American cat fanciers have been falling for this newly acredited breed of domestic short hair.  Still rare, one breeding dam was reportedly purchased in 2004 for over $20,000.  Males have been less costly, though still beyond the reach of the casual collector.

For centuries, the poor peasants of Andalusia have used these working cats to kill birds and other game.  In North America, they've turned their attention to mice, gophers and rabbits.  Not for the faint of heart.

Prevented from stalking and consuming their normal diet of wild and living food, these proud animals will pine.
