Ok, I am now hating.
Having to explain to my wife why I want to spend $500 on a damn Bengal cat is going to take some work.
I’m not a HUGE cat person, but those things are GORGOUS!
Don’t underestimate the power of Barry White.
Hmmm…I don’t think bears roll that way.
Ze goggles - ze do nozzing! :eek:
I’m with ya.
They sound adorable too.
Or you could go for the less expensive ocicat.
We have a Ocicat/brown tabby cross and he is one of the coolest cats we’ve ever known.
…bred for their skills in magic.
You can always tell her $500 is a bargain. One of the kittens frm our last litter sold for £1000 (~$2000). 
They are also great fun and wonderful pets. Many (like ours) love water and will join you in the shower or dip their paws in the bath water and their water dishes.
Generally they come as spotted, “marbled” (looking something like a cinnamon bun) and “snow tiger” which are almost white with fainter spots.
Purebred Bengals should have spots on their belly, the bottoms of their feet are black, they all have a black tip on their tails. They are heavily muscled (our males weight 13 lbs and 15 lbs).
They are great pets, and some breeders may sell as low as $300 if you guarantee not to breed or show them. Don’t ever buy one (or any cat) from a pet store.
Oh, yeah, much better to get two at the same time, as they are a hoot wrestling and chasing each other through the house. What the heck, $1000 a couple of cats? Cheap at twice the price. 
Actually, of the dozens of cats we’ve had over the years, this is the first time we ever bought any, but no regrets a’tall!
I used to work with someone whose girlfriend’s mother had an animal that they referred to as “the cabbit.” This animal was supposed to be a cross between a domestic cat and a rabbit. The backstory was something about how the only possible animal the cat could possibly have mated with was this particular rabbit (I don’t remember all the details). The “cabbit” had soft fur like and large feet like a rabbit, was in other ways was like a cat. (Again, I don’t remember all the details.)
Before you gang up on me – my friend was an intelligent and reasonably skeptical person, and was thoroughly convinced that this was a cat-rabbit cross.
Sp my question is, has anyone here heard of such a thing?
You can buy a “pet quality” bengal, with no breeding rights for $200 or so.
Ocicats and Bengals look alike to a degree, but the tempement is different.
**
ratatoskK** no sorry. No “cabbits”. Impossible to breed one. However, some cats do have pelts much like those of a rabbit. Cats already have rather large hind feet.
Impossible. Or, as possible as this. The evolutionary lines leading to cats and rabbits split about 75M years ago.
Never heard of that, but here in AZ we have Jackalopes (cross between a jack rabbit and an antelope.) They are rare, but many sightings have been recorded.
Your link did not work.
Try this–
Yeah, right. And Maine coon cats are a cross between a cat and a raccoon :rolleyes:
Or you could read post #10. 
Not as an actual crossbreed; but Manx cats are sometimes thought to be “cabbits” since 1) they have big hind legs 2)small/non-existant/stumpy tails and 3) they kind of hop when they walk or run. It’s just an adaptation to the lack of a tail. There are no known true cat/rabbit crosses, and the prospect seems pretty unlikely.
Hmmm, so house cats couldn’t crossbreed with big cats. So, is the small cat/big cat divide the only thing to worry about? I mean, is it that small cats can breed with small cats, and big cats can breed with big cats, but small cats can’t breed with big cats? Of course, by big and small cats I’m referring to the 2 categories of cats, not cats by size. What’s the deal?
That’s interesting, and it describes the “cabbit.” Perhaps the parent was part Manx, or the “cabbit” had Manx Syndrome, described in your link.
This thread provides information on current classifications of cats. As has been mentioned there, although “big cats” in the sense of the genus Panthera is a natural group, the term “small cats” has no taxonomic validity. Some cats that are not in the genus Panthera are more closely related to them than they are to other “small cats.”
While genetic distance is not the only factor determining whether two species can interbreed, there is a negative correlation between genetic distance and the likelihood of producing a viable hybrid. Therefore it is unlikely that all of the “small cats” can interbreed, since some of them are more distantly related than they are are to Panthera.
