This video highlights a hidden problem with this wonderful cat breed. This is the Savannah cat which is often bred to a high filial level. By this I mean that often they are F1 or F2 Savannah cats. In the case of the F1, the father of the cat is a serval, a medium-sized wild cat species. The mother will be a domestic cat probably a tabby cat or another Savannah cat. It is these very classy and impressive and indeed large domestic cats which can sometimes be unwanted, remarkable though that might sound because they are expensive. You can pay $20,000 for one of these cats. In the video you see a cat whose name is Loki. A beautiful cat but whose home now will be at Big Cat Rescue. This is because the owners divorced and I guess neither of them wanted to keep this cat. Perhaps they found out that it is not easy to look after a top-quality first filial or second filial wild cat hybrid. There's lots of wild cat in them. For a lot of people there is too much wild cat in these hybrids...

I would like to show you two videos of a wonderful Savannah cat called MAGIC. She is a first generation Savannah cat from the wild cat serval and it shows in her athleticism. But, and this is important, she has been beautifully socialised so that she integrates with the human world without a problem. .. see the above video in large format and: In both she shows her true domestic nature while her wild side in her size and appearance is there for all to see. See the above in large format . One last thing. MAGIC is the Guinness World Records Tallest Domestic Cat - official. See also Worlds Biggest Cat . Go to the Home Page . Michael
