Our Little Kitty gets a new dog toy

This is our African serval whacking the new toy to make sure it is dead first. Servals use their arms like clubs to kill their prey. This serval has whacked me across the head before, and it came so fast and hard, i thought i was getting mugged.
This cat was about 25 lbs, and 22" high when this video was made. The serval has also been known as "The poor man's Cheetah" due to the low price tag of getting one. Now it is all but impossible to get a cheetah, but servals are still available, however not so cheap as they once were.
Servals are one of the few "wild" species that are plentiful in wild, and are far from being on the endangered list. There are many servals kept in private homes, zoos, preserves, and feline collections, in addition to the plenty still in their natural habitat. They pose no threat to humans if they escape, as they will always try to avoid human contact with strangers. Their natural prey are birds, rodents, rabbits, insects, and the like.

That is a freaky cat! I don't think I could have one of those in my house, would be like having a cheetah and any minute it could take a chunk out of your leg.

@Missykicksassdude Join a debating club, life is reality. You can not change anything.

The world is what is! Live with it!go with the flow, chill, relax what ever you want to call it.

Go back to to 1650 live then.

Do they hit it because they would do that over a kill to make sure it was dead in the wild?

[ziggypopp73]
