Layanese: Tonkinese / Himalayan
I think you need to check your facts more carefully. This is not a wild hybrid!
Tonkinese is an intermediate between the Siamese and Burmese. Himalayan is the colourpointed version of the Persian cat. Both parents are domestic breeds, not wildcats.
There is also no such breed as the Oncicat; sounds like someone is inventing names for the sake of it. The only 3 surviving oncilla/Aby hybrids all proved sterile and could not be bred.
Layanese: Tonkinese / Himalayan
This is not a wild hybrid. The Tonkinese is a relative of the Siamese & Burmese. The Himalayan is a colourpoint Persian. This is a wholly domestic breed.
There is no such breed as the Oncicat. The 3 surviving oncilla/Aby hybrids (all female) were sterile. They were never develped as a breed and no breed name was assigned.
I have a Layanese male just turned one yr old, very vocal and loving. I am looking to find him a Layanese girlfriend.. though have been unsucessfull sofar. If anyone has a girl for sale pls email me at primetimethenwot@yahoo.com
I think there are have also been attempts to produce an Ocelot / domestic hybrid (actually I may have read that on Messybeast’s website). However, no firm evidence as yet, athough the crossing is thought to be possible. Given that Ocelots themselves seem to make good pets (Salvidor Dali had one), the results of a crossing should be quite pet suitable!
I am looking for a jungle curl to buy or a curl ear bigger cat. does anyone know how I can find a breeder who sells them?
I have been breeding Layanese cats for two years now, and currently have a litter of four for sale at the momment. Yes Layanese are a still a new designer breed, but they are by far one of the most affectionate cats you will ever own. The sooner they become a recognised breed the better.
Hi Cassie, I have a 4yo male Layanese and he is the most beautiful cat, he has an amazing nature, is affectionate, can be playful, is just a delight to own. I would love to touch base with you as I think this will be a breed to watch – regardless of what people say about their heritage – hey, we came from convicts!!
