big kitty

[General Lighting]

With pets like that, this family won't have to worry about intruders :laugh_at:

(this picture has not been photoshopped in any way - that really is the size of this tom cat. The female is the size of your average house cat)

They are savannahs which are a hybrid of a Serval and a domestic cat - although the domestic breeds commonly used are the Oriental ones such as the Siamese which also have wildcat genes in them.

The domestic out-crosses for the Savannah breed that are permissible in TICA are the Egyptian Mau (http://www.partyvibe.com/wiki/Egyptian_Mau), the Ocicat (http://www.partyvibe.com/wiki/Ocicat), the Oriental Shorthair (http://www.partyvibe.com/wiki/Oriental_Shorthair), and the Domestic Shorthair (http://www.partyvibe.com/wiki/Domestic_shorthair)raaa

the Mau can also be quite a large breed. The big toms at F1/2 hybrid onwards tend to be sterile so they are more often sold as pets - despite their size and being 50-75% wildcat they are not aggressive towards their family and trustworthy humans. They are very dog-like in their attachments to families.

There's also a warning to vets that these breeds do not react well with ketamine - they go into K-holes same as humans do and being intelligent do not like the loss of control this causes! This is why tiletamine and lorazepam (a benzodiazepine) is sometimes indicated in veterinary medicine.
