Characteristics of the Ashera cat
This type of cat would not be very different from other breeds, were it not for its incredible price, we are talking about 17,000 euros, due to the fact that few specimens are born every year. Of course, as well as having some exotic features at the height of the price you pay.
The crossing of these breeds has resulted in a large domestic feline if we approach it to a normal cat. It can weigh between 12 and 15 kg and measure one meter and a half in length.
The Ashera cat, although domestic, has a marked feline appearance with wild features, leopard fur and pointed ears. However, the lifestyle of this exotic feline is that of a normal domestic cat.
The characteristics of Ashera cats are similar to those of a domestic cat, so the care to be given to them is the same. They need your attention, affection, cuddles, that you take them to the vet and that you play with them. It is quite docile and prefers a sedentary home life.
One thing that distinguishes them from other domestic cats, in addition to their appearance, is that they need more food, even if qualitatively they follow the same diet.
Buy an Ashera cat
It may seem simple to buy an Ashera cat, but it is not: not only because its price is around 17,000 euros, but for the exclusivity of the breed: about one hundred copies are born only a year. This means that the waiting list is endless.
On top of all this, the breed itself is sterile, so don’t think about giving birth to a puppy and selling it, as you do with other pedigreed pets.
To all this we add that the Lifestyle Pets company , owner of the Ashera breed, has put on sale several varieties of this breed, each with its relative price. It is the Ashera Standard that has a price of 17,000 euros and the features we have mentioned above.
However, there is also hypoallergenic Ashera GD, with a price of around 18,000 euros; the Snow Ashera which has the appearance of a white tiger with spots and which reaches, brace yourselves, the figure of 45,000 euros; and lastly, the most expensive of all, 96,000 euros, the very rare Royal Ashera. The price of the Ashera cat includes the certificate of authenticity, advice on maintenance and care to be addressed to it, insurance, vaccinations and finally the microchip. Transport is not included in the price for those who live outside the United States.
How the Ashera cat was born
The idea came from the British Simon Brodie, founder of the North American company Lifestyle Pets, who initially ran an IT company, but in 2003 he decided to devote himself to biotechnics and artificial insemination of animals. He therefore began to design and create “à la carte” animals where the most sophisticated and refined tastes and the needs of the future owner of the animals are taken into account. A very profitable business was born .
All this has generated controversy about the correctness of this practice. Let’s put aside the question of whether it is ethical or unethical to manufacture an animal in the laboratory. What is certain is that it is a new species created by man and the effects on the health of these cats, on their development, and finally, on the behavior they will adopt towards other animals, including humans, are still not sure. same.
