Most Expensive Cats

The majority of us cat owners purchased our feline friends for less than 100$, and in many cases free of charge.
It's no lie that in some parts of the country, a cat...is a dime a dozen,
but the cats im about to show you are anything but..

THE MOST EXPENSIVE

Ashera (hybrid feline & hypoallergenic)
*a result of breeding the African Surval and the Asian Leopard cat with a domestic cat*

Weighing in at an astonishing 30lb and towering at 3.3feet (on hind legs) these feline hybrids are the size of some dogs!
Photobucket
Price to own : $22,000-$28,000


Savannah(hybrid feline)
*a result of breeding a domestic cat and the African Serval*

Cost varies due to the age, pattern and how close the kitten is to the original crossing.
The most expensive contains at least 50% serval. That can set you back $22,000.
Price to own : $22,000 for 50% serval or $950 to $7,000




Bengal (hybrid feline)
*result of breeding domestic feline and an Asian Leopard Cat*
ONCE PURCHASED FOR $42,000!!
Photobucket
This breed of feline holds the record for the most money ever spent on a cat! Way back in 1998 an English woman by the name of Cindy Jackson bought her Bengal cat "Furr ball" for $42,000!!
According to Wiki~ there are only 60,000 in the world
Price to own :$970 – $4000


The Sphynx (Mutation Feline)
Photobucket
Why the loss of hair?? Anecdotal evidence shows that hairless cats have been the results of natural mutation that occurs in the cat population every 15-20 years.
Price to own :$300 to $3000


The Peterbald (Mutation Feline)
Photobucket
This is another hairless breed of cat developed in St. Petersburg in the 1980's.
Peterbalds are sweet-tempered, affectionate, peaceful, curious, smart and energetic. Some are born with hair, but end up going bald!
Price to own :$250 to $3000.
