Savannah Cat About - Creature Companion Savannah cats are a domestic cat breed that was developed in the 1980s. They are a wildcat-like appearance with expressive eyes and dark tear stains. They have held the Guinness Book World Record since 2006 for being the world's largest domestic cat. They don't require special care. For routine feline health maintenance, they visit their regular veterinarian. The breed standard requires all traits to be akin to the African Serval. The breed's goal is to produce a wild, yet well-rounded breed that can be used as an alternative to exotic pets. It is easy to mistake Bengal Cats for Savannah Cat due to their poor bloodlines. Lifespan: 12-20 years Weight: 12-25 pounds Exercise: High Hypoallergenic: No Exercise is essential because the energy level of this breed is very high. Socialization and exercise are essential parts of a kitten's development through adulthood. Positive reinforcement and exposure to a friendly environment are best for your kitten's development. Great intelligence and curiosity by nature. They are best suited to active and dedicated homeowners because of their intelligence, curiosity, and high energy needs.
The temperament is exceptional when properly trained. Some would call it a feline version of a dog. They are ideal companions for owners who do not want to deal with the needs of an extra dog but still want an active and busy pet. They are open to social interaction. If left alone, they will pat. They live like kittens for the rest of their lives. Loving and loyal to his immediate family. Although they may be hesitant to meet strangers, they will soon become comfortable around them and show a keen interest in others. They make excellent companions for loyal owners who are smart, loyal and eager to get involved. They are able to understand everything from simple commands to more complex commands. The ears should be similar to those of an African Serval cat. African Serval cats have the largest ears of all cats and the largest ears relative to head size of any cat. As a result, the ears of the Savannah cat are remarkably large and set high on the head. The ears are wide and their base is deep. The ears should be straight and their ends should be rounded. The outer base of the ear should not start below eye level, but can be kept elevated. The inner base of the ears is placed near the top of the head, ideally, parallel vertical lines can be drawn from the inner corner of the eyes to the inner base of the ears. Savannah cats have inherited the "ocelli" mark behind the ear which is used to scare away predators. Ocelli markings can be found throughout nature, such as the wings of butterflies, the ears of most wild cats and even tabby cats. Serval cats have "ocelli" markings behind their ears, which are high-contrast markings that are believed to scare away predators by mimicking the eyes of their enemies. Savannah cats often have a dull ocelli marking with less contrast. The high contrast of black is missing from the white color scheme. Black with white is considered desirable, but having less contrasting colors (brown to black, gray to brown) is not a flaw. The head should be a modified wide wedge with a rounded shape. The head should be wider than longer. The front view of the face should have a distinctive symmetrical triangular shape. The nose is long with a small chin. It is preferred that the head be marked "L L" rather than the "M" mark, although this is not in the breed standard. The eyes should be of medium size and close slightly below the brow bone. The top of the eye resembles a boomerang, positioned at a precise angle so that the corner of the eye juts down from the line of the nose. The lower half of the eye is almond shaped. Eyes are medium deep, low on the forehead and aligned with facial symmetry. There are tears between the eyes and the nose. All eye colors are allowed and they are independent of coat color. The color of the Savannah cat is brown, silver, black and smoke. Acceptable colors are those that mimic the African Serval. The most popular African serval color is a buttery yellow with solid jet black spots. Gold is brown in colour, so it is correctly recorded as Brown Spotted Brindle (BST).
