Anyone have any knowledge about Savannah cats? My granddaughter is interested .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savannah_(cat)

They sound like a cool animal.

An alternative might be The Bengal
now that there are more of them
they've come down in price.

Cats 101: Bengal


Cats 101: Savannah


Although every individual will have a unique personality,
doing the research prior to buying or adopting helps you
to know in advance the characteristic quirks regarding
health, temperament & what you're letting yourself in for.whistle

A cool cat, but IMO have her go to the local animal shelter and rescue an abandoned kitty that is going to be put down. Just take her there to look at them, she'll probably fall in love with one of the poor little things.

Unless one needs a specific critter, like one that is non-allergenic, there are so many dogs and cats being put down every day there are plenty to be had without needing animal mills.

Agreed, Jim. There are some beautiful purebreds, but the kitten at the shelter is the cutest of them all.

You're my age. My worry is also the damned animal outliving me if I get a kitten or puppy.

There are a lot of good older cats and dogs too. Just sayin'. grin

They're also harder for the shelters to get rid of since they don't have that instant cute factor.

Just sayin'.

I remember you mentioning that. I have thought of it too. Makes me realize that the end is much nearer the beginning, but such is life, eh?

So get an older one. Good compromise smirk

Yes. We have one old (about 16 years old) cat, Scout, and I don't feel it's fair to her to bring a new cat into the house while she's with us. I hope we don't get a cat for a long while.

She has two cats. Has no problem with pet cats but the Savannah is different. It's not a tabby. It's a hybrid. It has a much different personality than domestic cats. It's much like a dog. A tabby doesn't connect to its owner like a dog. It acts like the owner is just part of its territory . Doesn't respond generally when called. A savannah can be trained to do so.

Much of how it acts is depended on which ratio of Serval to domestic mix it is.
