If you’ve ever wanted to have a tiger at home but were too concerned about the consequences of having a jungle cat in a domestic environment, this is the cat for you. The breeders who brought the world the Bengal cat in the ‘70s, were playing God once again in the ‘80s, when they crossed a Bengal with a domestic shorthair cat, and ended up with a round-faced feline similar to a tiger. It was aptly named “Toyger.”

Toygers are energetic, playful cats that love attention and cuddles from their human families.
