Missy is an African Caracal.

she loves to play with her toys.

Missy comes from the wilds of Africa. She needed a place to stay for a few weeks so we said yes. Missy ended up staying with us for several months until a home was found or her. She was a delight to have aound. The caracal is one of the fastest cats, with hunting skills unmatched. They can take down more than one bird in flight at one time. Missy had a ball with her stuffed duck and other toys, and more than once proved her lighting fast reflexes.
Missy occupied the large room upstairs at night, and the whole house during the day. After a while she was moved out to the new cage that was under construction, she started to do what caracals like to do, using soft things like pillows and blankets for their litter box.

Those ducks don't stand a chance against these lighting fast reflexes.

Making a new friend and giving Thao some caracal kisses.

Missy finally found a new home after sharing ours for many months. My husband did not want to part with her, he became very attached to her and was sad to see her go. Missy has been bought by a breeder and sadly she is now expected to continue her life having babies to be sold off so this breeder can make a living off her and others like her.
 
She gets attention but not like she used to and now when she has babies they are taken from her and bottle feed so they can be sold off as pets. Poor Missy will never know what it is like to raise a baby and bond with them. She has become nothing more than a dollar sign for a breeder.
 
Missy was moved to the new cage to make room for Phoebe who just arrived. After Missy went to her new home, the cage was then occupied again, Phoebe then had this cage for her home, but has since been moved to a bigger cage and this is now the addition for the bobcats to run the overhead walkway to. It is part of their cage now and they have both side to run and play in now.
 
Missy was a people cat and dearly loved people, even if she just met you she had a big caracal kiss for you.  Now Missy is nothing more than another money maker for this breeder dealer. This is such a shame to have her reduced to nothing more than a baby factory and now starving for human contact. Expected to produce one litter after another with no time in-between to regain her own health back.
 
We would have been happy to keep her and care for her but we were in no position to pay the couple of thousand of dollars that was being asked for her at that time. Now after knowing what she is expected to do I am sorry we could not keep her with us.
