Temperament
Toygers are friendly, outgoing, and highly adaptable. They love being around people, including children and other pets, and are often described as having dog-like personalities. Curious and smart, they’re quick learners and respond well to leash training, puzzle toys, and games like fetch.
Grooming and Care
The Toyger’s short, plush coat requires minimal grooming—just a quick brush once a week to keep it sleek. They’re an active breed, so providing them with climbing structures, interactive toys, and daily playtime is key to keeping them physically and mentally satisfied.
History and Origin
The Toyger was developed in the 1980s by breeder Judy Sugden with the goal of creating a domestic cat that mimicked the appearance of a tiger. Through careful breeding using Bengal cats and domestic shorthairs with unique tabby markings, the Toyger was born. It remains one of the most visually unique and intentionally designed cat breeds today.
