Many of us know Pumba, which lives under the ownership of a couple in Russia. He hisses at everything, you don't know if he's happy, sad, scared...he always seems to be angry. I don't rule out that this beast could attack its owners one day.
Pumba only seems to be friendly around the female, there's a video where she is cuddling him
i wonder how dangerous pumba is when he gets so hungry...like if you missed his meal...he might attack someone, who knows...
Reasons to not have a caracal as a pet:
They're not pets, the end

Lmao!
Sarval cats also are wild cats, same goes for margey cats. But they are somehow so much affectionate if raised from early age.
They may eat you or your infant child
Bullshit. I had a Serval, they are similar in size to Caracals, this channel is full of fear mongering exagerrations.
Out of all the comments, not one owner of a Caracal has claimed they got rid of theirs because it acted like this clown claims. Not one.

I m a wild person so got a wild cat. -famous last words 😅
Bruh I'm an abnormal person and I still wouldn't get one of these wild cats.
I stayed for the pictures tbh
You forgot it will kill you in your sleep!
Fine, you've convinced me not to get a caracal so I'm gonna get a Jaguar instead.
I am more of a lion guy myself
I’ll get the Tiger
You're not normal. Let them be free. Get a smaller domestic cat instead
@lidiaziolkowski3965 Its a joke lol
@@lidiaziolkowski3965 why shouldn't they be free then? kinda hypocritical....
This video is made for pumba owner, the most famous caracal
Pumba owner apologists too.
That acc just showed up on my homepage and is the reason I’ve been looking up info abt them. Have they ever said how they train pumba, deal with health issues and restless behavior?
I am in love with Pumba's deadly hiss.
Yup 😂😂😂😂
@@insaneboy1234don't touch his food
Caracals are very, VERY defensive and twitchy, and they hate being approached. They are powerful predators, but they are not apex predators, meaning they are always on the defensive in the wild to protect themselves from even larger predators. They're not a pet you can, well, pet. They are also large enough to cause grievous harm to humans.
They aren't even tame, much less domesticated. Might as well bring a cougar into your house.
Thank you for the advice. Brought a cougar home and my girlfriend got really upset, I'm guessing I brought the wrong cougar
@@dj-qn7ym 😂😂😂😂
@@dj-qn7ym "NO! THIS IS PATRICK!!"
I'll take one. they look awesome
These are just owned by people with a lot of extra money to throw at anything. I knew someone who got one and it killed both her in door regular cats.
#8 Because it’s selfish to bring a wild animal to your tiny home outside of their natural habitat .
the best reason by far
The best reason to bring them home.
you know most caracal owners most likely didn't get them in the wild in the first place.
I myself am not opposed to pet ownership. But there is a definite fine line between domesticated and wild animals. The only middle ground I can see where having a wild animal live in close proximity to you being acceptable is if you're a trained professional, you have all the required permits and paperwork to have possession of that wild animal, and, this is most important, the intent of having a wild animal with you is rehabilitation (for previous injury or some other factors that make survival in the wild doibtful) to eventually be released back into the wild.
Completely agree!!!!!!!!
Pumba alone is enough not to welcome this cat in your home.😂
Agreed but look at Gus, have yet to see her hiss, she’s the exception though
@@stevenbjerke302That's probably because, of those rare exceptions -- the owners of those caracals actually know what they are doing and care for the animal carefully.
Like having a big enough yard for them to frolic in, toys that give them a reason to "hunt", other animals they can interact and socialize with, etc. People need to understand that having an animal like this takes a lot of effort, education, patience and planning.
Haha very true! There is this couple in Russia that have a channel and their pet is an adult Puma. I don’t recommend getting one but this Puma is lovey dovey with his owners. Much better behaved than Pumba. Sad thing about Pumba is he’d prolly be messed up if they suddenly put him back in the wild cause he’s been raised in a house now.
Pumba is extremely pissed off 24/7. Pumba is also very overweight. They really aren't doing it any favours keeping it as a 'pet'.
This is like deciding not to like people in general after watching everyone arguing on All in the Family.
Speaking of Caracals, what's the deal with that one named Pumba who seems to be all over the place? I don't care what anyone says, that cat is CLEARLY under stress CONSTANTLY. I know people say that hissing for Caracals isn't the same for other cats since they have a limited inventory of vocalizations to use for communication, and while that may be true, literally all info I could find confirms that hissing still always indicates negative emotions, even if it doesn't always indicate high aggression as with other cats. It makes me uncomfortable cuz like, wtf are they doing to that cat that's it's so distressed all the time?? and why does everyone act like its just normal??
Same here.
If they get out, they will hunt the neighbours' pets.
I agree with you in 1000 %
Agreed
Are you sure it's stressed? That constant hissing might just be the Cats personality. The Cat might have just been born an ashhole. I've known people who are not happy unless they are pissed off about something.

If you like larger cats, get a Maine Coon - they are super sweet and friendly, and can grow up to 22+ pounds. Caracals for the most part don't make a good house pet. I would be uncomfortable sleeping with one.
I jus want a fat big fucking cat
I have a black cat that’s 17.5 lbs 😫 his name is Salem and he’s 4 years old.
Then my girl cat (Russian blue) is a measly 9lbs 😂
It's my dream to own a Maine Coon. They look incredibly affectionate.
Might wind up being a very looong sleep.
Why sleepin with a cat in the first place... zoophilia is bad

The heck is a floppa?
@@Pyxis10 The name of a Popular caracal.
good luck for being sooooo Naive and compromising everybody's safety by choosing this cat as a home pet... well, KARMA is 5G!
Just learned about this cat from seeing videos of them being kept as pets. The first reason not to get one makes sense when I see how sleek and lean they look in the wild versus captive ones who look like chubby barrels. Wild animals are happiest in the wild so that's where they belong.
How do you know that?? Have you spoken to a domesticated wild animal and they expressed their feelings to you? I think the real risk is they are wild and not easy in a house so they're at risk for being abandoned. But if people are capable, domesticated wild animals are far healthier and live much longer, and objectively most often look really happy. That being said, I'd never recommend on purpose getting a wild animal for a pet
The ones kept as pets become obese easily
@@michah321
I don’t think it’s very black and white. Quite gray rather.
Too many instances of both can be argued. So it depends.
@@michah321 history just taught us if a normally fit animal becomes obese, it is because it is missing something. Whether that be space, a part of their diet, a way to exercise, or it may be depressed. It could also be a medical condition but the last thing that a cat would be is obese, at least a caracal pumba. It would probably lack motivation, but hey, every individual animal is a little different. Just a good rule of thumb for wild animals in this scenario
na bro wild animals aren't that easy to make them in your house + they shouldn't be kept as a house pets they were born to live in wild even if they die its alr that how things works in wild@@michah321
Thanks for the information. I'll stop dreaming of getting a Caracal as a pet. I'll get a bobcat instead.
That is even worse a bobcat is just a bigger more aggressive little shit
Well the worst part is that the gov makes you chop the fingers off 🥲
Well not the fingers but the part of the finger that contains the claws
get a Siberian lynx

That’s what I said! Pumba gets scary often… he could really lay the hurt on.
I knew #5 was coming. The amount of people who own these and let them cohabitate with their domestic pets, is actually insane to me.
when I first saw these being kept as pets, the first thing I assumed was "Oh I bet you cant have any other pets with that wild animal" lol
I've seen those short clips of the big cat Pumba. I check in from time to time to make sure the owner is still alive. Commenters ask "does that thing even like you?". They can't meow or anything. From what I've seen and read all they can do is hiss, so caracals always seem angry.
@@SRMoore1178 actually, there are quite a few videos where Pumba is chill. It seems she just doesn't like the camera near her. As long as they don't shove the camera in her face, she is quite a mellow thing believe it or not.
@@GenXerReacts
She’s a wild creature, dear. By definition she will never be tame. Meaning she can fly off the handle and take off a finger - or worse. Guess who suffers when that happens? (Hint - the cops that respond won’t shoot the human!)
Darwin awards to all of those fools.
Like dogs with small cattens? A worthless video, describing insanity of dog culture.
Caracals are basically a warm weather species of lynx, so if you're looking for an animal that poses a real threat to young children and other pets, they're perfect for the next low-budget wannabe "Tiger King" 😅😅
so you mean that big floppa should not be kept in home ?
@2dhistory197 not necessarily, but anyone calling these wild animals that do not belong in suburban homes "floppas" usually get what they deserve.
@@OpEditoriali have seen a video of caracals in the zoo meowing normally
@2dhistory197 and there's plenty of videos of pit bulls playing with toddlers. It doesn't mean that the dog breed isn't responsible for the majority of attacks on humans.
no there is no relationship between the 2 species
Moreover, from the videos I saw here on UA-cam, caracals always looked pissed anytime a human approaches them, hissing and showing other "annoyed cat" behaviour. They are surely beautiful creatures, but no idea why anyone in the right state of mind would like to keep such destructive and antisocial animals as pets.
From what I saw, the only wild cats that seem to be generally very friendly towards humans are cheetas, but even they, while more tame than other feline cousins, need way too much space and physical activity to be happy living as pets.
According to people who only read Reddit, that’s the only way they can communicate because booting up zeolites is too hard.
I wouldn't reccomend anyone to get a caracal, but the only one I see hissing and annoyed all the time is Pumba. Gosha and Adolf rarely hiss and are way calmer. Maybe Pumba wasn't or isn't well treated or it's just his personality.
@@henrikardorski7995 well that because he doesn't like the camera the everytime Pumba hisses he is looking at the camera.
Had no issues but thanks.
It's got to the point where if I see a "pet" Caracal video I'm 99% sure there's going to be a hiss at the camera.
They aren't pets. This enough should be a clue.
whos here after watching pumba xD

Warning to Humans..."DONT keep dangerous animals in your home"
Humans... " i want one now!"
Absolutely No sense in some people anymore. Sigh...😢
Heres a fun fact. People like the idea of having a pet. But not taking care of a pet.
Veruca Salt. ‘I want it now.’
i'm side eying the people that say, "this is the same with ALL cats" 🙄😒 there's a huge difference and you know that, or else they'd be readily available in pet stores smh. they are wild animals and do not belong jn someones' home. imagine being fully independent, doing whatever you want and someone forces you to live the rest of your life in their house and/or backyard. basically imprisoned. i'm sure most people wouldn't like that. observing them in their natural habitat is okay. having them as a pet is not.
You are completely right. I wonder if these people think that wolves are just like dogs as well and would be willing to keep a wolf in their home or even in their neighbor's home. Because comparing a caracal with your average pet cat is like comparing a wild wolf with a golden retriever. Only an idiot wouldn't see the difference...
I think it's closer to a Huskey. TO be clear, Huskies are not far removed from Wolves, and I very specifically choose them, as they have some of the strongest prey drives among Domesticated dogs. They ALSO cannot be healthily kept inside a home. That particular breed of dog must be socialized, trained, and managed when outside of it's intended habitat, and only *slightly* less within it.
I also think it's important to clarify that I do not think most people are properly equipped to care for a Caracal, but the pearl clutching when one is seen as a pet is a bit much. They are not the same as a lion or a Bengal Tiger.
@@veronicamonti8054
Well the exception would be feral stray cats, who have never had human contact. They also don’t belong in your home. They don’t want to be there, they don’t want affection, they just want to be free. I experienced this recently when i trapped a litter of kittens and their mom. I only kept mom for as long as I needed to to get her fixed. I felt so bad for her she just hid under the toilet in my bathroom…heartbreaking\
I feel so bad for the Caracals forced into being pets.
Seriously in 95% of the videos I've seen of them they're on edge, anxious and hissing at the camera. Sorry but it's just not an appropriate pet to get.
House pets? They don’t look like they’d want to use a litter box.
You're definitely right about that!
They hiss to communicate. Did you not know that?
@@FlyyKaRizZmA They can purr but most hiss at people. Why do you think?
Aka Pumba
There's a Russian couple who own one called Pumba. He has a channel on here. He just seems to hiss when the camera is on him! They have three of them but he seems more aggressive!
A stubborn hard headed cat? Isn't that like 90% of ALL cats?
Hard Headed, Stubborn and can do some serious damage to you.
Cat hater detected 😅
Well, cats have been domesticated for centuries. I did a quick search on the internet and the statistics about domestic cats attacking humans are not alarming. It doesn't happen very often and the cats with behavioral problems are usually not causing lethal harm. As for the caracals, they are way more aggressive than cats, they have the same survival instincts of a wild animal and their attacks on humans are more lethal. We must think of them as stronger and more massive wild cats.
Yeah, most of the talking points were just describing normal cats.
Their aggressive, wild nature and size are the real issue
Found the dog nutter.
one of the things I really like about caracals is how they look like Pokémon, specially when they're kittens and make a noise that sounds like lasers firing. that said, yes, they're not good pets, even more so when one considers how hard it is to know when they're angry and when they're just vocalizing, because they *hiss* either way
this video and the comments agreeing give me hope 🥲 i got a few of those exploitative “exotic pet” videos recommended to me featuring one overweight and very defensive caracal and was so disturbed that most of the comments seemed fine with it. i’m glad people here recognize that these beautiful and intelligent animals belong in the wild, not the home (for their safety and ours!)
If i'm not wrong there's a video of this same Caracal walking on the streets of a certain neighboorhood without a leash.
Imagine if someday some neighbor is playing with his kids down in the street and this wild cat gets frightened and run towards their direction.
Such irresponsability to think that a animal like that can be treated as a pet.
I totally agree with you. I think I know the video of the obese caracal. Was his name Pumba?
@@Pawknee123 Yes, Pumba!
I've seen many of those videos of Pumba and the sad thing is the Carcal every single time acts aggressive towards the owner. Some comments thought it was cute but many of them want the Carcal to be freed. He even had a video where he's holding meat and then walking away. The Carcal is pissed because it wants the food. How disgusting.
This Pumba is much too fatal, he is not healthy.
Bit I don' t think, that it is aleays Bad to keep them. If you have large private ground with trees, rocks and meadows and offerhiml a play- mate I think you could. It can even be o.k. to cuddle with him, but not too much! The owner of Pumba really drowns him wirh Kissen, way too much for an animal and even for child!
Let Carcals, and every wild Animal live their lives in their natural environment!
It's insane that people would bring animals into their home that could kill them in an instant. I've seen the videos on here of the one Caracal that keeps hissing at the owner. People in the comments are like, oh no, that's how they communicate. But most of the times the hissing looked threatening or territorial to me, because it happened when Caracal was being approached.
No it couldn't. A caracal killing a human would be like a human killing a grizzly bear in melee combat. Extremely unlikely.
They dont get bigger than 18kg so its highly unlikely that they could kill an adult human.
If they jumped on a person and buy into their throat along with their claws they can kill a human. Especially a child
@@nikiasublett8916 very unlikely scenario. They prefer to run away as its dangerous for them to pick a fight with an adult human being. A child, sure.
If you think this small ass cat can kill you then you need to rethink everything you’ve learned and stop being a pussy
I have a cat and he's a handfull. Sometimes house cats will playfully scratch and bite you, and you will just get a small scratch mark here and there. If one of these guys scartches or bites me, I'll be missing chunks of flesh from my arms and hands, or worse. I'll take me chances with a domestic cat.
I was thinking the same thing! 🙄😳
I've had cats that would want a tummy rub and then after a while start rough housing. One of them when he asked for tummy rubs you learned to look for the crazy eyes in advance.
Such a beautiful creature. I'd love to own one but it would be sad knowing it probably won't truly be happy as it would be if it was in the wild and hunting for prey.
say that to those rabbits
You have to get them as kittens
If you love them, let them go
These big cats know where they are supposed to be...The ppl who own them just don't care to know where they are supposed to be. In keeping them as pets(they were not intended to be pets) the ppl who own them may be liable if these cats escape outside to neighbors or the public & they injured or kill some innocent person or if the cat loses it's life. They may be dangerous by nature & no amount of petting or training cannot change their inborn nature to bite hiss growl or bite! I just wonder why some ppl won't believe this?😮😮😮
#8 As a pet, that would be a miserable life for that cat!
Will it keep my mother out of my house? Yes.

The past few weeks I have seen Pumba on my news feed on Facebook all the time. At first I thought it was kind of cool. I learned what a caracal is. After a couple weeks, it has gotten really old and I got sick of it and the constant hissing. I hid the account because I got tired of seeing it always on my feed. This cat clearly belongs in the wild and its owners are using it for clicks at its expense.

That's the best reason to get one. That, or in the event someone tries to rob your house
I got a Caracal a few years back. And the person I got it from had nothing but great things to say about it. Needless to say, I went to the grocery store to get some food to grill out, because my wife's grandma was in town. My wife was still at work, Porter ( The cat ) seemed to get along with my wife's grandma, so I thought everything would be ok for 20-25 minutes. When I got home and opened the door Shelly, my wife's g- ma was in a pool of blood halfway on, and halfway off our sofa. She was decapitated. And our Yorkie was just a blur of blood and fur. The whole ordeal cost me a fortune, and my marriage. I'm still finishing up some last things in court. Moral of the story. DO NOT OWN THESE CATS, no matter what people tell you! P.S. We never could find my ex's grandma's head...
I shared a house with a guy once in Florida. His girlfriend gave him a house cat, and he didn't want anything to do with it. The cat had been feral. That cat was totally unpredictable. I'd be sitting shirtless in the back yard, reading the paper. The cat would jump on my lap to get petted. When he decided he didn't want to be petted anymore, he would suddenly, without warning, CLAW me across the chest. He couildn't be trained. Imagine how much damage that Caracal can do.
You have to get it as a kitten
@@adessachui7777 Not always. I've had several feral adults integrate excellently with the other humans.

Russians: I'll pretend I didn't hear that
Had bear, Caracal for people too intimidated to have bear
Or don't have space for bear and still want forbidden beans
I've seen the Pumba/Floppa videos and these beautiful demon kitties are best admired in their own habitats
The kittens are about as adorable as cats get…but no way in hell are they great pets. When my friends’ caracal died, they got two house cats. There was suddenly joy where there had not been before. If you want a big cat get a Maine Coon.
Reason number 5: "Eventually, they'll look to you as prey!" 😲😲😲
They are beautiful animals. I would love to own one, but I know these animals are too good to obey man and should be left in their rightful place doing what they were born to do.
So basically if you cant spend 24/7 with a Caracal, theyre not a good choice for you.
Thanks for this video....Im amazed by their looks.....incredibly beautiful animals.....but this is the first informative video Ive seen and appreciate it. Thanks!

This is ridiculous everybody wants one because of the meme
Give me 7 reasons i should
lol, and that's the truth!
Beautifully explained...
Those kittens are adorable.
A caracal is not different than a domestic cat which is a direct descendant of the African Wildcat. But because of their size, they will be much more happy if they have protected outdoor areas ( fenced areas).
All cats need crude protein and that means ideally, fresh internal organs. They need high places to perch and enough space for solutide. There are many homes that can provide these things sutuationally.
One reason is some night you'll come home and discover you're no longer the boss.
😂
Looks like Raichu unlike a normal cat looking like a Pikachuu
🤣
Another reason is this thing called 'common sense" that seems to not be so common these days.
They aren't house pets....at all. The one that hisses constantly is why. People say "well they hiss to communicate". I call bs. I've seen plenty not act that way....& I wouldn't have those ones either. If it hisses for everything....then how would you know if it was angry or happy or whatever? Sounds dangerous either way.
You can tell if they pissed based on ear placement but yea they shouldn’t be pets unless you can build them a outside sanctuary of some sorts
Wouldn’t not want that cat 🐈⬛ noooo to mean
Someone should go rescue that cat that has been kept indoors like that. It's not healthy for any of us. It needs to be understood, respected and rehomed in a sanctuary and/or reintroduced into the wild.
It all depends on the owner. Irresponsible and careless owner... severe injury or death.
Responsible owner with common sense.... injury minimal.... death avoided because you have an established relationship.
Plenty of men and women out there walking next to and living with prides of lions and other wild animals. Every animal also has its personality.... I guess i wouldn't have one as a pet unless it's a newborn that grows with me.

This is the kind of "pets" that only whimsical, selfish and/or stupid people have, mostly due to internet trends. A caracal is a wild animal, not a big hissing cat with cute ears. In my country is totally ilegal having one as pet, and im glad for it.
When they hiss at you it is impossible to tell if they are greeting you or if they are angry at you.
I just do not believe that hiss is ever a friendly greeting. Caracal owners who laugh at their cat's hissing are a twisted bunch.
Their ears. This is how you tell.
Caracals speak the cat equivalent of german
@@AstrumKitten091 Just another misconception that gets repeated in various comment section. Truth is hissing is never friendly nomather if the ears are up or down. Ears down just suggest its feeling threatened. Ears up hissing is a sign its asserting its dominance or simply telling you to back off.
Hissing is never a hello. Thats just a repeated misconception.
In my country (France), you actually need a permit / lisence, (just like a driver's lisence) to own such pets. (Aggressive dogs, Caracals, Pumas, any "dangerous" and "aggressive" pet) and you get some inspections from the authorities every year or so, to verify the condition in wich the animal lives in, etc...
I feel sorry for those caracals, they deserve better, but at least some people actually take great care of them and know what they need
You won’t crush my floppy dreams…
Same if the world is against floppa I'm against the world
If floppa have 1m subs I'm one of em
If he only has 1 sub then I'm that one

We need better laws nationwide about this stuff. These animals don’t belong in a suburban house. They are not pets.
They so beautiful and the kittens are absolutely precious.
Fat Pumba disapproved this

Like I always say..if you need a battle axe to keep them in check..then they are not pet material.
The biggest reason not to get a caracal is because they're assholes. They always hiss and growl at you for no reason. Even when you feed them, they don't warm up to you. These cats aren't the type to keep around your family.
Shut the hell up, look at the comment section before you speak, bro hissing is their language who is the asshole now? The video man says that it’s hard to like warm up to them??

@@smokedcheese6431 well, it may be unfair to call them "assholes" since it's just their wild nature, but what they guy wrote isn't wrong.
Owning a Caracal is cruel. These cats are meant to roam free, never caged in a house.
"I couldn't believe it when I came across your video on caracals because I had just created a similar video on my own channel! It's incredible to see how we both took an interest in these magnificent creatures and chose to share our knowledge with the world. Your video was incredibly well-researched and presented, and I can definitely relate to the excitement and passion you displayed. It's great to find fellow content creators who share the same interests. Keep up the fantastic work on your channel!"
Why is this in quotations?

I get the appeal of getting a big cat, and that is what certain breeds of large DOMESTICATED house cats are for.
I watched this video of a caracal biting clean through a raw chicken drum stick and couldn't help but think of what a bite like that would do to the bones in our hands or wrists.
Beautiful animals, I look forward to seeing videos of them in the wild, and maybe one day catching a glimpse of one myself out there.
Belongs in the wild!
They're not legal to own in the U.S. entirely I thought but thanks to you for informing that it goes state by state wow ughhh LEAVE THEM IN THE WILD!!!!!! Yup go to a shelter and adopt a kitty be there forever hoooman ❤💯🐾🐈⬛
Every time I see a video from people who have one in their house they're always hissing aggressively. I dont understand people who want that energy in their home, it'd stress me out

Im so glad i saw this after seeing pumba, i felt like its insane how much pumba visibly hates his owner and the owner just keeps on uploading
I got an caracal Cat right now on my lap he always goes on a walk always is gentle and cuddle bug very big paws dont matter plus they dont attack humans that often and some are pretty chill so u may change ur mind on getting one allthough it cost like 50k to get one actually for ur self but be aware they can be dangerous but sometimes they are cuddle bugs
I'M MAD AT GOD FOR MAKING THEM LOOK SO CUDDLY WITH A MEAN TEMPERMENT
This cat probably would have solved my mouse problem a lot faster than a bunch of traps.
That was brilliant thank you ❤

Imagine using them as bodyguards.
Would be a pretty terrible body guard as they prefer to run away than pick a fight with someone 5x their size.
I'm so glad this popped up in my recommendations. I've been getting those shorts from that caracal owner for days. That poor thing needs to be taken away from them.
Their bite will tear your flesh and into your bones.
I live in Berkeley CA and I once got out of my car to meet some friends for a party in a residential neighborhood and there was one of these just standing there on the sidewalk staring at me. It must of been a juvenile- not quite fully grown. It was very odd . I’d never seen one or even heard of them before this. I guess somebody did have one as a pet .
So it's not a good idea to get wild animal to be your house pet, I get it.
Yet, once taken in, putting them back out in the wild, is the cruelest thing one can do.
One in ten thousand people commenting recognize this dire fact.
Source for your figures or they're bullshit
I will NEVER understand why people want these. Yes, they really are absolutely gorgeous...GET A PORTRAIT CANVAS OF ONE THEN.
Now I'm sure people dont get them for their looks alone, but I cant think of any other reason to get them.
Pumba and Gosha's owners should watch this.
Do not try to make wild animals live in your house. The #1 cause of death of house cats is being put down in shelters. Go save a couple of cats. They want to live with you!
Wow I've only seen a handful of people with caracals as pets and was already like "why are they as fat as my house cat?" but I had no idea how cheetah like they were in the wild (vs like say a leopard who is a thicker breed of large cat). Due to their paw size I had no idea how drastic the difference was, and it breaks my heart. And how often these cats are hissing (with ears back and full teeth engaged) they aren't happy. So few are content with their owners, and I assume they're doing more for them activity wise even if they are on the chunky side still. But just let them live in the wild or in a sanctuary. Hell, even a zoo would give them more space to roam than a house/apartment/condo. Stop buying them as pets. Fennec foxes also have big ears and are safer exotic pets that can't eat you/maul you. (Fennec fox protectors don't come for me, I'm just saying. I'm sure there are plenty of people who beg for us to stop making them pets too)
Pumba is one of those owned cats. I can't stand to see him growling and hissing all the time. I wish there were laws to help these cats when they end up in the wrong human hands.
Having a caracal as a pet, is an insult to its nature, unless you too live a hunter's lifestyle out in the woods.
What a majestic beautiful beast.
Sounds like my Teenage sons.
This cat is good only for rich people, because the cost of buying it, feeding it, cost of territory you have to own for this cat is cosmic.
Gosha seems to do just fine
@@fungo6631 that family is well off if you couldnt tell from the 9 bedrooms
@@fungo6631 Yeah those people have money that's why 😂
I don't know why people insist on bringing wild animals into their homes. It's not cool to own such animals.
You will need to use your bathtub as a litterbox for this cat..
Haha
As a bathtub floppa, I approve.
Finally, someone with some sense.
I adopted a cat feom the humane society. I would visit every week after having to put my cat to sleep. He arrived one day, i fell in love. They let me hold him. He was growlimg and hissing, but i knew i wanted. He had one cannjne tooth that stuck out. That made him look mean. The other was gone. It was because he was badly abused. He became so lovable and protective of me. Some people were scared of him, because of the snarl of his tooth sticking out. Then there was the growling. He was one of the best cats I've ever had. ❤️
So except for the big-and-strong & difficult-to-find points pretty much the same as some of the more active breeds of house-cat 🤷♀.
I agree with all of these, but I am curious if there is a difference depending on how many generations the cats have been in human contact. Caracals have a pretty long history of human cohabitation, the royalty of India used to use them for bird hunting (since they can jump high enough to actually catch birds out of the air). I just wondering if caracals descended from those who have been with people for 500 or so year are "better" behaved than ones that are only a generation away from wild (or actually from the wild).
"they can jump high enough to actually catch birds out of the air" So can any random house
cat, if a bird flies low enough.
@@hwgray They're talking about wild game.
Why would I want to get the hissing killing machine? ._.
Absolutely agree. This is a wild animal and does not belong inside a home. It is cruel to the animal and dangerous for humans. Maybe some guys think it's pretty cool to have a wildcat as a pet, but its a stupid thing to do.
Such a beauty!!)
