The Toyger was founded by Judy Sugden of "EEYAAS Cattery" in the USA. The Toyger is the result of a cross between a striped DSH (Domestic Short Hair) and a STB (Standard Bengal Tabby) This resulted in a striped Cat which after many years of hard work resembles a 'Toy Tiger'.

 Toyger's are of medium size and have pelt and glitter like the Bengal.  Today's Toyger's have very good temperaments and are quiet robust and healthy Cats. 

The ideal colouring is an orange/tan background with dark stripes like that of a Tiger. The stripes are actually long rosettes and should not be uniform like a mackerel pattern but more like long random individual stripes.  The coat must be striped with no spotting.  The ears small and rounded, good solid bone structure and overall balance. The tail must have a black tip and any white lockets are deemed a fault. The ideal Toyger has a whitened tummy and white spectacles and chin. Ears should be small and rounded, eyes small and chin slightly protruding but not undershot in the jaw.

This new exciting breed is a work in progress with every generation improving on the last.

Toyger's have no hereditary health problems and are very robust and healthy Cats.

Life span 15 years plus.

Xquizit Cats are the only breeders of Toyger's in Australia.

Toyger's range in price from $1000 to $3000 depending on quality and colour. Breeding Toyger's $5000. Toygers
