\"\"I can\u2019t believe how many new cat breeds keep coming to the forefront. Have you ever heard of the Black Bengal? Wow! What a beauty.

Some say these are specialized needs<\/em> cats because they are so energetic.<\/p>\n

\"\"There\u2019s also another very interesting cat I don\u2019t recall hearing about. It\u2019s known as the California Spangled Cat. This cat is a cross between many breeds including the Abyssinian, a Siamese, American short hair, British, Shirt hair and Angora came about as an attempt to create a leopard-like domestic cat in order to raise awareness of wild leopard poaching for their pelts. And they priced them extremely high in order to fund projects to protect endangered species in South and Central America.<\/p>\n

The California Spangled Cat was first introduced through a Neiman Marcus Christmas catalog in 1986. They\u2019re so rare they are not recognized by any breeder association. Now these are good-natured cats that evidently make excellent pets. Se photos and learn more here: https:\/\/www.petguide.com\/breeds\/cat\/california-spangled\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n
