Cat + Tiger = Toyger

Enterprising cat breeder Judy Sudgen has made it her life’s mission to bring you a totally safe, pint size wild tiger that won’t feel like you have an SUV sitting on your lap and won’t rip half your face off when you try to feed it generic cat food. Although apparently still a few years off from version 1.0, Toyger 0.9bf3 Beta is still freakishly unique, with a more muscular build and dark stripes.

What with pet cloning, pet stuffing and pet freezing, all we need now is a whole new breed of household animals crossed with large, exotic mammals. Can’t wait to get my own Elepherret, Zebraweiler and Parrocheetah. Damn, the future is eeeee-xciting!

From an article on Life.com:

In an oak-shaded backyard 30 miles outside of L.A., Judy Sugden is conducting a tour of her secret genetics lab. The well-kept facility consists of several cabins built of plywood and fencing in which dozens of domestic cats nap, wrestle, prance, and preen. The cats flock toward visitors as they pass by, poking paws through their cages.
They’re striking creatures, more muscular than the average tabby, with reddish-amber fur set off by bold dark stripes. But to Sugden, they’re pieces of a puzzle—a collection of traits and tendencies from which she’s constructing a cat such as the world has never seen.
