Well I'm on Pet Talk almost everyday, even if I don't post on all the threads I read. I love cats I wish I could have more but I don't have my own place so it makes it difficult plus I'm in college I don't have money to spend on cats as much as I like. So with that intro Lets get to the topic.
Toygers another Designer breed that I have been observing. Their have been breed from a basic Mackrel tabby and a Bengal to imulate the strips of a Tiger. The goal of the Breeder is to create rounded ears more tufts around the face and a destinct white belly.

Personally I think their cute but I don't think I would ever spend $1000 for a cat when I could get one at a shelter that is just the same. I understand the luxury of buying from a breeder because when you get one from a breeder they less likely to have been abused or neglected not a promise but less likely. Most strays make wonderful pets too if not better because they have seen tragdies and been mistreated and I think they appreciate it more then one whos never been in a shelter or on the streets. I appreciate Stormy because without him in my life it would be alot more lonelier at my house, with him waiting at the door it makes it a home. I have someone to come home to waiting for a rub and/or a treat. It really doesn't make sense to buy from breeders when their are thousands and thousands of perfectly good cats waiting to be loved. Their is at lest one or dozen more like it cat that would suite certain needs in a family if they looked.
