Today I just learned about a relatively new breed of cat (originating in the 1960s) called a "Bengal cat." Apparently, they are a hybrid that was originally created by breeding a species of wild cat with domesticated cats in order to give them an exotic coat similar to a leopard or a jaguar. They are so cute, I want one! I bet they're expensive though...
I found out that there are a couple of related breeds that are bred to resemble other wild cats, like the Ocicat and the Cheetoh. However, the coolest of the offshoot breeds has got to be the Toyger!
Don't you just want to give 'em a squeeze? =^.^=
