Hi Nora... thanks for introducing me to the Mokave Jag Cat.

I would like briefly, if I may to try and summarize this cat breed on this page. People can visit your website for more details. Please leave a comment if you wish to add or adjust.

This is a cat breed in development, the process having commenced in 2000. It is a wildcat hybrid originally carefully combining the genes of the Asian leopard cat, the jungle cat (Felis Chaus) and the Bobcat with the domestic cat with the intention of creating a miniature jaguar. The overall appearance is a reflection of the jaguar, one of the big cats whose range is in Central and South America.

This has been achieved by selective breeding of: Highland Lynx, Desert Lynx, jungle cat and Asian leopard cat hybrids.

The resultant domestic cat is large and substantial, weighing up to 28 pounds, with a long lifespan of between fifteen to twenty years.

The Mokave Jag Cat has a wide range of coat colours including the classic rosetted (spotted) wild cat look and also including snows, classic tabbies and black, which I presume to be a melanistic coat.

The classic eye colour is emerald green or gold. The eye colour changes as the cat matures.

Temperament is excellent: friendly and intelligent.
