I-Cat asher - ingqungquthela okanye inyaniso engummangaliso?

Ngo-2006, ihlabathi lajikeleza umyalezo owabangela ukuba ibhomu iqhubeke kwihlabathi lezithandane zezilwanyana: inkampani yaseMerika i-LIFESTYLE PETS, ngenxa yendlela yokuhamba ngokulandelelana kwamagciwane aseAfrika, ama-Asian asekhaya kunye neekati eziqhelekileyo zasekhaya, zavelisa uhlobo olutsha. Ukubhekiselele kwimvelaphi esempumalanga yomncintiswano omtsha, waqanjwa ngokuthi unkulunkulukazi waseBhabhiloni u-Astarte (ngesiNgesi sase-Ashere). Iifoto zale "zivela kuThixo" ngexesha elifutshane liba iinkokheli kwinani lokuchofoza kwi-Intanethi. Okokuqala, ubukhulu be "zifuywayo" zibethe: ikati ephakathi yohlobo lwe-asher yafikelela ubude bomitha omnye kwaye yayilinganisa malunga neekhilogram ezili-14. Ubungakanani benja enkulu incediswa yimfumbo ephezulu kunye nombala we ingwe.

Inkampani ekhupha ikati enkulu ebomvu emhlabeni, yathi umlingiswa wabameli balobu buhlanga ngumhlobo omncinci: bathanda ukuxubha ngeenyawo Kwenkosi, purr, umdlalo omnandi kunye nabantwana kwaye ungalokothi ulume umthumeli okanye iindwendwe ekhaya. Indlela yokuphila Izilwanyana zasekhaya zithi isilwanyana sithanda ukuhamba nge-leash njengenja kwaye, ngaphezu koko, i-hypoallergenic, oko kukuthi, ingagcinwa kubantu abanokukhishwa kweenwele zeekati ngokomzimba. Kwangexesha elide ihlabathi lonke liyihlazile malunga nale mibhobho, kwaye inani lama-27 ukuya kuma-125 lamawaka-dollar alizange litshitshise abo bafuna ukufumana le-asher. Ikati, ngokwemigaqo yenkampani, inokuthengwa kuphela emva kokufaka idiphozithi yeeyure eziyi-6,000 zeedola, emva koko abanikazi bathembisa ukuhambisa isilwanyana emva kweenyanga ezintandathu kuphela.

I-agiotage yahlala malunga nemibini emibini, kude kube ngo-2008 umntu othile uChris Shirk wasePennsylvania (USA), umzalisi ohlakulela uhlanga lwe-Savannah, akazange azibone kwisithombe esithunyelwe kwi-intanethi, esichaza ukuba ibonisa ikati ye-asher, isilwanyana sakhe. UChris uthe le nto yathengwa ngumqeshwa wezilwanyana zezilwanyana ekusebenziseni ngobuqhetseba ixabiso le Savannah. Uhlobo lokugqibela lukhulu kakhulu ngobukhulu, kuba lwalukhutshwa ngokugqithisa i-serval kunye nekati yasekhaya yaseBangal (kwaye oku okugqibela, inzala yenkomo yasendle yaseBangal.

Inkampani "i-US Fish and Wildlife", eyachongwa nguChris Shirk, yenza uphando ngeesampuli zeDNA. Ngaba Iingcambu ezimbini ezivela kwi-nursery yaseShirk, iisampuli zegazi zathathwa zaza zathathwa kwi-laboratory ezizimeleyo zoBukumkani baseNetherlands. Uvavanyo lwe-DNA lwama-laboratory luqinisekisile ukuba ikati eyaziwayo kwi-intanethi yintombi ngqo yala ma Savannah ePennsylvania. Iindaba zokuthi uhlanga olutsha luyinto efihlakeleyo, ixhalaba ngabadlali be-felinologists, kwaye ngokukodwa abo sele bekwazi ukuhlawula ukuthenga kwabo imali elinganayo neendleko zeemoto ezintsha.

I-Lifestyle Izilwanyana zipapashe isiqinisekiso sokuthi ityala likaShirk lalingasese ngasese, elibangelwa ngumqeshwa ongathembekanga, kwaye ukuba ikati ye-asher ikhona njengento yokuzimela eyakhekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, amaxabiso abameli balo mkhosi awile kakhulu. Ngaphandle kweentlobo zeenqwelo eziqhelekileyo zeRoyal, ezingenayo i-leopard yamacwecwe amnyama emva kwe-caramel, ayinikezi ngaphezu kweeyure ezingama-22 zamawaka.

Kungakhathaliseki ukuba kwakunjani, nokuba yayiyimveliso yokuzimela okanye ngakumbi i-Savannahs enkulu, kodwa ikati lika-Ashere linabalandeli bakhe. Ngokuvisisanayo, abaninzi banqwenela ukuhamba ngesitrato kwizitrato zale ngwe mini. Eyona nto ikhethiweyo yiRoyal - esele ibhekiswe kwiRoy Royal - kuba kungangonyaka ongekho ngaphezu kwamane ama-kittens, kunye ne-Snow (imhlophe epheleleyo) iintlobo zale ntambo. Izilwanyana ezinjalo zibonakaliso nje kuphela zezinto zokunethezeka, kodwa ziyizo zonyango.
