyger%26gbv%3D2%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den 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????

bronze Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 oh its beautiful also shows how easy it would be to have wild cat spottings without there actually being wild cats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Blimey. You could get 25 normal cats for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aunty e Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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 Posted October 18, 2007 Author Share Posted October 18, 2007 Mau cats are lovely; you are tempting me with those kittens - naughty girl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aunty e Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
