Have youe ever heard of the "Savannah" cat? cross between housecat& wild cats

They are NOT actually cross breeding to the large cats, because they wouldn't successfully breed that way. Even the Lygers are sterile & thats between 2 of the large cats. The reason that there can be successful cross breeding with some of the small cats is because they haven't had the genetic drift that far yet. The cat they are breeding to look striped like a tiger isn't crossbred to a tiger, I don't remember exactly how they are going about it, but I read the artical. I'll just stick to my moogies, there are plenty of kitty-babies out there that need homes without paying $1000 or even $200 for them.

They are beautiful cats.I used to work in a pet store.We had a Bengal kitten that I sold to a friend.She was very affectionate but as she grew older she started getting a little wild.But this could be due to her kids teasing her.They are very expensve cats.She had a problem keeping her in.It would cry all the time.But at that price I wouldn't let it out either.

I had a look at your photo & rated it & wrote a comment. It is a magnificant looking cat, very striking indeed. Do they say what size it is? It actually looks quite big in the photo. Occasionally we have wild cats breed with domestic cats, & they can turn out quite big. Whoever is able to breed these beautiful cats are going to make a lot of money.

I think I've heard of these guys - I went to a website about Savannas and took a look. Nice looking, but no mention of the cats' actual temperament. Oh! And no mention of possible dietary and health requirements. I suspect they'd like people to believe that they are just like a house cat only bigger -- but I can tell, they will need more protein, exercise (they look high strung) and may tend to be wilder than a domestic cat. For the price tag, I wouldn't bother unless I was a breeder. I'm happy with my newest addition, Tribble, whose picture is my avatar. He's a tabby, but has California Star Spangled markings. His underside looks just like the Savanna's coat - light sandy and brown spotted. His paws are also highly defined, with black fur in between his toes and sandy fur on the tops. For all intents he looks like a "Water Cat". And he does like water, but not enough to jump in and start fishing! It must have been a serious undertaking to do cross-breeding. I"m thinking they did it by artificial insemination. Now that must have been...fun. ;)

I had never heard of it. That is interesting, but they sure are expensive. I still think I'd be scared to have one around, even if I could afford it. They do sound beautiful though.

No... i never heard it. ohhh... i think it's so elegance. i like cats..., but i don't like to touch them..., because they can give us toxplasma, some of the dangerous disease by cat

This is the first time I have heard of this information about cats. They are certainly very expensive and not within my budge for sure. LOL But I bet that they are very beautiful cats and am glad that they are affectionate and friendly. Is that a picture of one that you have as your avatar? I would have to win the powerball to be able to get one of those types of cats.

I had never heard of the Savannah cat. How is it that they work out to be sweeter than the normal domestic cats? That's neat in a strange way. God they are expensive though, aren't they! I would not be brave enough to keep a panther as a pet! Can you imagine if it decided to start spraying? What a stench!
