Talk:Toyger

Designer breed
The toyger is a designer breed. Do we have a template or category for that? Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 03:56, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

References need to be corrected
I see a few editors have been plugging away over time on this article. I thought I should point out the the reference sections is currently mislabled. References should be formatted as inline citations of fact that support the statements made in the article and not merely links to external sites on the subject. If those links are indeed supporting a fact, they need to be reformatted as an inline cite right after the fact they support. As it stands right now, the reference section should be re-titled as External Links but that would then likely lead to some other editor tagging the article as unsourced and therefore worthy of deletion. I'm leaving things as is to prevent any such moves. I will try and come back and discover which link supports what fact and reformat the links myself but in the evnt that I don't, please feel free to do it yourself.LiPollis 20:04, 19 October 2007 (UTC) Uh, guys?

Coloration
as I understand it, domestic cats' pigmentation gene is on the X chromosome, presumably unlike tigers, so only females could ever truly be orange with black stripes.. males would have to settle for orange with dark orange stripes, right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.70.113 (talk) 04:11, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Maybe something should be added about the health of this breed. I work in a large veterinary hospital and I see a lot of these guys from different breeders. I don't know if they're all of the same lineage, but these cats seem horribly inbred. They have some awful problems, including tear duct and nose problems. Even worse though are the brain abnormalities. I've seen MRI after MRI of these guys and one thing I've learned from the toyger breed is that it's amazing how little brain (in terms of size and missing parts) you actually need in order to function. I like purebred cats, but what some (I can't say all) of these breeders are doing to the toygers is awful... and just to get rounded ears and a fuller mouth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.94.122 (talk) 01:20, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
