I totally understand what you are saying about choosing a cat that needs a home. we have 2 rescue cats, but we have also have an F2 Chausie. He has a wonderful temperament for an Alpha. He has never hissed or tried to scratch any humans and he is completely devoted to one member of the household. He makes the mow/yow sound like in your video and he is social. I'm glad we have him.

@MusicLoverSB There are exceptions to the rule, where did you get your chausie cat from and how much was he?

[BigCatRescue]

@usenetposts Of course they don't have to try...are hybrid cats and endangered species? No they are a man made animal, all the unwanted cats are disposed of they are not found loving homes because nobody wants them. We're well aware that domestic cats are a result of thousands of years of domestication, this doesn't mean that we need to try and domesticate every wild animal we can or to breed new hybrid animals to cater to the egos of certain people.

@BigCatRescue Hi: My husband got Rufus, our F2, from a breeder. I know this is something you guys don't like, but I didn't buy Rufus. I'm allergic to cats! And Rufus has an especially potent protein in his saliva that will give anyone the itchy eye. Not as bad as a siamese, but close enough. But I digress. As I write this, Rufus has nuzzeled my face and accepted hugs from me as a sign he wants to sleep in my lap. He does snore by the way.

@BigCatRescue I have an F2 Chausie cat and he absolutely loves being with humans. When our other cats run away when a doorbell rings, he actually runs to the door to greet whoever is behind it. So I don't know if that is a rare quality in a hybrid cat or not since you said that a lot of them don't like to be in homes.

I wonder if it would be a good idea to try to start jungle cat populations in the jungles of South America. The biggest risk would be them fitting in TOO well and wiping out other species there.

Oh well, just a thought.

I have a cat that looks very similar to this species? of cat. It's an Abyssinian and some of the faces that the Jungle Cats have look jut like my Walker's face :)

[DonPechito]

What ??!! People do actually cross-breed this wild cat with a normal cat ?? Man, there's really no limit to the stupidy and arrogance of some people....
