If they wasn’t $20 grand

I’d so have one of these cats.

Could you imagine being woken up by this 30 lb cat leaping on you in the morning? More than that, leaping on you and then dragging the covers off you, as in this next video demonstration?

I thought at first it was just over-exuberant people describing their Savannah cats (Serval F1 hybrids with domestic cats), but no, these are actual honest-to-jungle Servals. My friend’s wife’s brother has one (though I forgot about that when they were getting married, or I would have suggested we visit. SERVAL! Wrassle with a tamed wild cat!), so I know for a fact that yes, people are that crazy. Of course, we’ve all seen the video of the dudes who raised a lion, set him free, and then went back ten years later and got lionhugs!, so we know this shit ain’t too crazy.

Actually, what I’d really like is a snow spotted Bengal crossed with a Savannah F1  - with any luck you could have some nice, vocal miniature snow leopards running around. Though really, I’d like science to advance to the point where we can GMO an actual snow leopard with some Labrador genes (what, felis domesticus instead you say? fuck you, I don’t want my ‘cat’ to eat me) so I can have an actual house snow leopard that hopefully wont eat me and will just be a big ‘ol puppydog. Best part is you’ll never have to lock you door. Just put a sign out front that says “Criminals welcome, door unlocked, beware of leopard.” 

I like how Serval ears make them look like they have eyes in the back of their heads. There’s plenty more on the toobs where this came from, enjoy yourself a morning of crazy giant cat watching.
