The cat is a cross between an African Serval and an Asian Leopard.  They sell for somewhere between $22,000 and $28,000 and when mature, measure 4 feet standing on their hind legs.  Check out the video!

Some of you who are toilet training your cat may have excitedly told people about your efforts, only to get the sarcastic response, “What! Are you going to teach him to flush, too?!” Well, now you can answer with a “Yes.”
Yep, the cat in this video named Gizmo loves flushing the toilet. I don’t know if he also uses the toilet for his “business”, but it’s a fun video to watch.
