Toygers?

[Prairie Purrs]

For $ 1200, you can get yourself a "toyger": Utah Woman Breeds New Kind of Cat (http://www.ksl.com/?nid=148&sid=1165481)

Or you can go to your local shelter and adopt a tabby.

:confused: Well there you go Like we need a new breed of cats.. :rolleyes: I would say at $1,200.00 this could go towards alot of spaying/nuetering, food, supplies for shelters with so many dumped babies.. :(

Is this breed definitely new? I'm sure I've heard of it before....

Seems the world's moving on from designer dogs to chic cats :( :(

Oh, they're beautiful! But so is my little senior rescue, Smudge!

And he's got better fashion sense, too.

I've heard of this breed before but I prefer to adopt rescue kitties. Just think of all of the great cat supplies you could buy for $1200.00.:)

Wow. The photos look....just like my Howard (he's a tabby). Same stripe pattern and everything.

They're pretty, but it's so sad that there are already so many beautiful babies in shelters. I just don't see paying $1200.00 when the satifaction you feel from adopting is so wonderful!

i remember when this breed first came out, it does anger me though because there are so many babys in shelters and everything and there is a bad over population and people are just adding more! $1200 could go to a lot of things, and can help A LOT of animals !

I remember reading an article when it first came out, and she breeds a bengal with another kittie but I cant remember wat it is! They are cute but idk they are just taking the spotting of the bengal and turning it into stripes and are taking the glittering effect! I do remember in the article them saying it is going to take some time until they get the full result and look of the toyger, but I rather rescue kitties and well like most of us have said $1200 could go to a lot of things and a lot of spays/nueters!

I have a bengal, but they don't cost 1200! he cost 200, bit of a difference! they are cute, but Buddha is my baby!

[Genny]

well, like some said I'd definitely not give that much for an animal when they're tons of others that need homes/etc, but they are neat looking and would be cool to have one of they were a reasonable price :)

Just what we need, more cats! The people who want these 'tigers' should spend their money to help keep the full sized ones in their jungles.
