The world's most expensive cat

The Ashera, billed as the world's 'largest, rarest and most exotic' domestic cat, is the size of a small dog and sports eye-catching leopard-like spots and tiger stripes. British businessman Simon Brodie is selling the designer kittens for £10,796 plus shipping costs – and already has a nine-month waiting list. The Internet entrepreneur used a team of geneticists to develop the exotic cats at his US laboratory.
