1. They look like vicious lynxes.
Are they vicious lynxes?

4. They are wild cats...one of the furriest there is, but they aren't big.
Pallas' cats weigh between 4.5 - 10 lb

2. I think I'd be scared of those cats
look at the difference in the same cat from the middle pic to the bottom one.

Yikes. (sorry, I'll change your litter now, lol )

Guess they could have been being agitated for effect.

I'd give 'em a home, but I'd definitely want to stay on their good side.

:D

3. not familiar with them
Is it a domesticated breed? Other than their unusual looks, is there anything else special about them?

5. No they are wild cats.
But they are still cool! And cute and cuddly looking. They primarily eat picas.

6. They're wild cats!
Lady, you must be nuts! I just looked them up -- they're wild cats. I guess they would be great at rodent control but I think I'd prefer a simple domesticated cat from an animal shelter. :)

8. I'm a guy....but yes they are wild. I think they are neat though.
I am very much against owning wild animals (except in rescue situations), but I can dream about owning neat kitties besides my current menagerie.

9. Have you considered
a Maine Coon Cat? They're big (up to small dog size), furry, cuddly and all the ones I've ever met are as placid as anything. When I finally convince the spousal unit to let me keep a cat... they're what I want.

I can see why you'd like these ones. They're lovely... with sharp, nasty claws and sharp, nasty teeth.

11. I like Maine Coon Cats and would like to have one, but...
...as you can see from sig pic, I am maxed out on cats now anyway.

I am still partial to applehead siamese (the traditional kind).

13. And what a beautiful
clutter of kitties you have. An uncle of mine had seven and one night when I was housesitting I was late at feeding time (I was watching a movie) and the entire cat population in the house marched into the living room with their tails straight in the air, sat down in a perfectly straight line in front of the tv and stared me down. Do yours do the same thing?
