A New Breed of Cat?
UPDATE (8-17-18) so, approx. DOB June 11, 2018
He is now RESERVED.
This unique fellow has peaked alot of interest.
(Bengal x Japanese Bobtail)
So much so,
that he may be used in a future breeding program
as a foundation breeder
in developing a new breed.
We did extensive research
in breeds patterned after cats in the wild
and realized what a nice mix he is
with notable unique traits
that other "domestic wild cat breeds"
aren't offering, yet.
Some such qualities are
listed in a letter to a couple of cat registries
(TICA, and Rare and Exotic Feline Registry)
of which an excerpt of my email the them is printed below:
"The existing bobtail breeds of cats
some of which are:
Pixie- bobs
Am Lynx
Desert Lynx ...
are not as nice
in their spots/rosettes
nor as clear coated
as this outcrossed kitten.
Since the Bengal originated to mimic the wild Asian Leopard Cat
but has evolved into beauty far surpassing
why not go with a bobbed tail version?
The advantages of the Japanese Bobtail vs. a Manx,
which was often used in the outcrossing
in many of the "domestic wild cat breeds"
to obtain a short tail,
are many which include advantages such as:
a longer body frame
higher back leg
clearer coat
softer coat (no undercoat)
possible blue eyes
less health issues associated with the Manx back end
like spina bifida, anal, shorter back, etc.
no bunny hopping but natural cat gaits
a consistantly 3" tail
versus a range of lengths that come with a Manx mix (rider to hock length)"
It was suggested that to help a new breed launch
that a club of like-minded cat fanciers
would be formed
such that progeny would have a larger genetic pool
for breeding future generations...
So, let us know if you might be one of those people.
