Very very nice, think we may have to save up for an f1 in the future as they are stunning and this is coming from a man who doesn't like normal cats at all, could you pm me how much f1s cost if you don't mind as we are very interested in getting one, also I take it the f1 would be ok with our f6 sbts.

Steve, F1s can range from $6500 - >$12,000 depending on the sex (females are more because they can be bred, males are sterile so pets only). Nonstandard F1s (e.g., bicolor or red) can sometimes be found for a bit less, depending on the breeder.

It is hard to say if an F1 would get along with the F6s, but as long as the F6s are active and playful they should do fine together. Just remember, if you see signs of persistence and stubbornness in your F6s, an F1 will be that only tenfold...

I have two F1s in my house with F4s and F5s and all is fine, bar the occasional spat because half of them are intact hormonal females (which makes a difference!). I will say that my largest F1 Nina is completely dominated by my F4 and F5 girls.... who are much smaller but much more feisty in their intercat relationships! An F1 is a LOT of cat though, so consider your existing cats first to decide if they would want that kind of intense kitty companion

Thanks for all the great information guys I have looked on there too, would a serval be much different to an f1, obviouslythe serval wwould be bigger but also are they cheaper as I'm sure I've read that the f1s are the most expensive, and our two are veryaactive, makes us laugh, when they have a mad half hour and an extra mad ten minutes lol, like a whirlwind going around the house lol,.

Sorry for the hijack of the thread by the way

That is an article I made up some time ago comparing a Savannah to a Serval as pet... hope it helps
