Is this a Bengal or a Moggy?

I thought pet shops weren't supposed to sell cats or dogs? And £70 for a Moggy! I'd much rather go to a rescue & pay them that amount for one than a pet shop who's not supposed to be selling them!

You see loads of moggies being sold for over £100, but I guess if people are willing to pay out that much then thats their business. I paid £450 for my Bengal, a lot of money for me and I so wanted a top quality one but they fetch over £1000 :eek:

So really it depends on the maximum you would pay out.

i paid £0 for my scrappy old war-torn Siamese - i was going to make a donation for him to Siamese Rescue, but since adopting him in September we discovered he needed a tooth removed...and if AXA don't pay out I am going to be lumbered with a bill for £350!!! (If AXA do pay out then I will donate something, obviously).

My other Siamese cost me £160 each back in 1996 (fully vaccinated). I would only adopt from rescues now though.

i can't believe people pay for moggies! there are thousands opf them in rescues who need homes.

This is My little Ralphie (not so little anymore) Like Kimberly says they don't shed any hair. Ralph is a lively and chatty cat. now he's a bit older he's started going an orangy colour under his chin and chest.

I would have to agree with Damanpunk, looks like a Bengal to me, and Ive kept different vareities for years! He looks like alot of the bengals from this generation, I also agree I wouldnt pay much for a cross,but you can definately tell he has some Bengal in him, I'm shocked to read some owners comments,as he clearly is marked and rosetted differently to your average moggy

Definately a Bengal,you can tell just by looking AT him! I've kept different varieties of Bengal now for some 15 yrs,and I'm really surprised at the amount of bengal owners saying he is nt a bengal,you can see stright away from his markings,golden orangey tinge,nose shape and rosettes,he may not be the most typey bengal ever,but I d categorically say he was one,but I wouldnt pay for a cross, why not visit a breed specific rescue centre in your area??

This thread is making me broody...I have a wee rescue moggy and an indoor rabbit and have been assured by hubby that my "family" is big enough

The photos are stunning, can't beat seeing a pretty kitty

well, seeing as you are already broody here are my two old boys then the newly adopted one is the choc-point on the left, he looks a bit scrappy for a Meezer doesn't he? :rotfl:
