Mini-Leopard Cat That Costs $22,000
The Ashera (official website) is the result of blending the African Serval and the Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat and doesn't come cheap. One will set you back a whopping $22,000.
It grows up to 30 pounds and sports fearsome teeth but the company says it gets along with other pets and children and takes well to being walked on a leash.
Only 100 will be breeded per year. Link
thats what they said about Margays, and look how well that washed over...
I want one ;-;

'lifstyle' pets - what a horrible term of phrase. There aren't many pictures showing the claws, but from the ones i can see - they're not something I'd want near my 'lifestyle' furnishings.
but I concede - it is a beautiful thing.

...and - it walks on a lead, which is good, because i wouldn't fancy trying to wrestle it into a cat carrier for a trip to vets. I still bear the scars from my last battle with a very small domestic moggy!

sure its nice and beautiful until the day the wild side of it remembers how wild it is and it sinks those big teeth into your leg.
but hey idiots that try to keep wild animals as pets get what they deserve.
those Half wolf/ Half German Shepard crosses are dangerous too
