Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.

John Ringo turned one of these into a character in his "Looking Glass" series!  They sound like cool animals.

Supposedly, they have the disposition of a house cat.  Very sweet by all accounts.

Wow that is so cool!!  They are gorgeous.

My wife and I are fosters for Servals*/Savannah (they never show up) Bengals, and other "exotic" cats.
Word of warning, these cats require TONS of attention, space, and stimulation. They tend to be very, very curious, and get into everything. They love to climb( they do this odd thing with their heads, looking up at things all the time, a kinda side to side movement), keep that in mind when you realize how large they are (Servals) and they are quite strong. The Bengals we fostered had big damned shoulders and were solid muscle. Seriously strong cats. I'd say double that of a domestic, but they only weighed about 7-8 lbs.
I'd own one in a flat second, but have to adjust (they cannot be let outside)to owning one.



edit As Badcat was showing, you get mixed breeds, not "pure" Servals.

Must be fun to be foster parents for exotic cats! :)  Thanks for all the great info!
