There are no common disorders reported for the Toyger breed at present. However, because the Bengal breed was used to develop the Toyger, it is recommended that DNA testing for pyruvate kinase deficiency and progressive retinal atrophy is carried out to test whether or not a cat has the potential to be affected by these conditions.
Toygers are exceptionally sociable, getting on well with respectful children, and other cats and dogs. They are indeed, by design a family friendly cat, and breeders have worked hard to ensure only cats of excellent temperament have been used in the Toyger creation.
The Toyger is also an intelligent and active cat, who is confident and outgoing. This does mean they will make their feelings known if they feel they’re lacking attention or have been able to see the bottom of the food bowl for several minutes.
