TOP 10 MOST DANGEROUS CAT BREEDS .
10. Servals
Servals have the longest legs and largest
ears of any cat breed . It is not easy keeping
a Serval as a pet. It needs a particular type
of environment, has special dietary needs and
it hunts as night (best hunters of the cat
world) which means kissing your sleep
goodbye. Teeth and claws will be out during
playtime making them a bad choice for
households with young children. They are
also rough and knock things over when
playing.
9. Geoffroy’s Cats
This small South American feline weighs
between 4 and 13 pounds. They are fast and
energetic and although they can be trained
caution is needed. They don’t bond with
more than one or two humans and they can
be combative and aggressive. This means
that everyone else is perceived as a threat
and is at risk of an attack. The fact that they
are nervous increases the risk of
aggressiveness as they will easily feel
threatened.
8. Ocelot
The Ocelot requires specialized care, as all
exotic cats do, as they are extremely high
maintenance and pose a definite risk to its
owner. Ocelots mark their territory with urine
and feces which has a very strong smell.
They need a lot of space and need to be kept
in an enclosed area. They like climbing trees
as well as swimming. Their jaws are very
strong, as strong as a pitbull’s, and they are
generally destructive and will chew on almost
anything. They disembowel prey with their
back legs and will do this to humans if not
trained and reared properly from an early age.
They target soft areas of the body when
attaching such as the armpits and neck and
strike repeatedly making them dangerous.
7. Canadian Lynx
These fluffy felines are a subspecies of the
Eurasian Lynx and similar in looks to a
Bobcat. They are fairly large and can weigh
up to 30kg.
It has a stubby tail and tufted ears and have
a slanted walk thanks to their long hind-legs
and short front legs. Its coat becomes longer
and greyer in winter compared to in summer
when it is shorter and can be reddish brown
or grey.
6. Chausie Cats
This cat originates from South Central Asia
and weighs about the same as a medium
dog, making it a heavyweight among
domestic cats.
It’s also a hybrid like the Savannah and
Bengal having been cross-bred with
Abyssinians. Athletic, long-eared and with a
short tail that seems disproportionate to its
long body this feline can jump over 6 ft in the
air. This cat is highly social so don’t leave it
alone for extended periods of time. Young
children best kept away from this feline. They
are quite domesticated hence their F4/F5
status.
5. Caracals
These hard-to-read cats communicate a
range of emotion through ear movements and
hissing sounds, which many people find hard
to decipher.
They are fairly sociable but wildly energetic
and can be destructive to have around. Full-
grown Caracals weigh between 30-50 lbs and
are around 16-17 inches big.
4. Savannahs
This loyal feline is the largest hybrid cat. It is
a cross between a Serval and domestic cat
and are therefore smaller than Servals in size.
They are perceived as a doglike cat and are
quite large weighing up to 25 lbs. Keeping
one of these cats as a pet is against the law
in many countries.
3. Bengals
This hybrid cat has been bred through many
generations by cross-breeding domesticated
cats with Asian Leopard Cats. They are sold
as F4’s but are still wild cats at heart. They
are beautiful, quirky and highly intelligent and
are described as “doglike”.
Destructive when bored and known for
aggression, one might want to think twice
before investing in a Bengal cat. They have
varied appearances and come in several
colors and coat patterns and have varying
weight and eye colors. They mark their
territory by spraying.
2. Pixiebobs
The smaller and safer version of the Bobcat
and as playful as a pixie, Pixiebobs are
active, adventurous felines. They have a
peculiar mutation known as polydactylism
meaning that they may have extra toes. They
may be short- or long-coated and ranger in
size from medium to large. They are sociable
cats although less so with strangers.
1. Bobcats
This exotic bearded feline with its tufted ears
and spotted back and belly bonds strongly
with humans but as tame as they may
sometimes appear, they have an aggressive
side and could kill an adult human.
They are known to be unpredictable and
moody. They come in beautiful hues ranging
from golden to smoky blue but don’t let their
beauty fool you. These feisty felines will
shred your furniture and harass your visitors
and are best kept far away from children.
