Okay, so he isn’t a dog. He IS part serval so that has to count for something.

How big is he? Savannah? Any issues with “wild” behavior?
Mine is part Asian Leopard Cat. He had some discipline issues early on. I pretty much had to establish alpha dominance every few weeks.[/quote]
I have a bengal too! She’s a SBT though, so I haven’t experienced any behavioral issues with her… I’ve heard that the foundation generations (F1-F4) are the ones that tend to cause their owners a lot of grief! What generation bengal do you have?
Yes, the cat pictured is a savannah. He is a pretty big boy, he weighed 18 pounds at his last vet visit. He is still a kitten though and has another 3-6 months of growing still! He is about twice the size of my bengal. He DOES have some behavioral issues. He has managed to destroy every window screen in the entire house… He stalks and then sneak attacks which is by far, his most obnoxious behavior. Overall though, he’s a total clown and just has a really unique personality. [/quote]
Mine’s basically a reject from the bloodline. He’s marbled, but he has a bullseye whorl on his side. It’s a dominant gene, but something they don’t want to carry on.
But he makes a great pet. I think part of the “behavioral issues” are just being expressed because he’s male. He also has a tendency to shoot out the door if I’m not careful; he’s crawled all along the apartment rooftop, and he’s even found his way down from my balcony, by walking along a 1/4" protrusion of brick that I’d never even noticed.
I keep him inside, but he gets to walk outside on a harness now and again. It’s both a good thing and a bad thing that he’s not afraid of heights, and actually knows how to get down from a tree.
He still thinks he can catch a goose though, for some ridiculous reason.
And yeah, he really did try to hunt down my neighbors small dog… at least he was on the harness then.
