In today's video, we are going to look at a cat breed, that surprisingly enough, sounds like it got its name out of a famous junk food.

The Cheetoh Cat.

Cheetohs aren’t just junk food anymore, they’re a new breed of cat! The Cheetoh was created by mixing Ocicats and Bengals, and the result was this stunning creature. Cheetohs were recognized by the United Feline Organization in 2004.

The Cheetoh’s parent breeds are the Ocicat and the Bengal, which is actually a direct descendant of the wild Asian Leopard Cat. These two breeds were crossed in 2001 by a breeder named Carol Drymon. She was hoping to create a new feline, that would display the physical characteristics of a wild cat, and the gentleness of a housecat. The plan was successful, and the Cheetoh is roughly eight generations removed from wild cats.

Despite their good looks and great personality, however, Cheetohs are still rare compared to other breeds, particularly because this is a fairly new breed.

The Cheetoh cat has a super affectionate nature, and real love for their human companions; they are intelligent with the ability to learn quickly. Their amazing coat pattern consists of lots of spots and a few stripes for good measure, replicating the look of their wild counterparts, the cheetah. They hold the distinctive characteristics of both their founding breeds, the Ocicat and Bengal. However, the head is slightly chiseled and the ears are more prominent than the Bengal. They walk with a lower front stance and higher at the back.  They are a generously sized cat. With males being more muscular with thick necks and solid bodies, that can be up to 7 kilograms when fully grown. The female has a slightly smaller frame, but is still a good size when compared to the average moggy.

You can expect that a Cheetoh will be a fun-loving kitty who enjoys playing, running, and jumping through every room in your house. When they aren’t exercising and letting out their energy, though, these cats will calm down and be ready for some snuggles with their human family.

These gentle and talkative felines can also be described as sweet, docile, social, and friendly, and they make wonderful family pets. So even though they might look wild, their personality is that of a domestic cat. They are even known for their love of people, their curiosity, and their strong bonds with their favorite humans.

These cats should not be ignored, and they should be kept engaged so that they don’t become bored. You may want to consider getting more than one cat, if you are going to introduce a Cheetoh into your family, as doing so could help prevent boredom and loneliness when you are too busy or when you aren’t home.

Cheetohs, which are considered hypoallergenic, feature a velvety coat that is thick, shiny, and short. This plush coat will shed minimally, and it will only require a weekly brushing to help keep it clean and smooth. Brushing also helps remove loose hair, and it is a great opportunity to bond with your Cheetoh and give him the attention that he needs.
