Omg beautiful!!!!!
I'm a cat person. I had two before i got hurt and just got a new one a month or so ago.

Just keep the kitty away from your EX

Dude Google image them they are Beautiful, and they are more like a Dog then Cat.
They fetch and follow you like a dog, most owners walk them on a leash.
I Really want one bad :(

One of mine was more dog than cat.
He would greet me at the door when i got home, slept with me, played fetch, never left my side.
I googled them and you're right they are gorgeous, and 12k for a first generation. Wow

Yea I don't think I will be getting a F1 (F1 is 1st Gen) any time soon, unless I hits the lottery :)
I am looking towards a F5 or F6 for a little over or under a $1000.
But that would mean no vape stuff for a long while :( or until the P3 comes out lol

I see images of exotic cats like these and would cherish caring for one. I've got three cats now, all rescues, two torties and a grey male. The grey does like to fetch repeatedly much to the dismay of my wife...I always have had the luck of them finding me, and have never had the need to seek out a new companion. I would probably have a hundred if money and space were no obstacle...

And I checked the Laws in my State, (Pa) they are considered Domestics and no Permit required :)

I would highly recommend not getting an F1, ever, as a pet. You'll have a lot more fun with the later generations, trust me. I love all the part wild cats, the Ocicat, the Bengal, the Savannah, Pixiebob, all of them. However, the only reason I'd ever have an F1 is if I were breeding, and even then it wouldn't be a pet, it would be a breeding animal.

The thing is that wild animals just don't look to humans in the same way a domestic animal does. There was a great Nat Geo or Nova special about the differences between wolves and dogs, chimps and humans, etc. (I think it was called The Human Spark) The primary one being the wild animal doesn't look to humans. They could care less what you do and don't bond the way domestics do. That's why we domesticated some species and breeds of animal and not others. See horses and zebras. They look a lot alike, but there's no way to domesticate a zebra. It's been tried, repeatedly. Often with disastrous results.

I'm betting other breeders with established catteries don't pay anything like that much. The price is just to discourage people who want pets from getting the early generations. ;) So be reassured, the farther away from wild you get, the better. And if the breeder is any good, they've managed to keep the stuff that's really cool, like the size, personality and 'dog like' characteristics. If they're great, they've actually improved on the temperament in that direction.

An F1 Savannah is not a wild cat, they are 50% to 75% serval. Which I can't afford anyways :(

But I just found some on Facebook, a page called the Cutting Edge Cats.

I can't get fb on this computer so I got to use my phone. They are located in Lancaster Pa. :)

As beautiful as they are I wouldn't be supposed to the f4 or f5 breeds so long as they have the same appearance. How social and how theybond with you has a lot to do with the way you are with them as kittens I think. Genetics will play a told as far as if they we prone to certain behavior.
My new kitty is moody. She's my first girl. I always feed her at the same time 6 and 6. This morning (Saturday) she came in the room at 5 am. Stood on the wheelchair(yeah she does the squirrel stand to show off) and started screening at me to wake up and feed her. Good thing she's so damn cute.

Really, no matter what the numbers are, they're so much nicer when they've gotten away from the wild blood. The way I look at it is this; the further away from wild you are, the more care that's been put into producing a healthy, happy pet who will enjoy being with you as much as you enjoy having them in your home. An F1 or F2 hasn't had that selection applied yet. Does that makes sense?
