Oh. Well. There you go! You have your answer.

... I can't even imagine being 40...No offense to the 40 year olds!

Trust me. At age 68 and rapidly moving on I can vouch that, "You ain't seen nothin' yet!"

Oh, if I only knew at age 16 what I know now! :biggrin:

Lol! The good old "live life while you're young!" (which should mean we can do whatever we want, but instead includes hw, work, lack of support with hobbies, etc. hypocrtical much?

 

[Robotponys]

Just remembered a video of a serval F2 jumping 8 ft...Plus they are super strong... I want one! (kind of)

Not the exact one, but:

That is why I don't sleep anymore! I focus on my homework, work, and hobbies during the day and I focus on having fun at night! It's a love/hate relationship. Plus, my dad says it builds character.

Ha! I just procrastinate until midnight then I decide to shower and do violin and the rest of my HW. Of course my parents protest.

aha.. its not a Serval F2
ill explain::
if you breed a Serval and a domestic cat (more commonly a Bengal, or an Egyptian Mau) you will get an F1 Savannah which is 50% + wild (Serval) depending on the pedegree!!
then if you breed F1 with a bengal or Eqypt Mau you will get F2 Savannah which is 25% Serval, then F3 16% and so on...
hes an F7 Savannah!! i exaggerated a bit YET he costs $900
i was going to get an F3 but the cost is $1500
the price range is 600 - 8500 (yes, i said 8 Thousand)

:laugh: :laugh: wait...that wasn't a joke was it... lol that is CRAZY! I would upload pics of my cats, but I'm too lazy to download them from my phone...They were rescued from the street in the snow. who leaves 3 unweaned kittens in the snow in a cardboard box!!!! :wall: We took 2 black ones, the 3rd was white and adopted already (racist much? lol). But they were not supposed to be weaned yet, maybe another week or so. May have contributed to their tiny size and lean figure. But then again, we feed them a raw meat diet whih makes them bounce off the walls...literally climb the wall... : Plus they like veggies and citrus...

And helpful info about the F1, F2, F3, etc thing. Thanks

The poster was 'assuming' the cat was bitten by the tarantula. It may very well have been bitten by one of the other cats (eight, I think there were) in a squabble over which one got the tarantula 'prize'.

One way to keep cats out of your Ts: place multiple t enclosures into larger tank with weight in the bottom and a locking lid.

One of the reasons I got out of Ts for a number of years was because my cats were much too fascinated by them and managed to knock over a container and free one of them. Neither cats nor T were injured, but it wasn't worth the risk and I didn't have room for a secure set up.

Some people pay that for designer breed dogs, too.
Keep checking your local shelters and you will be able to pick one up for far less. That's where many of them are ending up, along with the 'high dollar' mixed breed dogs...

When you live in their house, eat their food, sleep in their bed, drive their car (?), etc., etc., etc., they own the air you breathe!

Yup! "He who makes the gold makes the rules."

I'm moving out when I turn 18.

I think all <18 yr olds have said those same words. I remember saying it myself. Almost a year ago my youngest daughter announced that to me. Just yesterday she said, "Mom, you know what, I don't think I'm ever moving out..." She'll be 19 soon. I can't get rid of her 22 year old sister either. LOL Guess it's time to raise their rent...

I can't even imagine being 40

And when you're 40 you'll wonder how you survived your younger years... LOL

While this topic is on Servals......Here is the real deal. They can easily jump 10ft from a dead stop and run 50mph.

If I don't, I'm moving out when I turn 18. I can't even imagine being 40...No offense to the 40 year olds!

I did move out when I was 18. I highly recommend it.

I'm not 40, but I'm pushing it now, and I can't imagine being 18. I haven't really changed much, but I still can't imagine being that person. And I haven't the slightest desire to go back. There are pros and cons to pushing 40, but one of the BIG pros is that you never have to post threads asking about the concerns about the parents' cats and the parents' concerns thereabout.

Whoa. Do you have a pet serval? Beautiful cat!

 

[Ultum4Spiderz]

that wild Cat has big ears.. how big they get?

 

[Amoeba]

No and I wouldn't want one, they are wild and generally not very well tempered. He does have good markings but his face isn't as pointy as his brothers.

that wild Cat has big ears.. how big they get?

22-38" to the base of the tail with a 8-15" tail. 30lbs is a good estimate for a healthy one. I don't know the height stat but they are tall and lanky. Oh and those ears can hear mice underground if I remember correctly.

 

[H Sapien]

just put your t's somewhere the cats wont know they are there. I keep mine on high shelves in a walk in closet. The cats have no way of getting to them.

IF you live in Vancouver, or Canada: this breeder is the BEST for Savannahs

i just skimmed through the thread but i have a cat that tries to eat rubber bands, wrappers, house plants, climbs onto desks and more, so i put my sling in the cabinet in my bathroom. then they get the humidity from people taking showers also.

[Amy Beth]

My cats are to old, fat, and lazy to pay attention to my Tarantulas. They just get mad if I pay more attention to the spiders than I do to them

 

[Frostbite]

My old cat just died of seizures at age 18... When he was a youngster, he went nose to nose with a A. seemani named "Tank" who happened to slip her enclosure. Cat had a pair of black dots on his white chin for the rest of his life from the bite. He came screaming up the steps and hid in his "cat house" for 2 days. Tank was just fine.....

 

[Robotponys]

Hee Hee my cat are TOO healthy!

Sorry about your cat. weird that the two bite reports are both from a. Seemani! You should post a bite report in the note report section.

I have to write a @$&*ing essay now. anyone want to help? Ugh! FML
