Yes, he is only 2 months old. Already size of normal housecat.
Killer? Not really. In the wild they are bird killers and other assorted small savanah dwelling animals, so anything larger than a normal housecat is safe. Not to say full grown he couldnt freak out and kill a fully grown human. Sure, if he gets the neck like a gazelle, you are fucked. And dont think I dont think about it. But I have never heard or read of anyone being killed by a serval, and they are more common than you would think. Expensive but readily available in this country.
and they are really smart, I mean really smart. Its not a domesticated cat so it hasnt had it senses dulled by human domestication over the centuries. Its a cat, but its like a cat X 10. I often find him unnerving. They are leaping cats so they can do 8 feet vertical no problem. They really bond with specific people and view you as pride, not people. And since we bottle fed him as a baby, we are pride. Its nutty shit. God I feel like a cat fag.
