Not-lanta Ligers are so five minutes ago

L.A. resident Judy Sugden is breeding tigers and cats together in hopes of one day creating the perfect Toyger, a house cat bred to look like a toy model of the largest member of the cat family.
Sugden, credited in the article as the “inventor†of the Toyger (I hope she’s paying Napoleon Dynamite royalties …) doesn’t understand the animal rights activists and veterinarians who wish she wouldn’t add to the already overpopulated species by creating a “designer breed.†According to the author, “As Sugden sees it, Toygers are about saving something rarer—the essence of tigerness.â€
I feel like that’s what Diddy’s cologne probably smells like.
