Toygers, the new cat breed
"KoningPrint" wrote in message
oups.com... Watch these great new cats: http://www.toygers.nl Yeah, just what we need - another greedy breeder adding cats to a world so overpopulated with cats that thousands are euthanized every day for lack of a loving home. Do you realize how far $4000 could be stretched by shelters to take care of cats nobody wants because they aren't "designer" cats (when the *ONLY* difference is coat color)??!!! CatNipped |

CatNipped Oh, there's probably a bigger difference than just coat color. Along with your $4,000 cat, you'll get a plethora of genetic anomalties and health problems. AFter all, this breed is "new" and it'll take "a few more years" for Ms. Cat God to get the kinks worked out of her new breed. Sherry |

But I was in a ****y mood when I read this post to begin with, and now I just want to choke the living **** out of anybody out there who is stupid enough, callous enough, heartless enough, to screw with genetics trying to perfect a breed. What happens to the cast-offs that occurred (and you know they did).....until this perfect "Toyger"?? Arrgghh. I'm stepping away from the computer now to throw up. Sherry |

Its awful. If it's any consolation I have always said that next time I have a vacancy - and I hope that will not be soon - I will get a cat that no-one wants. An extremely shy feral would fit in well here. There is plenty of room for them to be outside around the chicken huts if they might like to hunt. There are sheds to sleep in if they are too shy to come inside. Both mine had gone semi-feral, however I am very quiet in my home and they came in eventually to enjoy the delights of sleeping on the duvet on the spare bed. And to torment me about "did you say it was time for breakfast/or/dinner? Tweed |

Watch these great new cats:
http://www.toygers.nl Don't even get me started. This breeder should be strung up. That's one of the most disgusting articles I've ever read. More designer cats. That's just what we need. I used to think that way, but one experience has made me reconsider. My Muriel is 17 and has had next to no health problems at all, prior to getting cancer a few months ago. She's still bouncing around like a cat half her age. Virtually nobody seeing her for the first time guesses her age within ten years. We got her from somebody who got her from the cat and dog home, but she's obviously a British Shorthair silver tabby, and an exceptionally beautiful example of the breed. The breeders who produced her must have not only created the coat and body shape they wanted, they also eliminated a whole lot of bad health genes as well. I'd consider getting another one direct from a breeder: in the long run, the saving on vet's bills would outweigh the cost of a rather expensive kitten (they cost more than Persians). The site says there are 350 Toyger breeders. That's a pretty large gene pool, comparable to some whole species like gorillas and right whales. ============== j-c ====== @ ====== purr . demon . co . uk ============== Jack Campin: 11 Third St, Newtongrange EH22 4PU, Scotland | tel 0131 660 4760 http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ for CD-ROMs and free | fax 0870 0554 975 stuff: Scottish music, food intolerance, & Mac logic fonts | mob 07800 739 557 |

CatNipped I agree with you, Lori. I love all cats, and have a lot of difficulty seeing them merely as objects, or property, or status symbols.

Toygers, the new cat breed
"KoningPrint" wrote in message oups.com... Watch these great new cats: http://www.toygers.nl OK I looked expecting to see unusual cats. I think Bengalis are gorgeous although I wouldn't have one on a bet. But someone correct me if I'm wrong. But don't we already HAVE tiger stripped cats? Lots and lots of tiger striped cats? Darn near everything I saw had pretty much the same marking you can see at animal shelters every day. And I didn't see a one in their lot of experiments that had what anyone without a great deal of imagination could call an orange background with black stripes anyway. Now I'm going to feed my perfectly good orange and white and tabby calico. |
