Viverra cat in nature is represented by two varieties. There is no big difference in their behavior and appearance. The fact is that animals from Southeast Asia are a bit large. The wyverras that live on the islands of Bali and Java are fishing in the wild for small animals and fish in wetlands and on river banks.
Of course, a wyverder cat can live at home, but it is necessary to approach taming with all responsibility, as well as an understanding of possible difficulties. In addition, almost all over the world this is considered illegal. If you want to get this pet for yourself, you need to get the appropriate permissions and get familiar breeders who know how to properly raise and maintain these animals, otherwise the consequences can become irreversible.
Viverra cat: dimensions and general view
It is large in size, the male weighs more than 15 kg, while the females are slightly less - up to 10 kg. These animals have a long body, while heavy and squat, as they lead the life of a hunter. The cat has a massive appearance, a little angular, thanks to which it immediately becomes clear that you see a beast that is not able to compromise. Viverra cat radiates confidence and strength, it is not worth teasing, because he will not remain in debt. His head is wide and large, the muzzle is somewhat elongated, heavy and dull. The forehead is convex, while on the head there are longitudinal stripes, turning into stripes of small spots on the back.
These cats have small, mobile and round ears, pressed to the head. This is easy to explain - when diving, water should not get into the ears. They are black in color, on the outside there are 2 white symmetrical spots. The body is long, muscular, with a little awkward. The animal moves like a clubfoot: slightly bending to the ground and waddling. Such magnificent predators have an interesting tail - not long, while moving and thick, not tapering to the tip, the tip is the same thickness with the base. Wiverr balancing them perfectly. Be sure the tail should be striped, and the tip should be black. The color of the cat is striped-spotted-mottled, which helps anglers to camouflage themselves in nature.
Viverra cat: content and character
When you look at this kitty goosebumps run through your body ... A wild beast, though domesticated, will not be so sweet and affectionate as a cat of any breed familiar to us. So, if the savannah is a cross between a wild cat and a domestic cat , then the wyverr is a completely wild predator. It will be difficult for him to live in an apartment, because he needs space, his own pond and hunting territory, so think a hundred times whether a wyverby cat-fisherman can live comfortably with you. The price, by the way, is very high.
They feed on crustacean fish and poultry. By 2-3 years they reach puberty. If you decide to start it all the same, be prepared that at some point you will have to part with it. Viverr during puberty begins to perceive his mistress as a female, while her husband and other representatives of the strong half as rivals (in our country there is sad experience in keeping this cat, when I had to give it to the zoo over time).
