Origin	The idea for this breed came from writer-director Paul Casey after his visit to Africa in 1971. Casey was saddened by the plight of the dwindling numbers of wild cats in Africa. He decided to create a breed of domestic cat with the look of a wild cat that would deter people from wearing furs that resembled their own pets. He crossed the Siamese, British Shorthairs, American Shorthairs, Manx, Abyssinians and a line of Egyptian and Asian street cats. His breeding program took eleven generations before the breed type was successful and was formally introduced in 1986. The breed is currently registered with both the ACA and the TICA. The Spangled Cat is one of the rarest of cat breeds. Nevertheless, the Spangled has a small but dedicated following of people who love the breed's active personality and exotic looks.
