ur cat is cute as hell how old is it were did u get it

It's a beautiful cat. However, it is still a cat. And it will do as all cats do, such as climb on your furniture, appliances and drapes. When the cat is a 4 foot long 30 pounder, can you really stop him? Also, at play when you and big kitty are rough-housing together and those paws wrap around your arm and those teeth nip or bite down on your hand 'just playing' can you really say its playing when it draws blood? I remember reading somewhere that our domestic housecats are so domestic mainly because of their small size. If they suddenly became the size of a leopard or wildcat, after a short time they would realize their power and would behave like their wild cousins. So although the Ashera is a beautiful beast I don\\\'t think I would want one in our house.

My cat has similar markings as the Ashera\'s do, only... he is gray w/ black markings, hes also got a raccoon\'s tail =]

these \'new\' cats are awesome, i definatly want one but there is no way i can afford the money. i read somewhere that they have basically the same type of domestic leopard cat and have had them legalized since 2000 in the US... and they only cost $2500-$5000 USD.. but one of these cats would be awesome to have.

and do these people who seem totally against the whole cross breeding think they hurt the animals?

breeding animals causes absolutely no harm to the animals. they arent murdering cats for the cells they need to cross breed. get your facts strait. and our little cats are able to draw blood, it isnt a big deal. worst case scenario is your cat is in a bad mood and you need a couple stitches and a shot or 2 of anti-biotic serums...

people do own tigers for pets you know. as they do a tribe of wolves, or insane monky's... and they aren't mauled daily...

Are you kidding me? Certainly the owner can afford to support their local Humane Society from the vulgar amount asked for this cat.

CE PISICUTA TARE!!!!!!!! PUN SI EU UNA LA VANZARE SA VEDEM CE IESE!!!!!

BAFTA PUFFYYY!!!

It\'s beautiful and really like the pattern on its fur but I think it would be safer if it is just about the size of a normal cat. Nobody would want to be scratched or bitten accidentally with that extra large claws and teeth, furthermore, it\'s too expensive.

First of all, very cool cat. It is very large and has a very colorful coat and a cool body shape! The price tag is excessive to me. I wonder how much is due to development costs and how much is due to hype, marketing and artificially low 'production' to stimulate demand? The references to possible injury are reasonable...this cat will have large claws and teeth, but other commonly kept animals have dangerous weapons too. The thing I'd be cautious of is the breed's temperament and instincts. This cat is bred closer to the wild than the more common breeds of domestic cat, I would assume. I wonder if there is a more aggressive, territorial, or defensive streak in this cat that would make it more likely for attack instincts to be triggered? A pit bull, or Akita, for example, would tend to be larger and have more dangerous jaws, but of course, dog claws are less of a problem. Still, large agressive dog breeds would pose more of a danger to friends, family and others than this cat.

I have to have one of these! I once owned an Ocelot when I lived in Peru. She was so beautiful but I always felt like she was thinking of ways to turnme into lunch (if I was a cartoon, she would look at me and I would turn into a giant drumstick). But this! I have to have one. Now I just have to explain to my husband where the $20,000 went...

Sorry all...cat has to be spayed/neutered before they even get to you...did you honestly think they wouldn't do that? Not when they can get $22,000 a kitty and $28,000 for a "hypo-allergenic" one...tack on an extra $6,000 for a kitten, and whoever is running this is rolling in the dough! Not a cheap kitty

The reason they spay and/or neuter the Ashera is to uphold the standard of the breed. If they are not spayed/neutered then inevitably they will breed outside the Ashera lineage and therefore taint the breed. Would I like to own one? You bet! For anyone that is a cat lover, this is the Grand Champion of \"Here Kitty, Kitty\" but they seem to have more wild cat DNA than domestic and that frightens me. I own 2 domestic cats and they are leash trained and only go outside with their leash on supervised still, sometimes we encounter dogs that try to come right up to us and it makes my cats uncomfortable. I cannot fathom what an Ashera would do to me or a dog that became aggresive. Would the wild cat DNA kick in and would I find myself in a position that could severly hurt me or the dog and would I be held liable if it did hurt the dog? They don\'t say whether it gets along with other animals. What about my cats or someone else\'s pet dog? Would Ashera turn on our pets? too many unanswered ???

Is everyone nuts? This is still a wild animal with instincts to strick and attack. This "RARE" species should be left alone & live free & in the wild where they belong.

How would you feel if this animal suddenly & for no reason attacked a child or some other animal? don't you read the news on how many Pit Bulls had to be put down because it did attack.

Not only is a child or someone elses family pet traumatized or dead, but then your "kitty" will be put down & there goes $20000 out the window.

Can't you think of doing something better with the $20000? How about helping the homeless & donated it to the fire department for better equipment, since they put their lives on the line every day for YOU or police department. How about the school departments for supplies.

To the person who said they would trade their cat away in a heartbeat for this cat that should not be in captivity, you are exactly the type pf person who should not own an animal. Great emotional harm is done by shuffling animals around. How about giving your bratty kids away instead? I thought not, or maybe so. It is cruel to keep these half domesticated cats in captivity.

I'd rather have a savannah.. or a bengal, or you know what? Give me a savannah and a bengal and I'll breed them and get those lovely, plain, overpriced 'Asheras' that everyone seems to be fawning over.

But before all that, I'd rather have my siamese, my orange/white tabby, and my two tortie kittens. These cats aren't anything special over a savannah or a bengal, and honestly bengals and savannahs are more striking in appearance then this mixie. 20k for a cat.. I wonder how many 3rd world children would have ate from that kind of money. The materialistic human ways never cease to amaze me. :)

Shit! If you let that cat out for a walk I'm sure it would clean up all the neighbour-hood cats for breakfast!
