I never heard of a "Jungle cat" before.

I keep finding new ones on here. I think there are many more kinds than people think.

He looks a lot like domestic cats, don't you think?

He's quite massive and is taller, but not more than half bigger that normal domestic cat I think

Depends on how big domestic cat is For example, my Eedi is at least twice size of my Senja. Yet he's about the size of a smallest Jungle cat female we have and biggest male is about half bigger For me - they are the right size XD

Mhm... my Kadaj is quite big for an European cat. You are right, it's not common... let's say that for me bigger than a domestic cat is 'longer than 70-80 cm' and 'heavier than 10 kg'.

I never measured Eedi XD And I can't understand size or weight by just looking at it. But I'll say that Jungle cat is obviously bigger than normal catsΒ

Okay, got it! Because it looked so cuddlesome that I'd brush it.

I'm afraid it would end with your death, since they have terrible personalities.

My uncle had once and idea to breed Jungle cats as domestic ones. So he got a female and his brother got a male and brought them to Estonia. I was little when met that Norka. I saw her about 3 times, all the rest she was hiding somewhere and could attack everyone. Later she moved to live to the balcony and lived there in a cage making terrible sounds and trying to destroy everything. I don't know how the Norka story ended, but she was afwul and not cuddlesome at all. I guess they can't be domesticated that easily.

Oooow. Such a pity, I scratch ears so well!
Yup wild cats are relly aggressive.
