They are so cute and cuddly as kittens, unfortunately that stage will only last a few months that leaves you another 15 years with a dangerous, temperamental wild animal that takes constant care and vigilance, ties you down to home, upsets the neighbors and police and gets you into various forms of hot water. And the cute kitten ends up housed in some iffy refuge or just euthanized.
You think through love and affection you will change the temperament of a beast from the way God created it to be. That it will show its gratitude to you for your loving care by reciprocating with love. It only works that way in novels, lions turn in to lions and wolves turn into wolves – that’s just the way things will turn out.
You want a really cool pet that no one else has. There is a good reason none of your neighbors have Big Cats. You will loose your homeowners insurance, your neighbors will hate you and worry about their kids and the only folks you will “impress” are the local police, when the are sure to come calling. And they are going to hassle you severely – get ready to keep a wheelbarrow load of up-to-date paper work for them all on a single Big Cat. And don’t think you’ll be able to walk around town with the Cat on a leash. You will be up the river pronto if you try that.
Still want a leopard - take a look at Bengal Cats.......

Leopard Cat with a domestic cat. It's name comes from the Latin name of its wild ancestor, Felis Bengalensis (Asian Leopard
Cat). The domestic Bengal is similar in appearance to the Asian Leopard cat, and its genetic makeup contains a contribution
from that wild cat species. The Bengal cat breed has a strong physical resemblance to its beautiful wild ancestor.
The Bengal is a large, sleek, muscular cat with its hind-quarters slightly higher than its shoulders with a thick tail that
is carried low. The Bengal should be alert and affectionate.Its wild appearance is enhanced by its distinctive spotted or
marbled coat. The different coat patterns are either leopard spotted or marbled, on a background colour of brown, or
sometimes white.
There is no other breed of cat which displays the gold or pearl dusting effect (glitter) of the Bengal. Its pelt has a rich
smooth feel. The voice of the Bengal is different from that of other domestic cats.
The Bengal is self-assured, affectionate and playful, with the stunning looks of its wild ancestor.
