Inspired by the poaching death of a
leopard, the anthropologist Louis Leakey, motivated Paul
Casey to breed a domestic cat resembling a small leopard, and that this
would emphasize how important it is to preserve the leopard.
California Spangled Cats are a crossbreed
of many strains of cat.
Despite their wild appearance, they are completely
domestic.
