I can't be sure whether or not this article should even be in cryptozoology. What do you think? :D

Savannah cats Savannah cats (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ygreen/sc_ygreen/storytext/sixamazinghybridanimals/35960188/SIG=11hjpiphk/*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah_%28cat%29) are the name given to the offspring of a domestic cat and a serval — a medium-sized, large-eared wild African cat. The unusual cross became popular among breeders (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ygreen/sc_ygreen/storytext/sixamazinghybridanimals/35960188/SIG=11bbshbeq/*http://www.hdw-inc.com/savannahwhatis.htm) at the end of the 20th century, and in 2001 the International Cat Association accepted it as a new registered breed.
Interestingly, savannahs are much more social than typical domestic cats, and they are often compared to dogs in their loyalty. They can be trained to walk on a leash and even taught to play fetch.

Beefalo Beefalo (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ygreen/sc_ygreen/storytext/sixamazinghybridanimals/35960188/SIG=116vd4lah/*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beefalo) are the fertile offspring of domestic cattle and American bison. Crosses also exist between domestic cattle and European bison (zubrons) and yaks (yakows). The name given to beefalo might be the most suggestive, since the breed was purposely created to combine the best characteristics of both animals with an eye towards beef production.
A USDA study showed that beefalo meat, like bison meat, tends to be lower in fat and cholesterol (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/dailynews/ygreen/sc_ygreen/storytext/sixamazinghybridanimals/35960188/SIG=11r4fubna/*http://www.texasbeefaloassociation.com/nutritionhtml.html). They are also thought to produce less damage to range-land than cattle.

"They are also thought to produce less damage to range-land than cattle." Question! Why?

Cool looking cat.

I wonder if I can use it for my new avatar? What do you think Lex? I don't want to change it if you like the one I have better. ;)

[Trauma Teased]

Hazel, cool stuff! But your "ligers, tigons" link don't work for me...
:(

Ooooh, they are all so cute! I think I like the liger.

[Lexion]

That would definitely be a cool avvy.

He's a red spotted oriental shorthair--just showing you a breed pic until I can upload his photo. He is 100% pure awesome...and his name is Batman.

I just love his expression....it says it all. But then again, I speak "cat".

Cat is a difficult language to learn. I have not yet become fluent in it as my hands can attest.

I think my cat looks like Prince John from the Robin Hood cartoon (the one with the fox).

Cats speak with body language. When they are vocal, it means one of two things. Odds are 50/50 that they approve of you or you are pissing them off.

Their body position, head position, tail movement, eye expressions all mean something. Plus you must know the personality of the individual cat. They are all unique in some extraordinary way.

Ritchie, was a yellow tiger, farm cat. He was huge. The thing that distinguished him from all the others is the fact that when you cuddled or pet him, he drooled rivers. ;)

The Siamese breeds are part cat, part dog, part monk. When they are young, as is Batman, they are also part monkey.

I am literally pin-holed from all of his attempts to use me as a tree.

QFT!

LOL

I guess you've figured out that I adore cats.

[MissA]

Yes. :)

I am in love with this cat even though he has me terrorized. It's like jaws. I can be walking through the house and out of nowhere he strikes then is off again.

BEEFALO!!!!??? Good thing the cattle don't speak English. Why not just name their breed "Dinner".

[egg]

Yes. :)

Cats are guerilla fighters. You won't know where the attack is coming from but it is coming. Watch your ankles.

I feel more than sorry for this guy. Just look at that face. He's definitely saying, "Had to mess with nature. Go fuck yourself."

Good luck with that, they're about as easy to figure out as women.

Who the fuck creates these animals? Must have a death wish or something.
