TASURT CHAUSIES
Chausies: From Ancient Egypt, A 21st Century Breed Like No Other.
In Egypt, more than three thousand years ago, Egyptians treasured the Jungle Cat. They admired them enough to paint them into murals, honor them with funeral rights, and mummify them to send with their pharaohs into the afterlife. These cats were more than just hunters, they were loved companions. By the late 1990's a group pf people began breeding Jungle Cat hybrids. These breeders made a concentrated effort to aquire physical and personality traits that set this breed apart from others. One of the first things done was to select a name that described the breed. The name "Chausie" (pronounced "chow-see") was derived from the Latin name for the Jungle Cat, Felis Chaus. We breed exclusively Chausies, having dedicated the last 12 years working to help develop this wonderful breed of cat. We hope you enjoy our site and learn to love and appreciate the Chausie Cat as much as we do! Welcome to our website! |
