Text: Dariga Masenova AUGUST 8 THROUGHOUT THE WORLD IS THE INTERNATIONAL CATS DAY. SOME MUCH LOVE THESE MYSTERIOUS BEINGS SO READY TO PAY OUT HUGE MONEY FOR THEM. WE OFFER TO FIND OUT WHICH OF THE CATS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AND RARE. 1. Savannah from $ 3,000 to $ 20,000
Savannah looks like a little leopard and, to match its kinsman, can jump above 3.5 meters! Bred in 1986 in the USA by crossing a wild African Serval cat with a domestic cat, and a small selection floor makes it the most expensive in the world. The savannah's wildness is measured by the daughter system, that is, the formula for measuring the percentage of wild genes in each cat. For example, if the Serval cat F1 gene is taken as the basis, then the savannah crossed with the domestic cat already receives the formula F2: it contains 50% of wild genes. By inheritance from the serval, she got a gorgeous color, long legs and black tear spots in the corners of her eyes. Their purpose is to reflect the light when she hunts. An important feature of the savannah is that it can hiss, imitating snakes - these are echoes of the wild past. The savannah is very smart, active, does not require special care and loves water. However, it is very rarely sick.
