Do you know if Savannah cats make good pets? http://www.serval-savannah-cat.com I have seen ads for savannah kittens for sale. I really want one but I am worried they maybe to wild. This site http://www.serval-savannah-cat.com/care_sav.htm says no special diet is required for them.

1. That depends. Yes they can be dangerous, but so can any animal. If you are younger (between 20 and 50) and you have no kids or other pets It may be fine to get one. But keep in mind that they are second generation wild animals. They have tendencies that normal cats do not. If you have children or older people living with you, i wouldn't do it. Kids and older people are more fragile, also kids do not always know how to properly handle animals.
2. My friend has one and its just like a normal cat (whenever I see it) but it can jump HIGH, so take that into consideration.
3. A Savannah is mixed wild cat, like living w/ a dog that is part wolf. Their urine smells way worse & you cannot trust that the wild temperament is completely buried. You could never trust it around your children or other pets, much less allow it outside. You could probably need a special rider on your insurance.
4. I just answered this for someone else almost identical to your question and the same links..hmmm?? Anyways You need to talk to those that actually own them. Here are a few who I talk to about them as they are my favorite breed. They are nothing like what the others have stated. I hope you find out more information to make a realistic sound decision about purchasing a savannah cat. Of course all breeders do a prerequisite to ensure their cats are going to a good forever home. Good Luck! =^..^= http://www.a1savannahs.com/ http://www.kirembosavannahs.com (this page is the SVCC Rescue coordinator's page) http://www.empirexotics.com/ROYALTY.html http://www.savannahcatbreed.com/new.php http://www.savannah-cats.net/ http://www.gattobello.com/ http://www.jasirisana.com/ http://www.halestone.org/ http://www.savannahisland.com/ I added the others below for you!

5. They make absolutely superb pets, they are excellent with children as they love company . I'm looking to buy an F1 or F2 male and the ones that I have seen so far have a great temperament. They will happily eat anything a normal cat eats but more of it and they do prefer the better quality foods. Having spoken to some owners both from the UK and the States they can be a bit mischievous if left to their own devices, they need to play and be exercised. Go for it - you won't regret it.
