About the Toyger The Toyger — "toy tiger" — was developed beginning in 1993 by Judy Sugden in the United States, who selectively bred domestic shorthair tabbies to create a cat that resembles a miniature tiger. Weighing 7–15 pounds, this medium-to-large muscular cat features a long, low-slung body, small rounded ears, and a striking coat of bold, vertically aligned dark stripes (called "branching") on a vivid orange-tan background with a white-lightened belly — the goal being as close to a tiger's pattern as possible.Temperament & PersonalityDespite their wild appearance, Toygers are easygoing, friendly cats that enjoy human company and adapt well to indoor living. They are intelligent and trainable, readily learning to walk on a leash, play fetch, and perform tricks. Social and relaxed, they do well with children and other pets, showing none of the intensity of actual wild-hybrid breeds.ProsSpectacular tiger-like appearance with no wild cat bloodlinesLaid-back and friendly — easier to manage than most exotic-looking breedsIntelligent and trainable — enjoys learning tricks and leash walkingShort coat requires minimal groomingConsVery rare and expensive — limited availability through breedersBreed is still in development — the gene pool remains smallMay inherit heart murmurs from some breeding linesHigh price tag and rarity make adoption opportunities uncommonWant a living room tiger without the wild side?
