HoneyBear

Description / History     

Claimed to be the 'world's sweetest cats', with childlike personalities. Related to IRCA Ragdolls. Large and cobby (resemble Persians) but with flattish head with small round ears set on the sides of the head. Its non-matting coat and ruff is very thick and silky. Tabby/non-solid patterns, preferred pattern is black with white "teardrop" on the forehead and white spotting on the top of the tail, sometimes forming a skunk-like stripe. Slow to mature. IRCA have claimed that HoneyBears were created by genetic manipulation of skunk genes, which were "injected" into the bloodstream of the parent HoneyBear.

The HoneyBear is a large clown like cat. They are full of curiosity, spirit, have a child-like personality, and are eager for love and praise. Occasionally their self-preservation instinct will make them hide from a person until they feel safe and comfortable. Each cat is different and will react differently to each person. Some people say their Honey Bear is more like a dog than a cat. Others say theirs likes to take showers with them. Some love to follow you around, assuring they don't miss out on a thing. They thrive on love and attention. The more you massage their back and neck the more relaxed they get.

Weight: 8-17 lbs.

Associations: The HoneyBear is IRCA registered.
