Just curious, but did you read the link you posted? Bobcat hybrids do not exist, sorry to burst your bubble. And to date, as it says in the link you provided, there is no genetic marker for bobcats. They simply are fake, what people claim are hybrids to make money. Plus, by looking at the cat he has no bobcat traits at all.

They're beautiful, I will agree, but how can anyone justify charging upwards of $4-$8k for a cat if it isn't only for profit?? Plus she wants to declaw them... It's a shame. I will agree she sounds more reputable than most breeders, though, but I still can't fathom charging $4-$8k for a kitten when an entire litter shouldn't cost you anywhere near that much in vet bills.Originally Posted by luckies4me

Actually, that's barely anything! These cats are extremely rare, and she has been the first ever to work on this new breed for TICA. They should be selling for at least 10 thousand IMO. It is TICA policy to charge what is deemed appropriate, and this is definitely appropriate in this case. These are very very rare cats, and it will take years to come up with an exceptable "standard". It will take a long time for this breed to become domestic, and will take a lot of work to get there.Originally Posted by Jessika
As far as declawing, they most definitely should be declawed. Until they are a recognized domestic breed, all babies should be declawed. They will have the personality of a caracal, and not the safest cat to have around. I don't know if you've seen caracals in person, but they are huge, and not as friendly as a serval. They have a habit of being flighty and even a gentle "I'm trying to get away put me down I don't want to be held" can lead to some nasty wounds. They are not a cat for just anyone, hence the price tag.

Maybe they shouldn't be bred at all if they are too wild to own safely. Do we really need another breed of cat or another type of exotic pet?

I love exotics, and say bring it on!
I've love to see new breeds. Ones without squished faces and ten million health problems.
