Even the ordinary domestic cat often "walks in itself" and what to speak about wild cane breed. Experts claim that the cane cat practically does not give in to domestication. For this reason for many fans of exotic who took on education even a little small animal it is necessary to refuse such neighbourhood sooner or later.
Features of breed: whether any cane cat wild
All aforesaid concerns the cats taken home from the wild nature. More than 3 thousand years ago Ancient Egyptians told of two species of wild cane cats: Felis lybica and Felis chaus. The second version to them seemed to more peaceful because chaus even approached the human dwelling, and gave in to domestication later.
Many centuries later efforts of selectors the domestic cane cat by crossing of a wild cane cat of a chausa with Abyssinian breed was brought. External data: the grace, the sizes, high brawny legs, a color – at all do not concede to wild fellows, but temper more appeasable.

Necessary conditions of keeping
However, the call of ancestors is very heavy even at a domestic cane cat therefore it is necessary to provide it enough place for dwelling. It is better to support him closer to a natural environment, in the private house. This cat breed very much loves water because in the wild nature they hunt for fish independently. Powerful paws are supplied even with small membranes. The playful cat or a cat weighing from 10 to 15 kg can give a lot of inconvenience to owners the quick temper. In the nature the cane cats like to settle down highly on branches of trees. So they feel safe and have an opportunity to watch haughtily all events in the house. It will be not really pleasant if such "cat", playing, jumps off on someone from members of household from a high case. Or in a garden it is easier to find the similar place in the yard. In food of a chausa are unpretentious: all eat, as ordinary cats. However, experts recommend to give to an animal the chance to fish from time to time. For this purpose there would be by the way an open reservoir. If to arrange bathing in a standard bathtub, then in advance it is necessary to take care of removal of all tubes, jars, bottles from there. Otherwise disorder is inevitable. In spite of the fact that the cane cat does not like to sit on hands (it and is good), the caress to him is vital. Especially during accustoming to the place and owners it is necessary to pay to an animal more attention. Otherwise the cat can become sad so that he will leave life. In good conditions the cane breed is capable to live at home to 12 years, however, weight in home apartments stays sometimes much less (6-10 kg).
