California Spangled History
This beautiful cat is the result of an illusion of the writer and fan of these animals Paul Casey. In the early 1970s Casey visited Africa and saw the situation of cheetahs and other cats, which were already poached by then for their beautiful, spotted fur. So, he decided Create a Spotted House Cat in order to raise awareness of the need for conservation of the wildcat.
Thus, he used only domestic cats, such as the Abyssinian, the American and British shorthair cat, Siamese, and the spotted cats of Egypt and Malaysia to start a breeding program that would end, in 1986, with a beautiful cat that would remind us of a miniature cheetah.
Although it arouses interest, and in fact it is a breed that is registered in the International Feline Association (TICA), unfortunately it is very difficult to find it, and when it is finally achieved, you have to pay a significant amount of money.
