A sabre-toothed cat that looks like a tiger is proving a hit in the urban jungle.
According to the Daily Telegraph, the breed, known as a Toyger (yes really), is now fetching up to £2,500 a kitten. But fear not, its growl is worse than its bite.
The cat, which has orange and black stripes like a tiger, has been bred "to resemble and behave like the jungle predator but having the same nature as a domestic pet cat", writes the Express, which adds that "this moggy would much rather get stuck into a bowl of Whiskas than terrorise your living room".
The Mirror says: "The Toyger enjoys swimming and can be trained to fetch a stick like a dog." So I suppose if you have ever dreamed of owning a pussycat that looks like a tiger and acts like a dog, this should be right up your street.
