Pet Tip
Pet Servals – Pet tip 208
There are millions and millions of cat lovers across North America and this is because cats make great pets. In general they are easier to take care of than dogs and much more independent than dogs. They are normally affectionate, cuddly, cute, they don’t eat that much and they don’t put too many demands on their owners. In terms of pleasing our human senses, house cats come in different breeds with different shapes, colours, fur lengths and personalities. But what if you want something a little different, more unique? What if you want a different type of cat, maybe a much larger cat? If you have a flair for the exotic you might consider getting a serval.
Servals are slowly becoming more popular as pets. Servals look like cheetahs but they are much smaller. They typically weigh anywhere from 20-40 pounds depending on their sex (males are heavier) and ancestry. Their body length is anywhere from 2-3 feet and they are about 2 feet tall. The come from Africa and still roam wild in many rural places. They are also slowly starting to become more known as house-pets but they are still quite rare and not for everyone.

What's up! My name's Nugget and my mum adopted me from Toronto Cat Rescue. She was fostering me at first but I made her fall in love with me. Someone wanted to adopt me but my mum couldn't stand to let me go so we made it official. We've been together for about a year and a half and she still needs to hug and kiss me all the time, but I put up with her.
I'm not allowed outside but I do enjoy hunting ants and dismembering fur mouse toys. My favourite toy was a plastic cockroach, but I chased it under the stove one day so that's where it lives now.
My favourite place to hang out is the tub. Sometimes I drink out of the toilet but that makes my dad unhappy. I don't think my mum has ever said the word 'no' to me.
My mum thinks that some boys must have been mean to me before I was rescued, because I don't like men. When my dad first moved in with us I refused to come out from under the bed for a week! But I couldn't get rid of him, so I learned to put up with him even though he's really jealous of me. My mum tried to explain to him that unless he grows a luxurious fur coat like mine, he's not going to get as much snuggles. Anyway, I discovered he gives expert tummy rubs so we're best friends now.
I eat special food after my mum freaked out when I had to stay at the vet's one night because of my bladder. That's okay - I love my crunchies! I don't really care for treats except tuna juice - I won't eat the meat, but I sure love the juice from the can, which I drink like a soup. Yum!
