According to the breed legend, The Honey Bear breed was scientifically created
in a laboratory by adding selected genetic material from a Skunk to a female
Persian cat with excellent results - a large, good-natured cat filled with fun,
spirit, curiosity and an endearing personality. They love to be handled and will
"flop" in your arms once they get to know you. Honey Bears love attention and
are eager to please. They are a bit shy at first, hiding from people and
situations that they are uncertain about, but once they feel safe in your
company, you have a best friend for life!
Honey Bears have a very distinctive appearance to match their unique and unusual
personality. They have a broad head like the Persian with rounded, tufted ears
and a nose that is medium to short in length. Their round to almond-shaped eyes
come in a variety of remarkable golden colors, including pure gold, greenish
gold, goldish brown, and copper with a hint of orange.
Honey Bears are large, stocky cats with relatively short legs and rounded
paws that display large tufts of fur. They have a shorter, fluffy tail that
resembles either a skunk - or a raccoon, and is either held high or dragged low
behind the Honey Bear. Honey Bears seldom shed, despite the long, luxurious
coat. Occasional brushing is necessary to prevent matting. They also have rather
unusual nails, which are constantly shedding their outer shells and in some
cases are un-retractable. They require regular clipping to keep them from
curling back on the paw and causing the cat discomfort.
Born with stripes, most kittens will lighten in color as they mature, although
some Honey Bears coats darken with time and these stripes will reappear. As they
age, the Honey Bears coat colors will change, and these stripes may turn into
spots, fade or even disappear. Remaining stripes are usually found on the tail,
legs or head and face areas. Honey Bears are equally friendly to other household
pets as they are with humans. They seldom show signs of aggression or
territorialism, preferring to make friends with their house-mates. This calm,
affectionate breed is an excellent choice for owners with well-behaved children,
as they are known to flee rather than fight, and have seldom been induced to
scratch or bite.
Honey Bears are more like children than cats, although some people compare them
to dogs. They follow you around and thrive on love, attention and praise. They
are trainable using positive reinforcement methods similar to those used on
dogs, and should be lavishly praised when caught in the act of doing proper
"cat" stuff like using the scratching post, using the litter box, eating and
just being their affectionate, wonderful selves.
