Breed of the Week: California Spangled Cat

Like the Bengal, the California Spangle Cat is an "engineered" breed, which came to being from much the same intent: to publicize the cause of wild cats killed for their pelts. Unlike the Bengal, however, there is no wild stock in the genetic makeup of the California Spangled cat. This breed with the wild look was developed with a carefully planned program, using existing breeds selected for appearance as well as personality, and augmented with "street cats" from Cairo and Malaya.
