Bengal domestic cat
that’s what i thought as well. now looking at the comments and realizing i have no idea what any of the other cats look like, so i am no longer sure. i wish it was a bengal, tho. they’re lovely.
actually, I think it is ether a Serval, a small, African wild cat or a Savannah, a hybrid of the Serval and a domestic cat
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah_%28cat%29
apparently they are much more social and loyal than other cat breeds
Yes, and that loyalty makes them utterly psychotic when they are taken to the veterinarian. I’m a vet tech and have had the displeasure of getting to work with a couple of early-gen Savannahs. Those things are huge and evil as anything.
ITS A HUNTER-CAT FROM LEFT 4 DEAD
you’re right
No they’re not. Bengals are the size of any other domestic cat, and don’t have the enormous ears.
I believe that is a serval, a small african wildcat.
That is a serval.
It’s not a house cat, it’s a kind of desert wild cat called a cerval or serval. They catch birds in flight with their jumps!
This is an african serval, usually kept for breeding savannah cats.
More like “what species?” It’s a serval.
looks like it’s a Genet..
Have you ever even seen a picture of a genet? They look like a cross between a fox and a weasel. O_o
This is definitely a Serval:
http://www.lbah.com/images/kenya2007/serval.jpg
Not a Genet (which you would know if you had ever actually seen one):

Nor a Margay:
http://faculty.evansville.edu/ck6/bstud/margay4.jpg
Nor a Lynx (seriously people? Can you that dumb?):
http://wnbaoutsiders.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/lynx21.jpg
Nor a Serengeti Cat:
http://www.catfacts.org/serengeti-cat-facts.jpg
Nor a Bengal:
http://wildlifemysteries.files.wordpress.com/2009/06/bengal-cat.jpg
Nor a Cheetah (No words… I have no words):
http://karook.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/cheetah2.jpg
Nor is it an Ocelot:
http://whitesandscove.com/images/ocelot.jpg
It’s also probably not a Savannah Cat as they tend to have ears closer to the size of a domestic cat, but it could be an F1 or F2, I guess:
http://componentsofenthusiasm.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/savannah-cat3.jpg
Really people! Look at the markings, the ears, the nose and the size, it will help you identify an animal. At least look up the creature you are claiming this is before you post your answer. It’s not that tough!!
You sir, have done the most research on this post I’ve seen yet! +10 internets to you!
THANK YOU! I thought it was a Serval to begin with, but I looked it up just to be sure. But you have done far more research! And…still people continue to be…well, dumb. LOL
Kudos!
That’s a serval, an African wild cat. They’re neat!
That’s an African Serval!
at first i thought ocelot, then savannah, then a freaking cheetah but then i just said its a cheeting savannah-lot, but then everyone said serval, so i just went with that
It’s a savannah
Looks like a savannah cat to me. They’re known for they’re jumping abililty.
Nope. It’s a Margay.
one of the least known rainforest cats lol.
Uhm… very very wrong. Margays have elongates rosettes, not spots, and lack those enormous ears. That cat in the .gif is either pure serval or an early generation savannah cat, which as a vet tech is something I’ve had the great *dis*pleasure of getting to work with.
Looks like a Savannah cat!!! One of my favorite breeds
It’s an ocelot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot
No, ocelots have smaller ears and very distinct facial markings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
It is a Serval, the head is to small proportionately to be an ocelot, . They do look very similar to each-other but the head is what gives it away.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval
This is a serval, normally an african wild cat. They excel at jumping with those long slender legs of theirs to catch rodents in long grass. They’re also fairly common in the exotic pet trade because of their vivacious natures and intelligence.
IS THAT A ****ING CHEETAH?!?!?
I think that might be an ocelot. I could definitely be wrong, but that’s what it looks like: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocelot
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg It’s a serval. Note, specifically, the ear size of both the animal in this photo, and the one in the gif.
Looks like a Serval. Or a Savannah cat, which is a hybrid of the domesticated cat and a Serval.
You blinked. The Doctor told you not to blink.
It looks like it could be an African serval or a Savannah cat which is a cross between a serval and a domestic cat
I think that’s a serval…?
the kitteh is srry.
hahaha thats me using a different name up dere.
I think it may be a “Serengeti Cat”. (If anyone else has already posted this, it hasn’t appeared yet.)
Savannah cat. A crossbreed between a serval and domestic cat.
That’s a Serval, a medium sized wild cat from Africa that’s closely related to lions and cheetahs. The males grow to be around 50 lbs
Thought it was a Siberian Cat. (not the tiger)
Definitely and Ocelot
Nope. The head is too small, the ears are too big, and the coat pattern is entirely wrong. Ocelots have rosettes (think leopard) and servals have spots.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Savannah_Cat_portrait.jpg
It’s an Ocelot, Serval’s heads are much smaller in comparison to their bodies. And ocelots have longer, more leopard-like spots, as opposed to small cheeta-like spots of the serval.
Your logic is flawed– look at the ears and the tail, and nothing else matters. Ocelots have tails much longer than that, and their ears are more rounded, like a lion’s or a leopard’s ears. This cat has a short tail and ears shaped like bat ears.
It is a serval.
Seconded. The enormous ears are a dead give away to it being a Serval.
The markings are also quite different. Not being very knowledgeable of wild cats, I thought it was an ocelot at first, but then I looked up the different species on the poll list and concluded that it is a Serval.
It’s a Savannah cat, which is a cross between a serval and a housecat.
I would say it is an Ocecat. I had a friend that had one one, kinda reminds me of it.
The ears are far too large for it to be an ocelot, and it lacks the really distinctive facial markings and rosettes. The cat in the gif has simple spots, not rosettes.
eric clearly said “ocecat,” and not “ocelot.” while related, an ocecat is a hybrid and could have different features than an ocelot.
It’s still not going to have the enormous ears of a Serval.
Ocicats/Ocecats are also an entirely domestic breed, not a hybrid at all. It’s the product of siamese and Abyssinians, and was named for the markings which appear similar to an Ocelot.
Isn’t the difference between an ocelot and serval the look of their spots? Ocelots seem to have a light brown spot with a darker circle around, but this one just has dark spots, and he’s got the size and ears of a serval.
I find it interesting that each name offered in the question has been chosen as to what this is. Personally, I think it’s fuzzy.
Yeah, I’m 99% sure this is an Ocicat.
http://www.pet-spot.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/ocicat.jpg
the face and body shape are completely wrong for an ocicat. look at the loooong face and ears of the cat the beginning of the shot. its face doesn’t look anything like that of an ocicat or an ocelot.
Body type, head shape, ear size, and sheer SIZE are all wrong for an ocicat. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
I think servals have pointy black ears tufts.
Genets have less pattern.
I don’t think cheetahs move that fast vertically.
I’d guess ocelot, although soemthing tells me they are more short and slinky.
My animal geek days are far in the past.
Servals do not have ear tufts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
The ones with the ear tufts are the caracals, which don’t have spots and are more of a reddish brown color in general
Wowwww, people actually think this is an Ocelot? I am ashamed.
U haz noms? NOOOOMMSS!!!!!!!!
It’s either a Serval or an F1/F2 Savannah. Can’t be too sure given the lack of much detail, and how similar some first and sometimes second generation Savannahs look to Servals.
In any case, it is one of the two, as no other cats — wild or otherwise — share that body type, markings, and jumping ability.
Serval: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/WhiteServalPharaoh.jpg
Savannah (whose body took after the Serval): http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i130/Rapunzel61/EWNY/Animals/savannah-cat.jpg
I honestly don’t know why people are thinking this is an Ocelot. Ocelots look nothing like this cat.
Perfect reply with the correct information. Thankyou Zarc.
Thank you, I was hoping someone would post this so I wouldn’t have to. I’m fairly sure it’s a Savannah, personally, judging by what we can see of the face.
The face looks like a Savannah but you cant really tell which it is(Serval/Savannah) from this gif.
According to Ripleys Believe it or Not book 5:
“It looks like a wild animal but behaves like a domestic cat. Created by crossing two exotic breeds -A serval and a Leopard cat- with an ordinary cat, the Ashera is a new breed of domestic cat that resembles a mini-leopard but is playful and affectionate. It grows up to 30lb (14kg) in weight and costs a far-from-ordinary $22,000″
As Zarc said, its an F1 Savannah. Ashera and F1 Savannah cats are the same.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashera
It’s a savannah. And genets are not true cats, they’re only partially related to them. They are not in the felid family.
its an ocelot- too tall 2 be kitteh of house
Nope. Ears are too big to be an ocelot, it doesn’t have rosette markings, and it lacks the distinctive facial markings. Tis a Serval or early generation Savannah cat, which is a serval-domestic cat hybrid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
Serval
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval
I’m pretty sure that’s a Savannah. Ocelots have more defined spots. Then again, you can’t really tell from this, so it could be either one.
Is it a car?
Being that Savannah cats are house cats bred with Servals it could be a first generation Savannah and we wouldn’t know the difference.
I found this video on youtube a while back. Tis a serval. I’m surprised how many people think its an ocelot XD
It is a Serval. Look at the height of the draws the kitty is on and how high the cat goes up to on the wall. Also look at the structure of the kitty it is too big to be an Ocicat.
No, trust me, there are domestic breeds of cat that can be easily that tall, such as the savannah cross breed. If it was a serval, that camera-holder would be nommed.
How retarded are people? It isn’t and ocelot because it only has stripes on it’s neck, and servals are relatively common pets, not eating people. However, like many people have said, it could be a F1 or F2 savanah who took after the serval genes.
No, the camera person wouldn’t necessarily be nommed. AND… Savannah cats are part serval. I’ve dealt with several savannah cats at my job. If you aren’t a part of the immediate family, they DO try to maul you.
i think it might one of those domestic cheetah crossbreeds that cost 4000$
Are you thinking of the cheetoh? There’s been no crosses between cheetah and domestic cat at this point. Cheetohs are a cross between a bengal (hybrid) and an ocicat (a purely domestic cat bred to look like an ocelot, this cat is NOT a hybrid). And yes, they can cost between $4k and $7k. We had a client get a kitten from a breeder for $5k and the cheetoh kitten died at 4 months old from FIP. The breeder then sent them another kitten from the *same* litter… and we never heard from that client again. Apparently they were upset that we couldn’t magic away the 100% fatal disease that is feline infectious peritonitis.
It’s definitely a Serval. It’s too small to be an ocelot, and its ears are too large. As for some sort of domesticated cat, I could be wrong but I think it’s much too large to be a Bengal or a Savannah cat. I was using the door to judge how big I thought it was.
That’s not an ocelot.
The markings aren’t at all correct.
Beyond that, ocelots are nocturnal.
That might be negated by the domestic setting, but I highly doubt it is an ocelot regardless.
If I had to guess, I’d say it’s either a Savannah or a Serval.
He looks almost exactly like my bengal.
Your bengal weighed 30 pounds or more and was as tall as nearly half your door when sitting down? Somehow I seriously doubt that.
No, this is either a pure serval, or an early generation Savannah cat, which is a serval-domestic cat hybrid.
I would say that is a Lynx, but I’m not entirely sure.
It is most definitely not a lynx.
Lynx are compact, longer furred, and not tawny-orange with black spots. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lynx-canadensis.jpg This is a lynx. *Entirely* different looking animal.
and to add, have a very short tail.
I want one…
http://www.deerfernfarms.com/Cats_Background.htm
Savannah is simply a diluted version of the Serval. It is possible that it is an F1 Savannah. This would mean the 1 parent is a domestic cat, and the other parent is a purebred Serval. The difference is not very big.
Definitely not an ocelot, those who voted for that are clearly just picking what sounds the most familiar and do not know how to use google. The ear shape is so far off of an ocelot’s even if you weren’t sure on the markings it’s a dead giveaway.
My vote goes to Serval or a 75%+ Serval-blooded Savannah, at which point it may just as well be a Serval. It’s huge, much larger than Savannahs with 50% serval blood or less would be.
It also looks nothing like a Genet, that shouldn’t even be up there.
After my own ameteur research, followed by reading all these posts and a bit more research, I agree with the consensus that it’s a serval or possibly a savannah cat. I’m not familiar with the markings or relative overall sizes, but the ears are so big and closely spaced. It’s a dead giveaway in the ocelot v. serval determination.
As far as the other options go, it’s way too small to be a cheetah and is lacking the eye markings as well. It looks nothing like a genet from what I can see. Finally, some people have mentioned Bengal cats. The bengal cats I found seemed to have smaller ears and different markings (less clear cut spots and more stripes and ‘rosettes’ as they seem to be called).
I also agree with everyone above me who wants one of these cats ^_^
any of them. Savannah cat would probably be best though… less chance of it hunting the neighbor’s pets lol
In addition, Bengals are also the same size as ordinary housecats, whereas the cat in the gif is HUGE!
Ocelot of votes! Hahaha!
It’s fuzzy!
I find it funny so many dumbasses voted for the Ocelot.
It is obviously a Serval or a Serval and domestic cat cross.
it’s chuck norris’s cat
It’s a serval, the end.
You lose. It’s actually a Savannah Cat.
You lose more. Savannahs are a serval hybrid and the early generations, the F1s and F2s, take after the serval almost exclusively and thus can be nigh impossible to tell apart.
Oh god, people, that is not a freaking ocelot. It’s huge, has a long face, a short, tail, long legs, big ears, and no rosette-shaped spots. The proportions are all different as well.
It’s also not a lynx, a bobcat, a genet, a fishing cat, or even an Owston’s freaking palm civet, that is either a serval or something of serval descent. (personally I think it’s a pure serval, but that’s just based on the skull and leg proportions and the size of the eyes)
If anyone was talking about how servals have ear tufts, you’re probably confusing it with the caracal, who do have those, but no spots and they’re reddish.
“”OTL It’s like dramatic chipmunk and lemur all over again…
It’s an ashera cat not doubt about it, have one myself. Awsome beasts of a cat they are
Is it wrong of me to want A DOZEN OF THESE KITTEHS? Yeah, probably, but I’ll bet I won’t have anymore burglars. Or mice.
i have an Egyptian mau and it looks just like it but with a brown coat so maby a serval and mau mix?
It’s a serval, the original clip is on youtube:
Watch it, it looks a lot more awsome than the gif.
first happycat, then tallcat, now introducing FASTCAT!
I think its a Hannah, or whatever they call those domestic/African Small Wild cat crossbreed.
It is a spring-born cat, a cat with born with springs for legs
IT’S AN OCICAT!!!!!! Yes, it’s real.
Too big for an ocicat, I believe it’s a cheetoh.
Nope, it’s a serval or Savannah cat, which is a serval-hybrid. Cheetohs are actually Bengals (hybrid the same size as a domestic cat) mixed with another purebred domestic cat type.
i think it looks like a less than F4 gen. Bengal.
I’ve seen early gen Bengals, they aren’t that big. Plus, the cat is a dead ringer with body size, coat pattern, tail length, body proportion… and most importantly the enormous ears… for being a Serval or an F1/F2 Savannah cat.
i don’t really know/care what this is. it’s freakin’ awesome and i want one.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terry_mercer/4055179592/
it’s a sevral
This is a Serval. FACT!
ocelot’s spots are ring-shaped
It’s definately a serval, just a domesticated one.
It, doesn’t matter what kind of animal it is, I’m pretty sure it’s illegal to own one…
Nope. Special permits will allow you to own a true Serval, and one can own a Savannah cat of sufficient dilution without any permits at all.
Its a Serval.
Its also possible its a high % F1, like a crossing of an F1 or F2 back to a Serval.
its a big kitty
It’s a Cheetoh. Part Ocicat and part Bengal. That website that has the “hypoallergenic cats” and calls them savannah cats… Yeah, they’re full of BS and are calling it that to rip you off.
http://www.cheetohcatbreeders.com/CheetohInfo1.htm
Wrong. Cheetohs a- aren’t that big, being predominantly domestic cat, b- don’t have freakin’ enormous ears, c- don’t have that face shape.
That is a Serval or Savannah cat, which is a serval/domestic cat hybrid. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
Dude…. 21% think this is a cheetah, and 30% think it is an ocelot. IT’S A SERVAL PEOPLE! Do a damn google search!
But but but… that would require using their *brains* and this is the internets!
/sarcastic despair
*cries* It’s like no one has ever seen a freaking Ocelot TT^TT
Over 9000………votes
that would be a Savannah. known as an early generation wildcat-domestic hybrid, its main feature are large size, extraordinary leaping ability and a surprising affinity to water. these guys are banned in several US states, including hawaii. highly energetic and surprisingly affectionate.
I think you are all wrong. Its a “not-so-itteh-bitteh-OMG-its-gonna-kill-meh” kitteh.
The person recording it was eaten shortly after he turned the video off :3
It Is a Bengal
Bengals are about half the size of that cat, usually have rosettes, have domestic-cat type faces and normal sized ears. That cat is either a Serval or a Savannah Cat, which is a serval hybrid.
Ocicats are a mix of two entirely domestic breeds, namely the Abyssinian and the Siamese, both of which are fairly small. Ocicats are also small. That is a Serval or early generation Savannah cat which is a Serval-Domestic Cat hybrid.
my vote is on either ocelot, ocicat, or savannah cat… the ears are too short for a serval and bengals are smaller… and cheetahs are too big to fit into that small space on top of the dresser.
but either way its cute and i want it
The ears are too huge for an ocelot and the coat pattern is wrong. Ocicats are a mix of abyssinian and siamese, so entirely domestic cat and fairly small. Savannah cats are a mix between a domestic cat and a Serval. The cat in the .gif is either a serval or an early generation Savannah (serval-domestic cat hybrid) because the face does not show any influence from domestic cats. The ears are certainly big enough to be pure Serval.
To all the IDIOTS out there, its a SERVAL.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serval
To you, idiot, it’s a Savannah Cat, which is a cross between a serval and a domestic housecat.
To you, idiot too, because that animal in the .gif is either a purebred Serval, or an F1/F2 Savannah as once you start diluting the genetics with domestic cats, the face begins to drastically change from wildcat, like in the .gif, to a more domestic look. I’m a vet tech in a moderately affluent area and thus have seen and worked with quite a few bengals, cheetohs, and savannahs.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg – wildcat face
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/Savannah_Cat_portrait.jpg -still has the big ears and some of the body, but decided difference in the face.
It’s an Ocicat, closely related to the Ocelot, and is banned in some states, very large
Wrong. Ocicats are NOT banned in some states. The ocicat was developed by breeding Abyssinians to Siamese to create a cat with a similar look to the ocelot. They are not hybrids and thus not at all related to the ocelot. Ocelots also have rosettes, not spots, and large heads with small, round ears. The cat above has a relatively small head with enormous ears. It is either a Serval http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg or an F1/F2 Savannah cat which IS a hybrid, specifically between a domestic cat and a serval.
It’s a savannah cat. Cross between a serval and domestic cat.
Definitely a Serval. I even looked it up!
So not an Ocelot.
Either a savannah or a several. Who the heck voted OCELOT?!?!?!?
bengal
Bengals are the same size as domestic cats, and lack the enormous ears of this creature. Those ears, in fact, readily give away its serval heritage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg It’s either pure, or an early generation Savannah cat, which is a serval-domestic cat hybrid.
As a vet tech, I’ve seen quite a few bengals, and that cat in the .gif is definitely NOT a bengal.
Holy bawlz. That’s a big cat. At first I thought it was a statue or something…
ocecat
Ocecats are the size of a normal domestic cat, precisely because that’s what they are. They also lack the enormous ears seen on this cat, which are the major clue-in to it being a Serval. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Serval_looking_back.jpg
As a vet tech, I’ve worked with ocecats, bengals, and savannahs. There is no way that cat is anything other than a serval or early generation savannah, which is a serval-domestic cat mix.
It’s a serval – it’s too big to be a Savannah. Why it’s not illegal for people in certain states to keep big cats as pets, I will never know.
A serval’s a small cat, though. Much bigger than a domestic cat, but still one of the small cats, not the big cats.
Ocecat.
its an African Serval. Our local zoo has 2-3 that were former pets…. sweet kitties, but territorial, so got donated after they bit their owners houseguests
It’s a Serval. I used to work with some in one of my school classes. Too big to be a Savannah cat, wrong shape and patterns to be an Ocelot.
This is definitely a Serval, there is no arguing it. Not based off the ears or its size, but based off of its specific markings. If you will look while it is sitting at the first of the video you will notice that it has two large spots on its fore-legs right where the “elbows” are. The picture below of a Serval can be used as a reference.
http://www.brandywinezoo.org/images/serval_cat.jpg
The next clue-in comes after it has landed and the head raises above the camera. Notice the black, necklace-like marking across the neck? This is another traditional marking of a Serval.
Your reference:
http://www.recordsburpee.com/images/serval_cat.JPG
It’s an ocicat… they’re domestic cats bred with the Cerval cat from Africa. Cost a ton of money, and are DEFINITELY still half-wild.
O_o Savannah cats are the serval hybrid. Ocicats were derived from two entirely domestic breeds of cat.
