How big a problem is it?

Our two resuce cats must be about 16/17 years old now and when they go I'd like to replace them with a russian blue and a bengal.

Thing is, although I don't live in a scummy area, it's also not a huge mansion set in 40 acres of grounds, so should I be worried if I did get them, as round here they would stick out as much as a real tiger! biggrin

A Bengal will stick out anywhere, though I thought they were more indoors cats?

Depends where you are.

Theft of pedigree animals is quite a problem in Surrey. They either get stolen outright, or the thieves wait for the reward notices to be posted and then claim the money, £500 being the going rate.

Without wishing to slur any particular ethnic group, these incidents tend to occur around Derby Day.
