Meet The Toyger

Dear cat lovers,

As you can see in the picture a posted before, toyger is a domestic cat which look like a tiger. More like 'miniature tiger'. The toyger is the latest addition of 'designer cat' that has flooded the market in recent years.
The toyger is the result of an experiment, back in the 1980s, aimed at breeding domestic short-haired tabbies that would resemble “toy tigers”.

"The breeds creator, Judy Sudge - who is said to have stated the breed was developed in order to inspire people to care about the conservation of tigers in the wild - noticed some distinctively marked kittens amongst a litter she’d bred. The kittens displayed markings in an area on the head that would usually be devoid of them, and it was these markings that first inspired the idea of a tiger-like tabby. The next stage was to import a Tom with similar markings, which she did, in the shape of a feral cat found on the streets of India. Now that the head markings were achieved, the quest began to create the circular face patterns, also displayed by Tigers. The breeder then went on to bring the Bengal cat into the mix, in order to create a 'big-cat body'"

Well basically everyone, The Toyger, even as cute and as good 'tiger-looking' face, they are just a genetically modified cat. In my opinion, the creation  of toyger proved that how strong man internal desire to pet a tiger. I kinda don't like the idea of genetically modified cat, well... its just opposed the million years of evolution in just a few decades you know. Here I'm just expressing my opinion, Isn't it time for us to say that it is enough and stop trying to become god.

The current toygers, as they said, still has flaws with them. The coat is quite impressive, with its vibrant color, velvety glitter and distinctive markings, but the face is still very much resembling a cross between a Bengal and a domestic cat, which is disappointing. With personalities very similar to many other domestic breeds, there’s simply very little yet to define the Toyger, certainly not enough to justify the heavy prices often charged for a well-marked kitten. In the future, they want even more....., round the ears, widen the nose-bridge, smaller eyes, a cheek ruff, and a white chest in order to create the perfect tiger.

Anyway, if you ask me, I'm a person who loves cat created perfectly by nature. No human intervention, no human innovations, everything is natural. Let the mother nature decide. By mating cats, breeding them for beauty and exhibition, they may be beautiful but inside, we don't know if the cat may carries genetically inherited disease. A disease that could cause them more suffering than happiness. My heart ache just thinking about it. This article is just me saying my opinion and not to judge anyone. If you got your own opinion, I would gladly to hear your comment.
