Caracal kitten is not accessible to everyone today. At home, they have been trying to breed these wild cats for a long time, however, to this day the breed can not be called common.
It is believed that a caracal kitten is tamed with ease and poses no danger to domestic (including human) animals. With a tamed steppe trot (another name for this animal) you can hunt small game - peacocks, pheasants, hares and even antelopes.

Firstly, most caracals (there are several species, but they are all alike) are active in the evening and at night, and this is often inconvenient for humans. Secondly, the animal eats the meat of game caught by it. And the jars of "Wiskas", as you know, will not be enough for him. It is very difficult to provide proper nutrition to a wild cat at home.

It turns out that keeping several caracal individuals for captive breeding is not only expensive, but also troublesome. Moreover, diseases of steppe cats (as well as their nature) have been studied very poorly so far. And this means that no one will give you guarantees of your absolute safety during your stay with a wild (even tamed) cat ...
