This is a relatively new breed. They are a hybrid from Felis Chaus, which is a Jungle Cat from Egypt, that lives in the Nile region. This is how they came to have the name "Chausie'". This cat was used by the Pharaohs to retrieve game. They were also worshipped in other regions as a Goddess called Bastet. The result of the outcrossing has given us a Feral appearing cat which exhibits the mystery and prowess of the Jungle Cat; with the loving gentle traits we have come to expect in our domestics.

Bakhutan Ojbwah Named in the Dakota language, Ojbwah means Hanging Clouds Sire: Woodghost Pharoah’s Gold of Bakhutan Dam: Wildkatz Niles Tiki of Bakhutan An F2 Chausie, we call her Squeaky, because she has a tiny voice. There is however, NOTHING tiny about what she has brought to our program. Homegrown, a daughter out of one of my first Chausie queens, she continues to be the cornerstone of our CU program. Like her beloved dam, Tiki, she is a great mother, and passes on to her offspring, the traits most sought after by our clients. She will be bred again in the spring.

Le Ploma Le Ploma is an awesome girl that was expecting, as you can see. We’ll be picking a female to add to our Chausie program here at Bakhutan. We’re very excited as she was bred to our own TesRatosh. On July 14, 2008 she had six beautiful babies. Three of them were snow, and three were heavily spotted. Make sure to check back for pictures!

Bakhutan Moswentau Fair Colored Lion "Mosey" is a third generation Chausie. It is our hope that he’ll be fertile when he matures. Big and leggy, he is the epitome of the Chausie standard.
