Breed traits and characteristics

Toygers are affectionate, medium-sized designer cats with a short, striped coat that resembles a tiger. These cats are similar to their big cat cousins in pattern, movement, and confidence. Toygers are indeed a call of the wild right in your own house with their dramatic stripy, glittery coat on a solid orange or reddish-brown background. If you are searching for an exotic-looking cat with an easy-going, gentle demeanour, the Toyger could be the breed for you.

These mini tigers are approachable and outgoing cats that thrive on human companionship. As a new cat breed, the Toyger is still in development as cat breeders work to duplicate the colours and patterns of a tiger with ever-increasing precision. Tigers are, sadly, an endangered species in the wild, and many Toyger breeders are also concerned with preserving the majestic wild species that these cats were created to look like.

The beautiful and enchanting Toyger is highly intelligent and trainable. They can run agility courses, play a game of fetch, and walk on a leash or harness. These active cats will continuously entertain both children and adults but rarely annoy or tire you. Because of their intelligence, it’s important to keep their minds stimulated by teaching new tricks, offering varied puzzle toys, and through regular interaction. An exercise wheel is a good choice for Toygers to keep them entertained and to help them maintain a healthy weight.

Toygers love to be part of the family. They enjoy human attention and want to be wherever their owners are. They can be left alone for short periods because they have an independent streak. However, they are happiest when fully involved in everyday family life. If you put the effort in, your Toyger will become the most affectionate, loyal feline companion you’ll ever have.

10 reasons to add a Toyger to your family

Ever dreamed of having a mini tiger stalking your home? Then the Toyger could be the breed for you. These cats will attract attention wherever they go with their plush, glittery fur and tiger-like appearance.

These cats are almost dog-like in their ability to understand commands and learn tricks. In fact, regular mental stimulation is essential for this breed to prevent boredom.

Toyger cats love company whether that’s their beloved owners, children, or other pets. They will rarely ever shy away from a fuss and generally get along well with everyone, no matter their age or breed.

Toygers have very short coats which means they only need a brush once a week to keep their gorgeous coats in good condition.

These cats can easily adapt to a wide variety of living environments from apartments to large houses, as long as they get all the attention they require. Their laid-back attitude makes them great companions for individuals and families alike.

Looking for a vocal companion to entertain you at the end of a long day? A Toyger will happily tell you all about their day whilst lavishing you with attention.

Toygers thrive on human companionship. They will want to be wherever you are whether that’s cooking dinner in the kitchen or entertaining the kids in the lounge. These cats never shy away from people and love a bit of fun!

Toygers are active cats that love to play games with the family! They will entertain kids for hours with their silly antics and bouts of the ‘zoomies’. Due to their intelligence, they can be trained to play a variety of games including fetch, just like a dog!

When a Toyger receives regular love and affection, they can become the most attentive and loving cat you will ever own! They love a good snuggle on the sofa and will want to be with you every minute of the day.

Looking for a quirky feline companion that will happily join you in the bath? Unlike most cats, Toygers seem to love water so they will happily bat at a dripping faucet for hours or dive into paddling pools on a hot day. This is a very entertaining and endearing trait of the unique Toyger breed.

Meet the Toyger

The Toyger is famed for its glittered fur and mackerel vertical markings that resemble those of a tiger. The International Cat Association describes these cats as having dark broken markings on a vividly orange background on the top portions of the cat. The undersides and insides are paler, enhanced by a glitter coating over the entire coat.

These are short-haired cats with a muscular body and big-boned, high-set shoulders. They also have deep chests, muscular legs, and a very lean appearance. Their tails are long and rounded at the tip.

Toygers have long, broad, wedge-shaped heads and heart-shaped muzzles, with prominent whisker pads and small, rounded ears. Their eyes are relatively small compared to the size of the head and slightly slanted. Eye colours range from hazel to dark brown or they can be green or golden.

Currently, the only recognised coat colour of this breed is brown mackerel tabby. However, snow mackerel tabbies are also available. Refinement for this breed is still ongoing as breeders try to perfect the tiger pattern even further.

The temperament of a Toyger

Despite their wild appearance, Toygers are gentle, playful, social, and affectionate. This makes them a great choice for families with children or other pets. Toygers love to be involved in everyday life with their beloved human companions. They are also highly intelligent so they tend to adore clicker training and can be taught to perform a range of tricks from ‘sit’ to retrieving toys. While they do enjoy curling up on their favourite person’s lap, these are energetic cats that need regular entertainment to prevent boredom in the form of games, training, or fuss. They are also great athletes so consider adding a tall cat post or cat shelves to your home so they can stretch those muscles.

Unlike most cat breeds, Toygers have an affinity for water. So, expect them to be investigating the dripping tap or diving into a full bathtub! Just make sure you keep an eye on your feline companion to stop them from getting into mischief.

These cats are generally laid-back by nature, so they fit into most lifestyles. While they can be left alone for short periods, these cats prefer to be around people. Otherwise, they can become destructive and bored. Entertain your Toyger regularly with puzzles, interactive toys, and even outdoor access for extra stimulation. Toygers are generally very accepting of lead training so you can take your young feline out for a walk. The other alternative is to install an enclosed, outdoor catio so your kitty can enjoy watching the birds and exercise their hunting instincts.

Best homes for a Toyger

Toygers are very social by nature, so they are best suited to homes where someone is around for most of the day. If left alone for long periods, they can become very vocal and destructive. However, because they are so social, these cats do well around children and other cats, as well as cat-friendly dogs. Saying that, it's still best to supervise all interactions between your Toyger and other pets and children to prevent any mishaps.

Toygers are energetic cats, however, it's still best for them to be indoors only as their adventurous streak and athletic abilities can get them into trouble! Furthermore, their stunning appearance can make them a target for thieves. Toygers need plenty of mental and physical stimulation to remain happy so make sure you have the time to devote to their needs. Training is a great way to stave off boredom because Toygers are incredibly intelligent and enjoy the mental stimulation that comes with regular training.

Burmilla Shorthairs are medium-sized cats that reach a weight of 6 to 13 pounds and grow to be 10 to 12 inches tall. They have muscular bodies, a sturdy structure and slender legs. Shorthairs have a short double-layer coat that feels soft and silky to the touch. Their fur can come in various colours, but the silver-tipped shading is the most common by far. Other possible colours and patterns include black, blue, brown, cream, lilac, red, or tortoiseshell.

They have regular-sized ears with a slight forward tilt, but their most distinctive facial feature is undoubtedly their eyes. Burmilla Shorthairs have amazing black rimming around their eyes (and also their nose), which makes these glamorous felines look like they are wearing thick eyeliner. In addition, most Burmillas have striking green eyes, which, combined with the black rimming, make them stand out from afar.

As Burmillas are a cross between a long hair and a short hair breed, some will have semi-long coats, known as Burmilla Longhairs. However, as the shorthair gene is most dominant, most Burmillas have silky, short hair. This fur rarely sheds, and most Burmilla Shorthairs keep their coats in top condition themselves, but you can help by brushing them once a week.

FAQs about the Toyger

Shockingly, there are still a number of kitten and puppy mills running in the UK, despite them being illegal. These establishments are simply out to make money and often have low animal welfare standards. Here at the Pedigree Paws, we stand against these unethical businesses, which is why we only work with the very best licensed breeders in the UK and Europe who uphold the best standards of animal welfare.
So, if you buy from us, you know you will have a happy, healthy kitten that has received the utmost care and attention.

The Toyger is the perfect combination of a stunning wild tiger appearance and a gentle, friendly temperament. Famed for their glittery fur of bold mackerel markings on a vivid orange background, this breed is fun-loving, affectionate, and confident. This makes them highly adaptable to a range of environments from apartments to large houses, as long as they receive all the attention and stimulation they need.
These cats are also highly intelligent, so they love the mental stimulation that comes with clicker training. Toygers thrive on human companionship and adore playing games with the family as well as curling up on your lap at the end of a long day.
These cats are high-energy and expert climbers. So, make sure you have the time to devote to their needs. These cats are best suited to homes where someone is around for most of the day. In addition, a tall cat tree, cat shelves, or even an enclosed catio will help to keep these cats stimulated, as well as interactive puzzles and games. Unlike other cat breeds, Toygers love water, so expect them to be constantly inspecting the dripping tap or even attempting to join you in the shower!
These cats should be kept indoors only because their natural curiosity and athleticism can often get them into trouble. Their stunning appearance also makes them a target for thieves. However, due to their intelligence, they can successfully be trained to walk outdoors on a lead and harness.
Toygers are social by nature, so they get along well with people of all ages, including children. They also get along well with other cats and cat-friendly dogs. In fact, they may prefer to have another fluffy companion in the home.

We pride ourselves on being trustworthy, reliable, and transparent. We only work with the very best breeders in the industry who raise all their puppies and kittens in their own homes. This will reassure you that you will be receiving a healthy kitten. But don’t just take our word for it. Why not check out our testimonials from other happy customers to see for yourself?
We guarantee that all our kittens are treated with the very best care and have been appropriately weaned before being rehomed.

Yes definitely. All of our kittens are given full check-ups by a licensed vet before being rehomed. We also ensure they have been microchipped, dewormed, and vaccinated so you don’t have to worry about these things.
Toygers are a new breed in the domestic cat world. So, experts have yet to determine the health conditions these animals are predisposed to. However, heart murmurs do seem to be common in Toygers which can lead to more detrimental health issues further down the line. Because of this, we make sure that all of our kittens come from parents that have been DNA checked. We also DNA check the kittens themselves in order to detect any underlying health issues. If the results come out clear, you will know you have a healthy companion that you can lavish with attention for years to come!
Furthermore, we know that early weaning is harmful to a kitten's health. So, we prefer all our kittens to stay with their mother and siblings until they are at least 10-13 weeks of age.

Of course! In fact, we recommend that you do. We will facilitate a video call between you and the breeder so you can see your kitten with their mother/parents and siblings. During this call, you will also have the opportunity to chat with the breeder and ask any questions.

All of our kittens come with certification documents from internationally recognised cat associations, such as TICA, GCCF, and FIFe. The exact registration will depend on the location of the breeder.

Yes, we choose our breeders via a comprehensive selection process to ensure we only work with the very best. All our breeders are passionate about animal welfare and raise their animals in their own homes. Furthermore, we only work with breeders that work to the highest standards of animal welfare set out by internationally recognised cat associations.
So, you can rest assured that you will get a well-socialised, properly weaned, and well-cared for Toyger kitten if you purchase from us.

It’s so exciting to know that you are getting a new kitten. So, we understand that you will be eager to meet him/her! However, early weaning is detrimental to the health of kittens, so we recommend that they stay with their mother and siblings until they are 10-13 weeks old. That said, you will have the opportunity to discuss the exact timescale with the breeder.

Toygers are social and confident by nature. But, like all kittens, they can be nervous and unsure in new surroundings. It’s important that you offer reassurance to your kitten whilst also allowing them the time they need to adjust to their new home.
Here are a few more ways you can help your new kitten to settle in:
Firstly, we recommend that you ask the breeder for a blanket or towel with their mother's scent on it. Cats rely heavily on their impressive sense of smell, so the scent of the mother will go a long way towards helping your kitten feel safe and secure.
When your kitten first arrives, you should only give them access to one room to prevent them from feeling overwhelmed. Once they appear to be comfortable, you can then introduce them to other rooms, people, and other pets. Remember to always do introductions slowly and don’t be afraid to go back a step if your kitten seems unsure, especially if any aggression is shown by either party.
