I'd never declaw ANY cat, I keep my pets stock, the exception is getting them fixed of course. Our guys are indoor cats, but a quick escape could mean a litter of unknown or worse unwanted kitties. Not cool.
My tabby, Ricky is almost 12 years old & still going strong. When the inevitable happens, we'll most likely be getting a Savannah or Bengal kitten.
Unless they have an all black hybrid by then. The wife wants a real black cat. (She collects them, stuffed, ceramic, etc...) I'm not sure if a panther hybrid is in the works or if they already exist. Any idea?
The other question I'll ask you & the breeder at that site, is how do hybrid kittens get along with domestics that are grown? Jens cat, Jeffy, is about 6 yeas old.... by the time we're down to one cat he could be pretty old himself.
Thanks for the help with this. It's good to know someone who has direct experience with hybrid felines. Youtube vids are fun to watch, but not very informative.  |
I remember seeing a radom black Savannah here and there on breeder websites. I think they were a really dark grey, almost black with dark black spotting.
There are alot of people with domestic cats and a hybred. The breeder we got our cat from actually had a german shepard in the house and they would play together. I think alot depends on how well the cat is socialized more then the breed. I also wouldn't get an F1 and would only get an F2 if it wsa properly socialized, ect. F3 seem to be the best for house pets from what I've reasearched. Our cat specifically doesn't seem to get along too well with other animals which is odd being the breeder had the dog and had 2 separete litters of kittens and he played with them all. But then again, we really haven't given him enough time arround other animals either. Just a quick trip to Petco, then hiss and leave so we dont' cause a scene.
One thing to do is def check laws in your area though. Some states don't allow them, some major cities are a no go, military could be difficult with going overseas, ect.. PA isn't bad, NJ isn't bad, MD is a no go state, and DEL doesn't seem to bad but you had to go though inspections and all. I know for a pure Serval, just to get the permit to own in PA you have to already have 2 years of verifiable handling experience at a zoo or something along those lines and a few other things as well.
If you ever do think of getting a Savannah or just wanna come check one out, let me know. Your more then welcome to visit. I'm all for him being arround lots of people and he is a blast. They are really high energy so it is litereally like owning a dog that craps in a litterbox but plays like a cat/dog(ours plays fetch but isn't too good about giving you the toy) lol
