Mokave Jag Cats - An Exotic New Breed!

Mokave (mo-KA-vee) cats appeal to people who want a large exotic cat like a bobcat, lynx, Jungle Cat, ocelot, Asian Leopard Cat, Caracal, or Serval but realize that a wild animal doesn't make a good pet and can be dangerous when mature. Mokave cats stay good-natured and friendly throughout their lifespan.

My Mokave cattery produces genetically designed felines that have a wild look and a gentle temperament. These cats are bred to desire human attention and make great "little buddies" for individuals of all ages.

Mokave Pet Parent:

"My husband and I already have one of your beautiful cats and we are looking to purchase ANOTHER!! We are so in love with these Mokave breeds! We are very fixated on our cats having an easy-going TEMPERAMENT and being SOCIAL. Our current Mokave cat is ALL that and more! He is so curious and never once have I seen him be skittish or fearful. Gunther just wants to play and be loved!"

Big Wild-Looking Companion Cats!

People constantly call me looking for "something different in a cat." For years now, I have been developing a new breed called the Mokave Jag Cat. This new designer cat is a "deluxe upgrade" from my previous Bengals, Desert Lynx, Highland Lynx, and Asian Leopard Cat hybrids. In 2009, I decided to merge my Mokave Lynx Cats into my Jag Cat line, making Mokave cats some of the largest and heaviest of any cat breed. With their high intelligence, dramatic coloring, and great personalities, Mokave Jag Cats are truely one of the rarest and most exotic cats on earth!

Look how HUGE King Pyrr's paws are at ages 3 months, 9 months, and 22 months!

My cats are a blend of genetic traits designed to bring out the wildest look and largest size, yet stay lovable. It is impossible for me to determine as young kittens which ones will turn out to be the BIGGEST in any given litter, but you can see from the photos below of my one and two-year-old youngsters -- full maturity takes 3-4 years -- that most of them get pretty large!

Mokave Pet Parent:

"Dakarai weighs 22 lbs now... still growing and still a sweetheart.
He's sitting on the legs of my 6' 4" husband."

"Dakarai was born in April, 2008. He is 28 lbs. as of December 2009! He is, again, on James' lap, but you can see he stretches the entire length of his legs!!!"

"Dakarai looks HUGE when James or I hold him, but when someone 5' 7' or so holds him, he looks like a baby tiger!! He loves people."

Kid & Pet Friendly

Mokave's cats love attention! They will run greet you at the door, follow you around your house, jump in your shower or pool, sleep on your bed, and really enjoy hanging out with you.

Mokave cats and kittens are FUN to be around! They're like little kids with fur. Each one has its own personality, likes, and dislikes. The more you pay attention to them, the more obvious it is that they really want to communicate with you. These cats are much smarter -- and usually more loving -- than anything you can imagine. You really need to spend time with one to know what I'm talking about.

To learn how to properly introduce your chilren and family pets to my Mokaves and for great photos of kids and animals with my cats, see Mokaves, Kids & Pets.

Mokave Pet Parent:

"Dragon loves everyone and everything. He loves to ride in the car - sitting or draped on my shoulders. He loves to walk on his leash outside and even ride the 4-wheeler. My friends have bought litter boxes for their houses cause now they don't want me over if I'm not bringing him.

He is so much more than just a pet to me and my daughter, as well as my parents. Dragon is everything you said he would be but so very much more. So I just wanted to say thank you, Nora. You did not give me a pet, you gave me a best friend."

Caring For Mokave Cats

Caring for a Mokave cat is basically no different than caring for a housecat -- except they need even more love and attention! See Kitten Care for specifics on food, litter, bathing, and more.

Volunteering for a Good Cause

"The Mokave kitten shown jumping through this tiger's mouth, along with several other Mokaves, performed agility tricks (such as running through tunnels and walking a tightrope 6 feet off the ground) every hour on the hour during a weekend TICA Cat Show to bring public awareness to the plight of the abandoned pets from Huricane Katrina."

"Over 40 rescued animals were adopted at this and other events at which Mokave cats performed."

Training Mokaves

Mokaves are so smart, it's easy to train them. In fact, if you're not careful, they could wind up training you! See Training Mokave Cats for more information.

Mokave Pet Parent:

"We love Hugo a lot... He is like a little child for us -- very playful, loving, naughty and just different. Hugo also likes to fetch... he even has his favourite toys. And he is not scared of water like other cats."

Mokave Prices

Mokave cats -- like all things rare and beautiful -- are not cheap;
then again, how does one put a price on 20 years of companionship?

Compare the cost of a Mokave to other exotic-looking cat breeds:
F1 Asian Leopard Cats can easily cost $3500 or more. Toygers cost up to $4000.
F1 and F2 Savannahs run $4500 to $12000. The fake Ashera cat was listed at $22000!

In 2010, my Mokave kittens will cost $2000 to $4000.

For more information, please see: Buying Mokaves.

Mokave Pet Parent:

"I have purchased four cats from the Mokave Cats cattery. These animals are our children. They are well mannered, social, and extremely intelligent. I could not imagine not having them in our lives. Mica, Jag, Comanche, and Harley are the focal point for any visitor to our house and any visits to the vet. We actually have people lined up to babysit our 'children' when we are gone on vacation."
