The Ashera Cat
Status: Real

Want to own a leopard? That probably wouldn't be legal, but for $22,000 you can have the next best thing. A company called
Lifestyle Pets is selling what it claims is a cross between an African Serval, an Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic cat. So it's like a smaller, tamer version of a leopard. They call this cat an Ashera. Their product page says, "Fully socialized, the Ashera gets along well with children and other pets and unusually for cats, the Ashera takes well to being walked on a leash."
At first when I saw the Lifestyle Pets website, I thought it was some kind of elaborate hoax in the vein of
GenPets. But the Ashera seems to be real. At least, it's being widely reported
in the news. And these cats look big! (Well, big for cats.) I don't think any other cats in the neighborhood would mess with them. Not many dogs would either, I would bet. It would look pretty cool walking one of these cats around the neighborhood, but for $22,000 they're a bit out of my price range.

and even they think you're a tool. Ask them, go ahead. "Cats, am I a chrome-plated, craftsman toolbox of large capacity"? They will say yes, yes you swollen bag of litterbox lumps

please ignore the last few fake posts. The Presi- I mean my small pre-school child was playing on the Oval Office com- I mean the kitchen computer again, and didn't mean any harm. Sorry again, no hard feelings. That's an order, by the way.

i think the first round was sean's, but matt's showing some fancy footwork acting deceptively aloof, much like a cat... not much fur flying, but i think sean has some hidden claws... ding ding... round three

why is this homo posting as other people? regardless of what you're trying to do, you are still a homosexual.

you should stop worrying so much about sean and pay more attention to installing spell-check.

it's okay sean, i'm just mad that i sleep with my sister and have my cats lick peanut butter out of my ass. i'd say we should kiss and make up, but i know i'm the only gay one around here.

Sorry about that. Matt Waits was getting a tad carried away with the multiple personalities and arguments, so he's been removed. Try to carry on as if he were never here.
