We love hybrids! Not because they are wild, which they are not, nor because they are huge, which they aren´t, but because they have personalities and charm and are different! The Bengal is your personal living-room leopard, the Savannah is your long-limbed cuddly friend with just a hint of the high-jump. They are, for better or worse, cats, and you just have to love them. And if you don´t like cats, work on it. Life´s not complete without them.

(From left to right: Dazzledots Kool Surprise, thank you Sheila Love and Azana for this one; Leines, Norway; Titan (thanks, Jacky Bliss!) and a rose from Sissinghurst Gardens).

A great, big thank you to cat-people round the world who have helped and encouraged us: A1Savannahs, Azanabengals, Zallycats, Pureblissbengals and -savannahs, Kelams, Eriador-cats and all our other friends!
