3. I want one... maybe 2
But he looks sooo beautifully feral... It's cool that he's into his 'standard' feline companion. I cannot imagine the chicken in my kitchen...

5. My TK kitty (16 lbs) does that to Autumn (6 lbs)
It has the same effect.

Her B/W kitty looks to be 12+lbs. LOOK AT THE SIZE OF HIS TONGUE!!!!

21. Yes, I laughed when I saw that one...
then understood the freaked-out expression when I saw the photos of the big cat killing live prey!

:scared:

9. And those GENIUSES are letting him kill live prey IN THEIR HOUSE.
Yeah, that shit's all fun and games until someone loses an arm.
Or a face.

I'll not be at all surprised to learn that this ends badly.

10. that was my thought
there will be zero sympathy for the owners when they are mauled, there will be sympathy for the cat when it is put down

goddamn, I'm sounding like a dog owner

Possibly on par w/ 'monorail cat'.

17. It's a Fishing Cat


Wild animals need to be wild, IMO...

Besides, would you really want chicken blood all over the house?

18. Your pic looks perfectly accurate.
Those E Eurasian ppl must have 'domesticated' one.

Damn good job identifying him!

20. Looks like you nailed it, GoG!
Some folks upthread yelled "ocelot"...I was thinking it MIGHT be
some sort of HALF-ocelot mix, because the head was just not the right shape.
Too big, too blunt, too broad-featured.

That "Fishing Cat": BAM! That's it to a "t"! That's what it is,
I have no doubt!
Yer pic could be a littermate, it's so close.

And that would explain why the owners felt compelled
to put a live catfish in their bathtub so they could
post the pics of the cat catching & eating it.

22. The woman bathing with the cat is nutso.
That pic made me think it might be a fishing cat. Still, it made me wonder if she had a catfish in the tub with her too... :rofl:

23. Seriously!
They have gone out of their way to TEACH the cat
to think of that tub as his personal "hunting ground"....
then they get naked and relax there!

One wrong move, on a day when he's in a bad mood...
and her next of kin will be translating "Darwin Award Recipient"
into Russian for the benefit of the local stonecarver.

Ooh! That gives me idea!
I'm gonna break out teh fotoShop- BRB!

19. There was a discussion about one of those pics a couple of days ago
The one where the ocelot is licking the tuxedo kitty. Most people thought it was some kind of photoshop job.

OK, found it, it's clearly the same beast, though a different pic:

28. Yep
I was wrong, it still has a 'shopped quality about it, but clearly it's just a big mothafucka
