Woman woke up to huge African cat on her bed

On June 30, around 6:45 a.m., Kristine frank, who lives in Brookhaven, USA, woke up when a serval African appeared on his bed. Her husband David got up early and let his dog Sandy out, leaving the door open so he could come inside whenever he wanted.

The serval is introduced as a pet, even when it is a species that has all the characteristics of a wild species, not only because of its size, but also because of its ferocity. There are those who use them to create “hybrid cats” by crossing them with domestic cats.

“I felt something jump on my bed, I opened my eyes and it was a big cat in my bedKristine said. And he added that he didn’t realize how tall he was then, until he left the room. “It was scary. When I look, he was as big as my bed, from what I could see with his head and ears. It was then that I knew it was not a normal domestic cat. I was paralyzed and I challenged my husband ”.

When the cat came out of the bedroom onto the patio and down the stairs to the backyard, she told her husband, who then took pictures of her. After standing in the yard for a minute or two, the serval ran into the forest, but returned about 20 minutes later.

“The dog trotted back, and behind him came the cat“said Kristine, who thought the serval might be a lynx.

After posting photos online on a social network app of his neighborhood, alerted other neighborhood residents.

Authorities in Georgia they are looking for a serval. Research is concentrated in the area of Brookhaven near the Buckhead community of Atlanta.

It’s not the first time he’s escaped

Although the owner of the serval has yet to be identified, Kristine said another nearby resident recently posted on the neighborhood social network about another time the animal escaped. . On this occasion, he was cornered in the garage of a neighbor.

In Atlanta, there are no federal laws prohibiting owning large exotic animals, including such felines, but a law in Georgia prohibits people from keeping them unless they have a special permit. Ditto for hybrid cats, which are exotic felines raised with servants.

Kristine and Prygoski they said exotic cats shouldn’t be pets. “Not every species of wild cat is meant to live in a house,” Prygoski said. “We need stronger local, state and federal laws regulate the possession of feral cats and prohibit the possession of feral cats as pets”.

Kristine added, “I really don’t know what kind of cat it is, but anyway it is definitely not a pet that I would expect anyone in. a neighborhood has and is free. I don’t want something bad to happen to the catHe belongs to a sanctuary, not to a house ”.
