Hey:

Well Steve, I was not a pet person let alone a cat person. I had a dog but she passed on and I never replaced her, had her 18 yrs A Black Chow. The kittens I got 8 of them all at once during the tornados we had go thru here, as the mother was killed day after they were born. My neighbor raises Bobcats, Lynx, Main Coon, Bengal and Mokave hybrid cats. Every now and then he gets some that cross breed. He has permission to turn them out into the feral cat population after getting them fixed and shots. He also had a few runaways, this litters mother cat, was one of them and was living in a little cave on my land. She was a 14 kilo cat (31 LBS) big paws, and could leap and catch birds while they were inflight about 12' off of the ground, and was pretty healthy. She was killed by a fallen tree. I raised them and kept the first 4 and gave away the rest to good homes for free. They range in price from $500-5000 with papers, since these had none, and were free to me, I figured I would pass them along to deployed Military familys that wanted and could take good care of them. 2 were over 5 kilos at 4 months old already. They are very smart, athletic pets, and cannot believe how great of pets they have become, bar the occasional giant leap onto the keyboard.

Sorry for catting up your thread Shadow.

NO PROBLEM
I'd take one for sure if I could but importing it would be a nightmare !
Imagine the burglar faces with a 22Kg cat - eeeeeeeeeeekkkk pee his pants for sure.
We have wild cats called caracals here -
Caracal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
we also get these Servals - almost identical to what you have.....
Serval - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BTW A bit more on the helmet. I gave it a 160 K run today with a few friends.
Highest speed reached was 255 KPH which is about 160 MPH, but I did some extended runs at over 200 KPH. The noise is acceptable and there is little to no head shake at the highest speed, even though there was quite a crosswind today. I was wearing a silk beanie to keep the lining clean, and that helps with the overall noise. There is no difference between the noise at 180 and 255 KPH that I could hear. The ventilation is good at any speed, even though the louvres seem a bit flimsy. I don't see it as a problem.
I'm a happy bunny.
Just for info

Hey:

Cool Shadow, sorry but I got them all fixed this weekend so no more from this litter even if you could import them. but I am sure there are more around just have to catch them. So if you find away let me know. Also I think you still should get the Power Ranger Masei helmet.

hehehe None in my size, fortunately. And the Power Ranger one is a Masie, not a Masei.
I have grandchildren...................
Maybe I can find a Ben Ten shirt for you, though hehe

Hey:

Those are both pretty nice cats.
Well my nieghbour, that has the cattery and breeds them has 2 (Zeus and Sinbad), 350 kg Striped Ligers and a Puma (Xaviar) ( that roam around in his house, they can wake up the Cul De Sac when they growl/roar in the morning sometimes( Not the Puma it is pretty quiet and never makes any noise). He has a sign up "Burgulars and trespassers may be eaten". He spends a fortune in Chickens and piglets keeping them feed about 8 times a day 3-6 meals each for the big cats. They spend most of the time in his pool and laying on the deck with his wife. No worries on her cheating as the dude would get mauled probably.

On the main note, That Gold helmet is the Bomb....LOL
