😸 "Savannah" 😸

This feline is the result of a cross between an African wild cat and the domestic cat

Being a relatively new breed, although officially recognized by the TICA (The International Cat Association) in 2002, we know little about its characteristics and behavior, but it is an agile cat, very active, awake and curious and a great jumper, and that its physical aspect is a mixture of the characteristics of the domestic cat and the wild cat.


It may seem like a small wild beast, but the reality is that it is an ordinary cat. The savannah cat, of impressive aspect, is a fairly recent cat breed: it seems that the first specimen appeared in 1986, the result of the cross between a domestic cat and an African serval cat, a wild feline of the African continent, hence the name of savannah The result was this peculiar medium-sized and stylized cat, somewhat larger than a common cat with long legs.


It is curious that, despite coming directly from a wild cat, its character resembles more than the domestic cat: it is affectionate with its humans and in principle (although there are still few references) is not problematic.

it is still a breed in the process of perpetuation and settlement, and it is still difficult to find it outside the United States, its place of origin. One of its most notable features is its large size: it can weigh up to 23 kg, which is a lot for a cat, which is why it is considered one of the largest cat breeds in the world.

As a curiosity, the savannah cat likes water a lot and goes out on the street, so it has a certain tendency to escapism. This is so because of their wild genetic inheritance, so there is some controversy about whether this type of crossings (and their perpetuation with human intervention) are acceptable or are simply a game of the human being to create new races.
