A new hybrid breed with Asian leopard blood, the Ashera, is slightly more eye-catching, than the Bengal.
They stand 4 feet tall on their hind legs. At $22,000, they’re certainly a very expensive breed of cat. The Ashera weighs around 30 lbs and lives for 25 years. Despite their hefty price, they’re actually fairly low maintenance, though they do prefer to sleep on heated beds.
The reason the Ashera is such an expensive cat breed is that each one is guaranteed to have the same coloring and appearance. These traits are bred, from the African Serval, an undisclosed domestic breed and the aforementioned Asian leopard cat, by British entrepreneur Simon Brodie of Lifestyle Pets.

Brodie also developed another expensive cat, the hypoallergenic cat. These cats notably do not possess the gene that causes them to produce the Feld 1 glycoprotein, the major cat allergen. This allows cat lovers whose families include one or more persons with feline allergies, or who have feline allergies themselves, to still keep a feline friend around the house. Lifestyle Pets are even planning on introducing a hypoallergenic Ashera in the coming year. These cats range in expense from the Allerca GD’s $5,950 price tag to the Ashera GD’s $28,000 price tag.
Any of these cats may provide a (feline) lifetime of entertainment and companionship for their owners. However, a new Lexus convertible and a cat from the SPCA might be a better way to spend your money than $40,000+ for the most expensive cat.

Haha! What would I pay for a pet? Let's just hope the cat that someone pays that much money for doesn't have any health problems! If I added up what we spent on Midas in his lifetime I bet it would come close to that!!! But he was worth every penny. Miss him dearly!
Wow! Pricey!!! Can't imagine having that much money let alone spending it on an animal.. but hey to each his own!
i'm not sure gene modified kitty cats are really the way to go...but he is a handsome fellow. :-)
