The toyger is a breed of domestic cat, the result of breeding domestic shorthaired tabbies (beginning in the 1980s) to make them resemble a "toy tiger"
The Toyger is a massive, incredibly athletic, and breathtakingly exotic breed purposely developed in the 1980s by crossing Bengal cats with striped domestic shorthairs to look exactly like a wild "toy tiger." They are a highly sought-after, wildly popular cat breed for their stunning, bold mackerel stripes.
Despite their imposing, wild appearance, the Toyger is famously described as a "gentle giant." They are incredibly affectionate, highly intelligent, and remarkably dog-like, often learning to walk on a leash. Fierce, jungle-inspired cat names are incredibly popular for them. Essential pet care for a Toyger involves providing absolutely massive amounts of daily exercise and very tall climbing structures to prevent destructive boredom.
