California Spangled Cat | alifornia Spangled Cat | | ountry of origin | | a href="/encyclopedia/United-States" title="United States">United States | | reed standards (external links) | | TICA | The California Spangled Cat is a breed of cat. They were bred to resemble spotted wildcats, like the endangered species ocelot and leopard. They are a rare cat breed, and usually expensive, priced between $800 to $2500. They were originally bred in the 1980s. Inspired by the poaching death of a leopard, the anthropologist, Louis Leakey, motivated Paul Casey to breed a domestic cat resembling a small leopard, and that this would emphasize how important it is to preserve the leopard. California Spangled Cats are a crossbreed of many strains of cat. Despite their wild appearance, they are completely domestic. External links
