Before considering it you would have to be very good with cats, if you were thinking about getting your first cat, or pet altogether, a cat like this would probably not be a proper choice, but later on I don't see why not. Another thing to consider would be whether or not you could take care of it but, if you have an extra $22,000 to pay for the cat, you probably have enough money to pay for it's food, other necessities, and some toys.
To answer the question "Would you pay $22,000 for the ashera cat?" If I had the money, absolutely. This hybrid between house cat and serval and leopard cat has to the most beautiful kind of cat in the world, and it's domestic! I've always been a cat-person and adored tigers and leopards, and this cat looks like both of them in one. One thing you need to remember is that money is nothing more than an object, one that will never bring you the same happiness as a living being, whereas this cat would be a companion for years and years. You can't put a price on life. Now I understand why so many people would say no, there are too many economic problems right now for anyone with a low budget to buy even an average house cat, and I certainly don't have the money, though I wish I did because, as I said at the beginning, I would most definitely get one.
My current house cats (All six of them) and simply wonderful to have around, whenever I have a bad day my cats never fail to cheer me up, they always have but especially now. I wouldn't call it researching, but I've been paying attention to how every cat I come in contact with acts and they all have these eccentric, self righteous, and, more often than not, very social behaviors, so it would be interesting to see if this kind of cat would act the same way. I've never been much of a dog-person, but the one thing I like about them is that they don't crawl under the bed and stay there for hours and hours at a time, and from what I've read these ashera cats are about dog-sized. I don't see how a cat that big could fit under my bed when my little cats hardly can anyway.
Last part, let's have $60,000 and went to a car dealership to get a car and there are two to choose from. One is $40,000, looks rather ugly, and one is $60,000, looks awesome, both are in perfect condition and can get you from point A to point B for the next 15 years. Would you get the $60,000 one? I bet you would, and to think you would have been able to get an awesome cat for that extra $20,000.
