[@HK--nf1sc]

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.

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.

​@@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.

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??

[@michah7214]

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

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.

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.

[@veronicamonti8054]

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...

[@coltondodger]

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

[@mindfulmadeline]

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.

7 reasons to get a caracal cat: 1. Big floppy 2. Big floppa 3. Big floppa 4. Big floppa 5. Big floppa 6. Big floppa 7. Big floppa

[@ZoneTwelveOnline]

Another reason is this thing called 'common sense" that seems to not be so common these days.

[@anothertarnishedone5960]

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.

[@6Jillybeans]

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!

[@iconofsin5886]

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.

[@Bobaman5400]

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.

[@bradmoore9756]

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

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.

[@jeprodigalson792]

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.

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 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...

[@sean_connors]

Owning a Caracal is cruel. These cats are meant to roam free, never caged in a house.

[@coldh8terade737]

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.

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.

[@camillelafont76]

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.

[@chickenleg2536]

Imagine using them as bodyguards.

[@benjammin3381]

Would be a pretty terrible body guard as they prefer to run away than pick a fight with someone 5x their size.

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)

[@flowergirl3438]

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. ❤️
