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.

I dont think a tropical climate would ever be an issue....The serval is from Africa...There is no speacial care for the Savannah per say. they act like dogs in some respects. If you would like to discuss the options you have for purchasing a Savannah you can contact me privatly at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) I can arrange some pictures for you to view if you are intersted. The cost would of course not be 22,000 that is five times what you would expect to pay for a good F1 which is 50% serval. savannah's range from anywhere between 800-7500
The Ashera IS a savannah that is why you cant get papers because if you did you would see what it really is. Any cat with Serval in its blood is a Savannah...again contact me directly at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

Hey I think I might have an Ashera (TM) cat. It is an F2 Savannah. Combo of Serval and ALC too. He is 4 years old. Weighs 40 lbs. Sweeter than most domestic cat breeds too. Was not 22k either.

Hey these cats dont look much different from a begal. I would prefer a cat that actually looks like a lepoard, that includes size!
If people can have Malamutes, and Eskimo dogs, which are pretty close to wolves, I want a cat that can tear the shit out of any doberman.

the bengal is a great breed, the savannah is a great breed. the ashera is a hoax. anyone that pays that much for a poor quality cat deserves to lose the 22k. as for the 'my cat breed is better than your cat breed' -- shut up. personal preference, ever heard of it? moving on.

looks like there is another person bashing the ashera, but in the same breath, trying to sell another, non-existant cat for not 22k, but 35k!!!

LOL! "Costa Pahket" Too funny!! That's British slang (That must have cost a packet!!)for something that costs too much money!!!
Maybe he will breed "Costa Fortunes" next?

If you really want a "leopard cat" just get a Bengal! This is another case of people paying astronomical amounts for a brand name.

i own 2 bengals and they are the most amazing pets i've ever owned, and besides the size, they look far more similar to a leopard than a savannah..
Posted by sean in san diego on Mon Jun 11, 2007 at 10:28 AM
nobody said a serval looks like a bengal. as far as temperment, thats your personal opinion. my bengal looks far more like a leopard than a savannah. and i want the leopard look. you're arguing opinion.
Posted by sean in san diego on Tue Jun 12, 2007 at 11:34 AM
you're a moron, you can argue with yourself from now on. enjoy.

hahah - that wasn't even my response, but i suppose it fits.
Posted by sean in san diego on Tue Jun 12, 2007 at 12:56 PM
you know, you're right, i'm just bitter because the only friends i have are my cats.

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.

cool. A cat-fight. I'm making popcorn. Carry on
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Tue Jun 12, 2007 at 01:15 PM
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

whoops, there goes my attention span timer. Thanks for the drama, as if
Posted by Hairy Houdini on Tue Jun 12, 2007 at 01:29 PM
for the record, NONE of that was me, the only reason i'm here is because i keep getting emails notifying me of the replies. thank you, please drive through.

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.

your 'sister' must have a big p3nis.

dude, when your album comes out and you tour all the gay clubs, can you get me on the guest list? there's nothing i like better than a bunch of sweaty mens dancing to 80's cover songs..
Posted by matt in ohio on Tue Jun 12, 2007 at 02:35 PM
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.
