Cross-breed Cats

Cross-breed Cats

Cross-breed cats are from pedigree parents, but the parents are of different pedigree breeds. The Chinchilla is an example of a cross-breed cat which is a cross between the Angora and the Persian.

These types of cats are generally hardier than pedigrees, although it does depend on the genetics of the parents. Cross-breeds are less expensive than pedigrees and if you know what the parents are like, it is a good indicator of what to expect in terms of appearance and character.

If you want a specific cross breed, it might not always be available and certain combinations of breeds can be problematic such as a cross between a Siamese and a Burmese – both are highly demanding and vocal breeds and this might be more than you are willing to handle.
