Wow... we truly are in the year 2007 - who'da thunk it. I get this email from Daily Candy (I've blogged about them before) they give me the skinny about what "in." Well, apparently Leopards are in. Here's some of the email they sent: If you have a spare $22,000 lying around, you can get yourself the world’s most exotic domestic cat, the Ashera. By blending the bloodlines of the African Serval and Asian Leopard Cat with a domestic cat, a totally tame feline resembling a mini leopard is born.

Don’t be intimidated by their fierce, leopard-like looks; Asheras are fully socialized, affectionate, and intelligent. They get along with children and other pets and require the same care as a regular house cat. They even enjoy leisurely walks on a leash.

Your Ashera is hand delivered fully vaccinated with nail caps on its claws, as well as a year of veterinary insurance, a microchip identifier, and the ear of an animal behaviorist for ten years. Because you can never be too careful.

You've gotta check this kitty out! I love cats but I tell you what... these things look like you couldn't take a nap next to them. You'd have to sleep with one eye open the whole time for fear that you may be mistaken for a ground hog. The eyeball would get dusty - wouldn't it? That would hurt. How cool would it be to have one of these in your wedding? Awesome!!!
