And kittens in general are extremely active all the time :tongue2. Besides the Asian Wildcat blood, they were generally mixed with the more active Oriental breeds. She is very pretty and I suppose a lot of people would pay for that alone.Īs I said, Bengals are extremely smart and active kitties. But as long as you're happy, that's all that counts. Personally, unless the breeder had done all the proper health testing of the breeding cats and age-appropriate vet care for the kittens, I wouldn't pay anything beyond a few dollars for food and litter. Obviously, a mixed-breed isn't able to be shown (execpt in Household Pet) and should not be bred, but that's no different than a pet-quality purebred. And monetary value is determined only by what people are willing to pay. Curly ears are a very domesticated trait.Īny cat is priceless. But with those curly ears I don't think anyone will mistake her for a wildcat hybrid. Just don't go and tell anyone she has actual lynx in her, because that might be illegal, and just you saying so would be enough "proof" for them. Bengals are usually legal in most places (maybe not high-percentage hybrids, but the later generations) and Highland Lynx don't have any wild blood, so you should be safe as long as you make sure that's what you tell people.
Your vet wouldn't be the one taking her-they have an obligation to protect their clients' confidentiality-but if Animal Control were to believe that she's a wild hybrid they might. I think there's a way for scientists to determine if a cat has bobcat heritage, but I'm pretty sure it's not available to pet owners.Īs for whether they can take her away, that depends on the laws for your state. They probably wouldn't have therare breeds like Highland Lynx in their database even if they did exist, anyway. Even the dog breed DNA tests are extremely unreliable, and I don't think they even have them for cats yet. No, there's no way for a vet to take blood and tell what breed she is.
