Maybe he met an arfcomer that didn't like cats, and lived?

About the OP's cat video. It is truly sad to see an animal that was treated in such a way that it would never be able to be comfortable around humans again. Really a sad sight to behold.
Now Bengal's are just funny cats to have around. Too bad that they are illegal to own in my state. |
That made my morning. |

I had 2 cats, Roscoe and Enos,go in to get their nuts cut and the reaction as they came off their anesthesia was exactly like that. They went apeshit and tried to destroy the very fabric of the universe. I put them in a cardboard box to take them home and they came thru the side of that thing and sat in the back seat hissing and growling. I actually though I might have to beat them to death to make it home. One of them would go hiking with me, and spotted a nice timber rattler for me. The other one chased away the meter reader simply by leering and yelling at him thru the screen. |
   The music fit just perfect. |
Why the fuck are they illegal? I live with one now, and they're just like any other cat (but fucking noisy). |
They're a cross between Asian leopard cats and domestics - some states consider them to be wild cats, not domestics. Same problem with Savannahs (Serval x domestic) |
They're as domestic as any other domestically-bred cat in the U.S. If the individual cat itself is not first generation of domestic/wild, then it's just like any other domestic cat. |
I agree with you, but some politicians and Peta freaks don't. I'm pretty sure Denver considers any hybrid to be wild, despiite Bengals proven track record of just being cool cats, not a threat to society at large. |

GAME AND FISH CHAPTER 5. WILD ANIMALS O.C.G.A. § 27-5-5 (2007) § 27-5-5. Wild animals for which license or permit required (a) The following animals are considered to be inherently dangerous to human beings and are subject to the license or permit and insurance requirements provided for in subsection (f) of Code Section 27-5-4: (b) Except as provided in this Code section, a license or permit is required for the following wild animals and any others specified by regulation of the board: (1) Class Mammalia: (A) Order Marsupialia (opossum, wallabies, etc.) -- All species; (B) Order Insectivora (shrews, moles, etc.) -- All species; (C) Order Dermoptera (flying lemurs) -- All species; (D) Order Chiroptera (bats) -- All species; (E) Order Primates (monkeys, apes, etc.) -- All species except Family Hominidae; (F) Order Edentata (sloths, armadillos, etc.) -- All species; (G) Order Pholidota (pangolins or scaly anteaters) -- All species; (H) Order Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares, etc.) -- All species except Genus Oryctolagus; or any other normally domesticated species; (I) Order Rodentia (rats, mice, etc.) -- All species except Genus Cavia; Genus Gerbillus; Genus Mesocricetus; Mus musculous; Rattus rattus; Rattus norvegicus; or any other normally domesticated species; (J) Order Cetacea (whales, dolphins, etc.) -- All species; (K) Order Carnivora (weasels, ferrets, cats, bears, wolves, etc.) -- All species, except that a European ferret (Mustela putorius furo) may be sold, purchased, exhibited, or held as a pet without a license or permit; provided, however, that the ferret owner can provide valid documentation that the ferret was sexually neutered prior to seven months of age and is vaccinated against rabies with a properly administered vaccine approved for use on ferrets by the United States Department of Agriculture; Part in red covers Bengal cats. You can get a permit for ownership, however here are the license requirements. (k) Wild animal licenses shall not be issued unless the following conditions are met: (1) The applicant must be at least 18 years of age; (2) Applicants requesting a license for mammals must obtain a license from the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service of the United States Department of Agriculture or provide written documentation that the applicant is exempt from such requirements; (3) Applicants must submit documentation verifying that the proposed construction of facilities and the holding of wild animals is not prohibited by county or municipal ordinances; (4) The applicant must obtain required business licenses; and (5) Facilities for holding or exhibiting wild animals must be completely separated from a residence and meet specifications for humane handling, care, and confinement as provided in Code Section 27-5-6. Pretty much nullfies any hope of private ownership of bengal cats. 5 years ago a bill was produced to allow an exception for bengal cats, but it never left the senate. |
