Not to be confused with the more common striped mestizos, the Toyger cat sports a splendid coat that has little to envy to that of its much more fearsome wild cousin, the tiger. But also the character he wants his share: if this kitty is primarily known for his physical appearance, so will his personality?

As the name itself suggests, which comes from the union between Toy ("toy") and Tiger ("tiger"), this rather recent breed is the result of experiments by man in order to create a cat with unique and very different characteristics: an exotic look, not too imposing dimensions and above all a character perfect for home life.

We can confirm that the experiment was successful: the Toygers are cats calm and easy going who will know how to get along with anyone, even with strangers. They are comfortable with dogs and patient with children, and love to play with anyone who wants to spend time with them.

Play is a very important activity for them, as they are extremely animals intelligent who need to be mentally stimulated to avoid getting bored and maybe falling into some behavior that is not exactly pleasant to us humans, which however they adopt to attract our attention.

They love to play fetch and are happy to learn how to fetch, as well as to walking on a leash. Always try to spend some time a day playing with your Toyger, not just to allow him to let off some of his great energy but above all because by doing so your relationship with him will become more and more solid.

In fact, this cat has a personality that in some ways could be defined as canine “: Such is his ability to become attached to you, to the point of wanting to always be close to you; this applies to moments of relaxation on the sofa, but even when you walk around the house in the course of your daily activities you may find him intent on following you.

Speaking of the great energy with which he is endowed, it must be said that sometimes it is expressed with one frequent vocality, even at night. It is also advisable to keep it as a cat indoor, since if he gets along well with other pets, the same does not apply to stray cats, with whom he will not hesitate to fight.
