Are caracals safe?

Is a Caracal Dangerous? Quite simply, yes. Though a caracal is not likely to wait for you to fall asleep and rip your face off on the first day, it is a cat, and a wild one at that. A caracal has the genetic makeup and tools to attack anything and anyone that it deems to be dangerous.

Do caracals hiss when happy?

Like the rest of the small cats, caracals may purr when content and make a variety of other mews, growls, and hisses to express their mood.
