1.) Ragdoll (of course! I raise them)
2.) Cornish Rex (my next breed i'm going to raise some day, I hope!)
3.) Ocicat (or any other wild looking thing, lol.... bengal, savanna, ect..)
4.) Scottish fold (they are so cool looking)
5.) Russian blue (love the color and eyes)

Can some one tell me what a toyger is? Never heard of one, not very familiar with too many cats, was kinda a dog person (until I got into raggies)

Toygers are a new breed that is trying to make a cat look like a miniature tiger. Bengals are used as well as moggies I believe to acheive this look. They still have a very tabby look about them but they have a clear definition of where they want the breed to go and a lot of the development has to do with the muzzle/head.

I think they are keeping it pretty wrapped up. I couldn't find many pictures either.

Isn't the Bombay supposed to look like a panther? I read it refered to as a Parlor panther.

The Bombay is the "palor panther" but a true black panther's spots still show through, which is what I gather is the ultimate goal with the Pantherette.

Not to be offensive or anything.

But when first started looking into cat owner ship, I picked up a copy of Cat Fancy and looked at all of the different breeds. And to my surpise, I honestly didn't like the way any of them looked, so I figured that that's why most cat owners don't have purebreeds unlike dog owners.

Then I saw the Bengal and fell in love, and till this day its the only cat that I would own.
