Fishing Cat does that. When one of these threads starts, someone will make reference to him being a fishing cat numerous times. Then, someone will ask what kind of cat he is (and usually where to get one).

They look like they are mis proportioned. I would still have one as a pet though as long as it was cool with regular cats. I seem to remember somewhere reading about hybrid fishing cats x domestic cats.

you can own mountain lions/pumas with a permit but not a fishing cat?

They're called bagrals, but finding more info is nigh impossible. For some reason it seems like all the bagral breeders have disappeared from the face of the earth.

After I posted that about hybrids I went googling last night. All the info I could really find was that F1 hybrids had very low fertility. Maybe they gave up on the project.

A while back I also saw a non-recognized breed of domestic cat that lives on some island in Africa. They believe that population is descended from cats kept by the ancient Egyptians. Maybe one of those would be a more realistic pet. I am gonna have to find the name of them now

It has been speculated that because of circumstantial evidence (which to date is unproved by DNA testing) cats resident in Kenya's Islands in the Lamu Archipelago may be the last living direct descendants of the sacred cats of ancient Egypt. The suggestive evidence is: similar body conformation, archeologically proven history of 1000 years habitation, ancient Red Sea trade between Lamu and Egypt, genetic insular isolation.

What about the Egyptian Mau? They at least look like the cats in ancient Egyptian paintings.

Well the difference is that the mau is a pure breed. It has had its breeding controlled to produce specific traits and such. It is a more recent creation.

The cats on Lamu are feral with no specific breed. The idea being that the cats there have been an isolated population for 1000+ years with no outside DNA so they would essentially be the same as the cats that founded the population who belonged to Egyptian traders.

Besides the cat on the cover of that book looks cool.

I imagine it would be hard to get a cat from Africa to the US though. Lots of quarantine and who knows what internal parasites a cat can pick up there. If I could do it with no risk to my other cats I would.

Haha that would be cool if you could own one. It would prolly beat up my dog though. xD

Are you talking about the fisher cat? I'm not sure many dogs could take one. They weight about twice as much as a cat and their claws are pretty vicious looking.

Looking at that pic I definitely think they look weird. His nose is too big and his ears are too small. They look like they have down's.
