Anyone ever own one? Mom's in the process of trying to get one.

How much do these things cost anyways?

In common with other wild cats living in the rain forests of Latin America, the tiger cat is becoming threatened by deforestation and this along with pressures bought to bare by its continued hunting by local fur traders has led to the tiger cat being listed as an endangered species.

Your mom work in a zoo?

Oh hold on..my black rhino needs to be let out..

A domesticated cat can be destructive enough.

I'd be pretty reluctant to consider one, have had friends with bobcats & they were too aggressive to keep around humans

Folks would walk into a room & the cat would be stalking them & attack...

Domestic cats are seriously less aggressive than wild cats, a few thousand generations will do that to a species.
