Is this an actual cat?  By cat I mean of the house variety.  This cat
looks like it could be some kind of lynx or maybe even a serval --
especially since its ears are down in each shot.

Ignore the "l33t" writing on the first photo, I didn't write it so no
clue where it actually came from.

I would have said it was a Bengal - but the shape of the head in the 2nd
photo doesn't seem to be that of a domestic cat.  Could be wrong though,
never seen a Bengal in real life.

No, it's a largish breed of domestic cat: http://www.bengalcat.com/

Oh, is it really?  I swore it was some wild species of feline.  I
mean... its beautiful but at the same time looks like a wild beast.

And REALLY muscled with a big mouth, and those teeth -- I think
that's the part that freaks me out.

Well, it could be a domestic bengal cat, or finding a picture at the
link I gave, it could be the Bengal's predecessor, the Asian Leopard
Cat.  Have a look at the picture in the upper right:

Ah, OK.  Having looked at both links I think that's probably it.  Or
even a bit of what RobZip said too.  That it's a Bengal plus a little
something on the wild side.

Thanks for the links by the way.

Perhaps an Ashera? Recently created cross of Asian Leopard cat and domestic
as is the Bengal, but with Lynx thrown in the mix. Still, the pics of the
Asheras I've seen show more of a domestic cat appearance of the head. I came
acros a site discusing the Ashera where the guy promoting the breed is
reputed to be of a rather shady background in his previous financial
dealings. He is reported to want the $22,000 purchase price of an Ashera
nine months in advance of delivery.

Thanks for that information, RobZip.  And um... yeah, I wouldn't pay
for ANYTHING 9 months in advance.  Especially if it cost $22,000.
