Big Cat Stryker Scares Miami Residents In Buena Vista

A Big cat wandering sound outside your house at night could just about give anyone a fright. Well, In Miami, residents of the Buena Vista neighborhood of Miami caught one on surveillance camera and called it in. Actually, it turns out that the animal wasn’t about to hurt anyone, and he has a name: Stryker. Apparently, he’s new in the area and has a lot of followers on Instagram.

Big Cat Stryker Has A Laidback Personality

Furry friends come with all sorts of personalities, and larger felines are no different. The owner of Stryker reassured people that they needn’t fear his pet. Actually, it is known as an F1 Savannah cat. According to NBC Miami, his owner recently moved to the area, and during all the fuss of sorting out the house, Stryker set off to explore.

In fact, the big cat simply walked around for a bit before “he fell asleep in someone’s backyard.”  Apparently, his owner had already gone to bed when he suddenly missed the cat and jumped up to go and find it. In the meantime, local residents got a big fright. It turns out that Stryker is relatively rare and the breed is a cross between an African Serval and a domestic cat.

By African standards, a Serval is not huge. Lions, cheetahs, and leopards are larger. But still, it couldn’t have been fun encountering the cat not knowing that he’s a big softie. On Instagram, Stryker garnered nearly a million followers since his account was opened. There, fans see him tolerating the family dog, getting comfy on the sofa, and checking things out with typical cat curiosity.
