Savannah

...Cat Breed

		African Tiger Cat    Savannah is a relatively new cat breed that is somewhat-rare. They're tall and golden with large black spots and have the appearance of a wild African tiger cat called serval.    Like the serval, Savannahs are alert, intelligent and move with clever ease at the same time they charm their owners with their affectionate sweet nature. Savannahs are very personable and easy to handle.

History

   The Savannah cat was created from breeding the African serval with domestic cats that include the Bengal, Oriental Short hair, Egyptian Mau, Siamese and other breeds.
   The result is an affectionate cat with a very wild striking body type and coat with a great personality.

Description

   The Savannah is the product of a cross between a Bengal cat and a Serval. These cats have a wild look with their large black spots. Savannahs have tall slender muscular body with long neck, ears and strong legs. They also have thick tail and little feet.

Temperament

   They are warm, friendly, affectionate and sweet-tempered cats. They are also "dog-like" because of their eagerness to retrieve items, do tricks, following people and enjoying walking on a harness. These cats are energetic but not overly so and they don't require any additional space.
   Savannahs make an excellent pet for families. They enjoy playing with members of the family along with other animals. They adapt quickly and become an adored member of any household.

Care

   Savannahs are easy to care for. Little or no grooming is usually needed and as they shed very little. This cat breed enjoys being petted and groomed and their coats are very soft and velvety to the touch.
   They do not require a special diet or health regimen and are easily litter-trained.
