Description

The Chausie is a hybrid breed using the Jungle Cat as its wild ancestor. It is a large, muscular, graceful cat with a three-quarters-length tail and a wild look, though not a wild temperament. The well-bred Chausie is a sweet-natured cat, though extremely active, intelligent, and curious; they need plenty of playtime and toys to keep their active minds and paws busy.

The Chausie is currently accepted in black, brown ticked tabby, and silver tipped colors. Ear tufts are highly desirable. They should be long and lean, not cobby or thick-bodied, with boning sufficient to carry the cat without making them seem chunky.
