I want a Cheetoh cat

[Anubis]

$800 for a cat, people truly are idiots.

800$ is nothing

some breeds cost 8k and more

Cool looking cat, love the markings

Over here they're called Bengals, and they're pretty expensive.

They're supposed to be similar to Bengals, but with a less high-strung / more lap-cat temperament.

Ok that's either a 'chop or a regular tabby painted to look like a cheetah? It looks like Morris The Cat had sex with a Cheetah. If that's an actual breed I want one too cos that shit looks hilarious.

thats nothin

 

[Anubis]

that a Savannah?

According to the link, these are half bengal.

What kind of cat is a Cheetoh?

The Cheetoh comes from the crossing of specific registered cats from the Ocicat breed and specific registered cats from Bengal breed. The Cheetoh has true jungle linage from the Asian Leopard cat and is a very muscular cat that is athletic, graceful and lithe. The Cheetoh has a stalking, low-shouldered walk that is common both in the Ocicat and the wild jungle cats, but is not typically exhibited in other domestic cats. The spotted and/or rosetted spotted appearance with the large eyes and ears, enhances this distinctive wild look. The coat of the Cheetoh, sleek and shiny, is another of its distinguishing attributes. The fur is very short and thick, yet soft and velvety and is quite similar in nature to the fur of the jungle cats.

Holy shitburgers that's a big cat.

Wow some cool looking cats in this thread... makes me want one, but that price tag seems so high when there are needy cats at the local SPCA that I can pick up for free.

 

[CRXican]

srsly, you people haven't heard of Bengals?

We rescued a marble bengal for a little while. He turned out to be too much of a bully for our other domestic cats though, so we found him a nice home where he can be lavished with attention as the only cat.

Yeah, nothing in their physical description really sets it apart from the standard bengal though. Many breeders create their F1 bengal line from ocicat + asian leopard cat in the first place. I think, as another poster mentioned, the big difference is temperament and more inclination be to be lap cat. If they're good lap cats, chances are they're also much more relaxed generally (or maybe mine is just a spaz).

$800 for any normal household pet is ridiculous.

Where did that info come from?

I think my mom spent something close to that for our "Labradoodle".

I told her she was fuckin stupid.

800$ is nothing

some breeds cost 8k and more

I spent 2k on my dog... couldn't be happier with him

When you say rescued, do you mean one was available at the local SPCA / pet shelter or did you get it from someone you know?

Got it from someone we know. The owners contacted our breeder who put out an email SOS. Their next stop was the pound.

I want one of these cats.

Exactly; people spend thousands on dogs, but to pay $800 for a cat, some how that's just seen as insane.

 

[Newbian]

Looks like we found longcat ...

Bengals and Cheetohs are different as are Toygers. I was looking into getting one of those three, but decided I wanted a British Bulldog instead only to find out my landlords wife doesn't want a dog in the condo

 

[Sho'Nuff]

Toygers are cooler

[sjwaste]

Interesting...specifically a bengal/ocicat cross. I have a bengal. Rambunctious as hell.

Here's him wrestling with our friend's 100+ lbs GSD.

That's a cool looking cat. A friend of mine has one. It mostly avoids strangers and is really noisy. Hilarious.

You sure that GSD is 100 lbs though? That's rather large for that breed.

 

[bfdd]

sjwaste, I'm honestly not that surprised. For some reason I've seen a lot of really big GSDs lately. One of my ex's friends has a HUGE dog. He's easily over 100lbs and not overweight for his size.

 

[Ika]

I'd definitely pay $800 for such a beautiful cat. IMO Bengals are one of the coolest looking cats, period.

 

[Blueoak]

Ooooh.. an exotic cat thread. Here's a pic of my Brown Marbled Bengal.

 

[Quasmo]

Then just have it declaued.

*groan*

How much do you spend for a set of golf clubs? :hmm:

well, I spend $0 for golf clubs b/c golf is gay....

but I also would not pay $800 for a cat. ...but I thought those were more expensive?

Those toyger cats can cost $2,000, I think? D:
