Costly cats

For all the cat lovers out there - it seems a new hybrid species is about to hit Australian shores.Called Savannah Cats, they're a cross between a domestic cat and the serval, an African wild cat. They can jump 1.8m from a standing start, don't fear water, and weigh more than 10kg - which has raised fears that they're going to be a very real threat to native Australian wildlife. Over 2,000 people have signed a petition to keep them out. If they're successful, this will be a disappointment to those who are keen to own a Savannah Cat, each of which supposedly carries a $10,000 price tag.
