This super rare Caracal cat named Demi Moore is only one of about 30 cats of her breed in the world. Of course, as one of the rarest cats, she is also one of the world's most expensive. Demi's owner Anastasia paid out around 1.5 million roubles for the feisty feline, which is about $23,400. The breed was created by crossing a wild Caracal and an Abyssinian cat and this domestic kitty certainly shows off her wild side now and again. When fully grown, a Caracal cat can grow up to 20 inches height and weigh up to 33 pounds. At the moment, all of the Caracal cats live in Russia.
