    We got lucky with Felis sylvestris; all other small wildcats have been far too paranoid and aggressive to be domesticable.

      They domesticated themselves. Saw an opening and took it. We got lucky they chose us.

      There was this meme of some Russian dude who kept a caracal as a pet. I’ve also seen people have servals as pets. I think they’ll likely just be as unpredictable as house cats but the damage they can do is much bigger.

      It is one of the great things about the Romanian language, which in all other respects is basically just Latin, that “cat” is not “cattus” or “felus”, but rather “pisica”. Because pspsps…

    I love how it seems to have the vibe “goddamn it they found me”. Real cat behavior.

      I know - it’s like looking at new games on a Steam Sale, when you already have a library of underplayed and unplayed games.

      I’ve already got cats who would love to hang out with me a bit more, and the local animal shelters have many unhomed cats already in them.

      But I want the special new cat.

        As part of avoiding US companies, friendship with Steam is over. Now GOG is my best friend.

      a local wildlife sanctuary that had just been given what they described as “a weird cat.” It came from a local man who found it as a kitten on a road near a forest. The man took the animal home, believing it to be a domestic breed. But after about a year of living with the clearly wild animal, he realized it would be better off at a sanctuary.

        If he could manage a full year then this will probably be fine as a house cat so long as you raise it from a kit.
