making its coat shine. I hadn't realized Toygers also had glittery coats. There are a lot of Bengals with similar markings and coats.

Editing to add that the reason it looks so much like a Bengal is that Toygers were created by crossing Bengals with domestic tabbies. Judging by the glitter, that was one of the Bengal traits that was most desired. The breed was created by the daughter of the woman who created the Bengal breed by crossing domestic cats with the Asian leopard cat.
