Not sure. Probably not hectic amounts such as over there.

One website says they are illegal here since they are CITES listed as a hybrid, yet there are a few breeders here. No kittens available though :/

We had a stray that got dropped off after we built the house on our property that would play fetch with a foxtail. Surprisingly the same cat liked sitting in your lap while you mowed or drove around in the side by side, once it even got in the kiddie pool to cool off with us. Too bad it got run over it was the only cat we've had with those antics.

I have a Jungle Lynx\Jungle Cat. I call him Mr.Waylon, he weighs in at 18lbs, was the runt of the litter, his brothers are between 25-30lbs, his dad was 29lbs. Reason I got him was I had a lab and there was a 30lb weight limit in dogs, but not on cats so said I'll get a big cat. He never got that big though. Before this cat I had a Maine Coon but she wasn't that big, was 12lbs, all Coons don't get as big as the ones posted in this thread, they vary a lot depending in lineage. Waylon is a F3, but still very much wild. He makes this weird growling sound at night, freaked me out when I first got him 8 years ago. He runs through the house, bouncing off the wall literally, making many kinds of weird noises that I have never heard any other regular type of cat make. As with a lot of cats, especially ones that aren't that domesticated yet, I need to show him whose boss when he wants to try me. But other than that, he is a big purr machine and wants to be with you all day and all night and he loves to be outside in the fenced back yard. I had another one which was a Highland Sealpoint Lynx with poly feet but sold it, he was weird, something wasn't right about it and was much bigger than Waylon at 25lbs so I traded him for a 210 gallon full setup with a 16" Tig and 14" Goldy Pleco :)

About the cat litter, that stuff is useless and a waste of money. Cat's have strong smelling urine. I tried many cat litters but the smell of ammonia was strong and I wasn't having that and I only have one cat. I also hated the dust with all those chemicals, etc. not good for the cat or myself. So I found horse bedding at Tractor Supply, I think 40lb bags for around $6. They are pine pellets. No smell whatsoever of ammonia. When its wet it breaks down do somewhat of a dust but very easy to clean. For his litter box I use the biggest tote at Walmart. One bag lasts me 2 months and I clean his box every Sunday before garbage day and no smell. You all should give that a try, its cheaper, cleaner and healthier.

Sure thing. The white one is the one I sold, he was an F2, had curled ears and poly feet, he had faint looking tiger stripes on his body that were a very, very light grey. 19231_284661802450_4459036_n.jpg 323372_10150519191642451_1310181518_o.jpg 1917493_195694432450_3122762_n.jpg

Yea that's a cool shot of him. I was taking him to his new owner at the time. Tried to find the old photo of the coon I had but can't find it.

We are looking at buying a Savannah next.
