A family has shocked people by going ahead to adopt a deadly serval wild cat as pet, and even allowing the animal sleep on their beds.
Sienna (pictured), four, and Brandon, 10, allow Anubis to sleeps on their beds at night even though the cat is classed as dangerous
A family, with two young children, have become the first in Britain to adopt a dangerous African wild cat,
Dailymail has reported. According to the report, Kelly, 28, and Seb Jones, 29, from Oldham, welcomed Anubis, a dangerous Serval cat, at 11 weeks old.
And despite being nine months old and 3ft tall now, he is set to double in size within the next year. The couple live with their children, Sienna, four, and Brandon, 10, and Anubis often sleeps on their beds at night even though the cat is classed as dangerous.
Mr Jones claims that despite being a wild animal with fangs as long as two inches, that he loves nothing more than snuggling up with the family at night.
The family have built his own secured outdoor area and have set up CCTV to ensure he's closely watched at all times.
The couple are allowed to take Anubis into public areas but it is required from their local council - in their dangerous animal licence - that he is kept on his lead at all times. The family, who also own a small crocodile known as a Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman and a hairless, Sphynx cat, are hoping to breed Anubis in the near future.
