The short answer is no. However, some people do keep these wild cats from Africa and Asia as exotic pets. These are no household kitties. Related to servals, caracals can weigh up to 40 pounds and can seriously injure a person with their teeth and claws. In ancient times, caracals were trained to hunt pigeons in an arena, each cat killing 10 to 12 birds with a single leap.
