:i want to know what type of exotic cats you could have in your house and are they tame.Thanks in advance
If you really want to try to keep a wild exotic in the house I would have to say that an Asian Jungle Cat would be best since they use a litter box ( most of the time )A.J.cats tend to be pretty reliable with a litter box and they cover they're feces also as far as wild cat's go they tend to be more people oriented if well socialized when young. If you have young kids I would not recomend any wild cat. You should also have an outdoor enclosure this not only gives you somewhere you can keep the cat on nice days Its a good plan B just in case you decide haveing a wild animal in the house is to much, You can still enjoy them outside. My cats are tame but definitely not domesticated, do I trust them around children not really, they've showed some aggression towards a few people.
I keep my cats outside but I spend time with them everyday.
You could always get a Savannah,Chausie or bengal these cats arent as big as the wild ones but they look similar and you get all the benefits of a domestic including trust if well socialized.
