About the Toyger
Designed to look like a tiny tiger, developed from Bengal and domestic shorthair lines starting in the 1980s. The name joins toy and tiger. Broken mackerel striping, circular face markings, and a rolling gait complete the illusion. Fully domestic in temperament with zero wild blood.
