More Info
Did you know?
The eye-catching shimmer of the Glitter gene can be traced back to one of the founding fathers of the Bengal breed, named Millwood Tory of Delhi, who was said to be discovered in India. Tory was also bred to family lines of the Egyptian Mau and Toyger, introducing the Glitter gene to these breeds as well.
