The Toyger kitten is a fascinating breed to discover. It's a domestic cat with no wild blood. His name comes from a contraction between "toy" and "tiger" since it looks like a toy tiger. However, it is important to specify that no hybridization has been made with a tiger. It was developed in 1980 by the American Judy Sugden, whose goal was to find in a domestic cat all the physical characteristics of the tiger without having wild blood. Originally, she began by selecting cats with specific marking. Then she introduced domestic Bengals (far from the first generations) to have fur with warmer colors and a big muscular body.The Toyger kitten was recorded in 1993 by the International Cat Association (TICA) as in "evaluation", and was accepted into the league in 2007. It has also been recognized by the LOOF (Official Book of Feline Origins) since January 2016. We are in the process of getting Toyger recognized by the Cats Canada Cats. The Toyger is a rare breed and there are still only a few breeders in the world.
