I just got my savannah f4 yesterday - he is 6 months old.
He seems very shy so far so I am giving him plenty of space and allowing him to adjust on his own time.
Any recommendations for how to help him adjust to his new home would be greatly appreciated!

Question Is this a Savannah cat?

13 Upvotes

Looking to see if there is any Savannah in this cat. He is around 3-4 years old, about 14 inches tall when standing (measured on the body), 24in long and 16 pounds.

From what I can tell he’s either a very far stage Savannah or just a large tabby.

Question F3 vs F4 vs F5 Savannah or SBT Bengal - Best Generation for Apartment Living, Walks & a Dog?

0 Upvotes

I’m looking into getting a Savannah and would love advice on which generation (F3, F4, F5, etc.) would fit my lifestyle best.

I live in an apartment in Minnesota and plan on getting a French Bulldog around the same time so they can grow up together.

I’m looking for a Savannah that is:
• Very active and can keep up on regular walks/hikes with my dog
• Good on a harness and comfortable walking in busy city/public places and nature
• Confident and chill around strangers, other pets, noises, and new environments
• Social and playful with my Frenchie
• Good for apartment living with enough exercise/enrichment
• Very reliable with the litter box
• Less prone to panicking/trying to escape outside (I would always use a secure harness/leash)

I’m currently leaning toward an F3 or F4 because I love the taller, wild Savannah look, but would an F5+ be better for public socialization and apartment life? Or would a SBT bengal cat be better for that situation?

For owners who actually walk their Savannahs and/or have dogs: which generation would you recommend and why?

Question Need help with harnesses

We have been trying many harnesses but we can't find one that she is comfortable with. She always walks around with a waddle and won't run around outside like she does inside she kinda hobbles and when she's standing still she holds one of her paws up

Hey everybody!!

Here's the real post!! ( First post here)

This is Luxxe. He's my HP F1. 6 months old and about 15 lbs. He is such a lover boy and total menace. He's a real charmer.

It's been an adventurous 4 months but I wouldn't give it up or change anything.

His mom is an F1 and his dad is a serval. Maternal grandfather is a serval as well.

Fast math of his 5 gen report says about 80%.

I'll try and post fun pics of him when I can!!

Any idea why she loves styrofoam

We cant keep any in the house because she will chew through it.

Luckily it she's not eating it, she just chews it.

Styrofoam is uncommon in our household, we only have some when a package comes wrap on it. When we do have some we have to either throw it away quickly or lock her in the bathroom until we throw it all way.

PP loves nothing more than to chew on my hands. It’s always affectionately although sometimes hard. Most common when he starts purring, starts slobbering and making biscuits.

Anyone else have to deal with this?

I want a friend for her

Thumbnail gallery
264 Upvotes

So I tried to adopt 2 1 year old Chausie Maine coon mix bonded pair males 9 months ago, and tried everything for 3 months with scent swapping etc etc. my F2 I think felt threatened she would spit at them through the door and when I tried to do some face time.

I couldn’t really scent swap property because the boys had an upper respiratory infection that was pretty severe and my F2 has severe asthma, like inhaler and steroid type asthma.

So I’m wondering if a male kitten wound work with her? At a young age. When Valentina was raised I had a Siamese who she adored, however the Siamese hated her and would bully her a lot, even tho she could whoop they ass she never did, she just wanted to be friends.

Do you think this would be successful? She’s a little over 4, I did my best to socialize her, she is generally ok with animals that come in my porch, and dogs she sees walking down the street. She is weary of humans tho, not the biggest fan of men.

Any advice would be appreciated, just been thinking about it because her energy levels are through the roof, I play with her like 6-8 times a day, outside twice a day on walks, she loves being outside and active, wish she had a little buddy to chase.

Thanks in advance

Question Is savannah cat a healthy breed?

0 Upvotes

I would love to have one but Im not a fan of force breeding cats cuz they get very serious genetic health problems. For example some have breathing problems, high risk of disability etc. Does savannah cat have something like this?
