The Ultimate F1 Bengal
Sarez Zeus, the World’s Most Expensive Cat
In 2003, Sarah and I bred an exceptional F1 Bengal, one who’s probably unique in the world. Sarez Zeus has a staggering 90% wild blood and perfectly encapsulates the wild look of the leopard cat, yet he’s overtly friendly and just as docile as a normal domestic cat. Because of this and his £100,000 price tag, Zeus became an international sensation, mesmerising both the press and the public alike. This article explores some of the complexities of breeding this astonishing Bengal - and what made him the most expensive cat in the world.

Some may be surprised at the prices that my fiancée, Sarah, and I ask for our rarest cats such as Sarez Zeus, and indeed, his £100,000 price was a significant amount of money. But in Britain, F1s have always been costly – anything that’s very rare and beautiful always is. In the early to mid 1990s,
we bought three of just four F1 Bengals that were in the country, and we paid very high prices for them; we did so because we wanted them, and that meant we had to pay whatever their owner deemed fit.
