The CHEETOH is a new hybrid house pet which has
an interesting history. In 2001, Carol Drymon toyed
with the idea of developing a new hybrid house pet
by crossing the Bengal and the Ocicat breeds. In
approximately 2005, she supervised other breeders
as they bred the CHEETOH. Some of the early
breeders and new breeders can be found under
the heading of Breeders at www.thecheetohcat.com.

wild/domestic hybrid cat, utilizing very
specific bloodlines of the Bengal cat
and the Ocicat breeds. The Cheetoh
was first researched and developed by
Carol Drymon of Wind Haven Exotics in

other qualified breeders throughout
the United States were invited to
participate in the Cheetoh breeding
program. This program is based on
very specific breed standards and a 5
year breeding plan was several years
in the making.

Cheetoh - Taz of Tiffany Cheetohs
The CHEETOH, though fierce in appearance, is at
all times an incredibly social and loving cat, seldom
aloof or showing any tendencies toward aggressive
or standoffish behavior. They have an enormous
amount of energy, especially the cubs, which is the
reason they are so adept at keeping themselves
and their human companions entertained. The
CHEETOH cat is also extremely intelligent and
curious, often showing a very unfeline sense of
humor.
