$22,000 designer cat

They are expected to weigh up to 30 pounds when full grown. This cat will kick your dog's ass.

Sweet, I want one! oh $22k, i'll pass.

 

[K1052]

Looks pretty cool actually.

 

[Rage187]

I want one, maybe $2000 but not $22,000

 

[Fourier Transform]

If I paid $22k for a pet, I better be getting a Tiger.

 

[nakedfrog]

That's probably one of the stupidest things I've ever heard of in my ENTIRE LIFE.
And I love cats.

pass

 

[Canai]

Cool. I want one.

 

[xSkyDrAx]

It looks pretty cool. Now if it only wasn't 22k.

Let's pool $44 grand for a male and a female, and corner the US market ourselves at $5k each.

I'll start the PayPal donation link arrangements

I'm sure they have them fixed before they will sell them for just that reason.

I don't see how it's that different from a Savannah Cat which you can get for 1k-3k. In any case, from my experience (my ex-GF's parents had 3 savannahs) none of these wild cat hybrids make very good pets. They're pretty mean and they don't like people, absolutely no affection.

Apparently you can also get a hypoallergenic cat as well.

If only they could make one that also didn't shed.

You mean like one of those repugnant hairless cats?

According to Lifestyle Pets, Ashera cats are very affectionate, have great temperments and are fully socialized.

That probably depends on how you raise them. Quote from your link:
"Savannahs have been described as friendly, assertive, active, and interested in dogs and children.[4] They are commonly compared to dogs in their loyalty, and they will follow their owners around the house like a canine."

I think it'd be scary to have a cat that large. I mean, when my cat gets mad at me, and she's a small 9-10 pound thing, she can give me a nice gash on my hand (admittedly I do like annoying her). A cat 3 times heavier? Yikes.

I knew someone would say something like that.
No, I mean a cat with a regular amount of hair that does not shed.
Yes, I understand the impossibility of that.

Wikipedia is not a reliable source in this case. Besides, there's a lot of variability because of the way they are bred and sold. The F3 cats (only 12.5% serval) acted pretty much like normal cats. But the F1 (50%) and even F2 (25%) retain many of their wild instincts.

This isn't just based off of my personal annecdotes BTW. I attended several cat shows with them and have had lengthy discussions with breeders. Most breeders won't even sell you an F1 or F2 cat unless you've had experience with them because too many people end up returning them once they get past the kitten stage and lose their cute demeanor.

But my cat (one of them anyways) already beats up on the dog.
She only weighs 8-10lbs though.
