F5 is the fith generation away from the actual Asian Leopard Cat.

F1 would be first a generation mating between an Asian Leopard Cat and a domestic, usually a siamese or a abbysinnian cat. F2 are most likely two hybrids, and the more you outcross the more domestic they get. I believe the have to be F4's to compete for TICA status. But don't quote me on that.


One thing that REALLY bugged me is that the one lady there who had servals was walking hers outside and quoted that "they are just like cats, only bigger"! This really upset me. They are NOT just like cats. They have VERY specific dietary requirements. They can and will hurt you. They are wild animals.


People hearing this would buy one and think they could feed it Friskies all it's life until he developed problems from not having enough protein in the diet etc. That really made me angry!
