About
Genets are superficially cat-like creatures, despite being only distantly related to cats. Most of them have spotted coats and long, banded tails, small heads, and large ears. Like civets, genets have strong musk glands, which are used to mark territory, and they are known to perform handstands when doing this. Genets are highly agile creatures, and are the only Viverrids that stand bipedally.
All live exclusively in Africa except for the widespread Common Genet Genetta genetta, which can be found in Northwest Africa and throughout Europe, parts of the Middle East, and the Balearic Islands. Genets are inquisitive, but very cautious animals, and are easily startled. Even those who have been pets for their entire lives can be easily surprised and frightened, upon which they will dart for cover to a place as unreachable as possible by humans or other animals. A genet can squeeze its body through any opening large enough for its head to pass through. Bonded to a human owner, genets can be held and petted, but for the most part do not like to be restrained. It is virtually impossible to hold a genet who does not wish to be held. When scruffed, genets can even turn inside of their skin to facilitate escape. Genets will bite when frightened or cornered, but generally use their bites as a warning, rarely attacking with the ferocity of which they are capable.
Genets are very clean pets, consistent in their use of litter boxes/pans. Shredded paper is preferable to the genet over conventional cat litter. Genet urine, unlike cat urine, is almost odor free and difficult for the human nose to detect. When frightened, genets can release a very strong, musky odor from scent glands used primarily for marking territory.
Wish I had a tongue like this:) its such a cutie, hope you like this creature, xxJen
Another cutie Jen!!I like it to see him with the tongue outside...LOL!!!Great close-up Jen...but I have to agree with harry,your pictures are really better!¨Sharp and clear and do see all the details!!! Ver nicely done my dear!!! Don't forget your blanket...LOL...want to see you roasting like a chicken..Hahahaha!!! Hugssssss, Nicki
Hello dear Ziz, great to see you back after such a long time, although it doesnt seem like I have been away for a long time, winter is cold in Holland, can't get used:) Hope you are doing well, thanks for being there, hugs Jenxx
I had a friend that had a Cougar and an Asian Cat. We used to play with them on a long line in the back yard. I got rolled over a couple of time and had some damage to prove it. The Cheetah is a wonderful animal. You are lucky to be able to spend time with them. Keep warm. Be well, Stan
It really was a rebel, but so very cute, next time I will stay longer and will work as well with the cheetahs in the Cheetah Park I work for, Great work they do there, I am just full of scratches and scars, Jags and Cheetahs have sharp teeth and nails, almost like women..loll Hugs Jenxx
They are wonderful creatures Dave, first time I saw them this close, very shy and different from other animals, also much smaller then I thought, thanks a lot for liking it:) Be well, Jenxx
Thank you my sweet friend, its so good to see you back:) Dont get excited about my shots, must say I am not satisfied at all, had a lot of trouble with light and too much rainy days, so its better to tell instead of pics..lolll Have a great day and good morning!! Hugs Jenxx
Dont be so kind to my shots, I had quite a depression when coming home and looking at my shots, I just still prefer my Olly, cant help it:) Also broke the screen of the Canon while spotting wales, it was stormy and I could hold on while making shots, thats me:))
I dont agree with you about the Ozzies, I think they can be trustworthy, just give them some time to show their trust and they look very well after someone they are friends with......puhhhh ;)
My car is fixed in the meantime, so no delivery, althought that would be great..is that what you having??
I do use my electrical blanket, nothing better then that, put it on 6 and I am roasting like a chick..lollll
I am restless in my head, but hoping this will change soon, lost some pice I saw, which I cant stand as they were from the Cheetah Park I am working for, bit sad now and also upset...how to tell them......thanks for being my almost best friend anyway:) Kus Jen
Great one. I liked the about, I have 3 cats I would trade for a Genet!! Looks like the Rebel is getting a grove on. Nice detail and color!! Be well, Stan
Your image quality is Much better dear, and see, he does want your attention. Oh abt ur car, Keith told me you had an old jaguar. You cant trust those Ozzies, they were not sent to Ozzieland for nothing ;) ;)
