    I have two of these cats, that were rescued as kittens. Original owner couldn't deal with their behavior. Breeders are not presenting their behavior accurately, and even I was not prepared for how they actually act and behave in the house. If you want one of these, PLEASE do not buy one. There are SO MANY up for adoption from people giving them up! Even young kittens and juveniles, like I got.

    I remember when I was growing up, we found 2 kittens. We kept them for a couple of months, but one of them was normal with a slight mean streak and the other seemed to have mental issues. The normal one would give us the killer look, but never attacked us. At night, she would just walk up and down on us while we slept in our beds like she was prowling and protecting us. We were just kids then. We always had cats, but they were different and we never knew what type of kittens we had gotten. They were loyal and liked to play along with cuddles, but we had to get rid of them because they would not use the litter box no matter how hard we tried. I’m looking at this video, and the Savannah cats look exactly like them and I am certain they were Savannah. Same spots, slender bodies, and big in size for cats under a year old.

I know how to do both. But I really love the larger breeds of cats.

    A lot of these beautiful cats ends up living in misery when the owners realizes that they can't handle the destruction that comes with Savannah cat. They are wild and needs a lot more care than people understand what comes to feeding them example. They do not thrive with cat food, they need raw food diet that comes expensivie pretty fast. It how far Mondo got in few days shows how much these cats needs space to move around. Their living space should not be one room or small cage. They need space to get that exercise.
    If you do clips like this you should also bring out the negatives that comes with owning cat like this. How they are bread example. It is not without problems. With cute videos you end up selling idea from owning cat like this for people that don't know what they are getting into and result will be suffering for everyone but mostly for the animals that are forced to take part to this. Seriously disappointed that Discovery takes part to things like this.

However, he always came back in, mainly because he knew he could come back out. A lot of owners don't let their cats out for fear of their deaths, but the cats would rather live 1 year outside than 12 years in.

The only money I paid was for an import licence and air fare when I brought her back to Britain and then six months quarantine. Apart from being blind in one eye, her face was almost identical to the cat in this vid but the spots on her flanks were a little less distinct.

      Love the name that they are called… but that has nothing to do with it. In a lot of the states they are illegal to have it is because they say they do a lot of damage to the Bird population. They are SPECIALISTS on both Birds and Mice. They require you to have your LICENSE. Having your LICENSE is for a REASON. They are NOT a Domestic Cat. Some are even not allowed to be where people have their License. It’s kind of stupid if you get your License and are going to go through what is all involved in getting it. Part of getting your license is spending your required amount of time with them… learning THEIR behaviors… knowing what’s actually involved in having these Cats and HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT than Domestic Cat. Yes… every version of Cat are Cat Behavior that is Universal to ALL… but their are their own behavior that is exclusive to the Species. For example to what these Cats SPECIALIZE IN. Things like that. Without the EXPERIENCE… You should not even THINK about trying to get one. That’s why they are illegal in places. Even with the people that want to get their Licenses.

      Right? If I, a two-legged, middle aged human (in not so particularly spectacular physical condition) can take a leisurely 12 mile afternoon hike, then why the fudge should anyone with even just minimal brain activity be so surprised that a four-legged, semi-wild animal of any kind, let alone a semi-wild cat is able to cover 12 miles in a couple of weeks?!?!?! Most likely that cat was roaming around much longer distances during the period it was free, feeding on birds and other people's small pets (and children😉), and was simply randomly captured 12 miles away from his original prison. Yet the brilliant humans excitedly concluded that the cat managed to travel an "astonishing" 12 miles away from their home. 🤷‍♂️

    "Savannahs are low maintenance"? Alright, this whole "Cats 101" on Savannahs is complete bullshit. They require A LOT of maintenance. How do you think it run off and went 12 miles away? Every cat, and pet really, requires maintenance, but depending on the breed they might be more social, or might need more interaction, or might just have more energy in general so you'll have to play with them more often, and spend more time with them unless you want them ruining your whole house.
    Savannah cats are REALLY HIGH maintenance. They are still pretty wild. Having a scratching post around the house isn't going to cut it. They have a lot of energy, which is why having a sort of wheel (like hamster wheels but much larger, for cats) is recommended with Savannah cats, as well as with Bengal cats (which also happens to be a breed with a wild cat). You're going to need to play with them constantly, and spend a ton of time with them, if you don't want a ton of issues down the road.
    So no, they aren't just "twice the cat" in size, they are also twice the cat in energy, so far from "low maintenance".

In fact My cat even talks back to me in his language when I communicate through certain noises 😛😛😛
      So nope it's not that he looks at me for food, it's a bond and imprint as well, bonds happen any pet dog cat rabbit bird, talk to a animal trainer he'll tell you the same
