Any savannah outdoor cats?

John, this may be true for those few of you who feel whole prey to their Savannahs (or any cat) on a regular basis, but I have yet to see one of my cats actually kill and consume a critter that was unfortunate enough to wander into their enclosure. It's just not in their nature to hunt for food - my cats at least are far too domesticated (aka spoiled).
Now if they were starving, maybe...
Agreed, Patti. After Katie was missing for two weeks and came back an emaciated wreck, I find it hard to believe they are super-predators. The cats that I have had get out of the house that returned hale and hearty were ones that had befriended humans to get them to feed them! That's their style of "hunting" and foraging, LOL!

hmmm, asking if a Savannah would be a good indoor/outdoor cat to adopt, is like asking if a newborn baby would be good to let outside unattended, with no concern for it's welfare. Ya, I'd black ball you, and send your personal info to all the other breeders, classified as "NOT ACCEPTABLE" Just saying.!!!!

I currently don't feed whole prey, but rather whole carcass ground rabbit and chicken thighs with added organs.
My cats could certainly be different, although domestic cats in general are amongst the planets most efficient hunters. I'm also sure it would have a lot to do with opportunity, as that rabbit in the backyard just looks like an updated version of the Kong Kickeroo.
Anyway, like anything else I'm sure there are cats that wouldn't take to it as easy as others. Watching Dino and the way he practices stalking a toy, I'm absolutely sure he would be an effective hunter outdoors. Sometimes for an hour or more, he will place a toy in a precarious place approach it from various angles and eventually just pull all the stuffing from it. If the toy was a squirrel, rabbit or chipmunk undoubtedly it would be lunch.

How many times have you checked up on him since you got him back - making sure that it wasn't just a dream?! I am pretty sure that I would be getting up at 2 am every day for at least a week.
I cannot imagine what you went thru losing him.....and again what it was like when he reappeared. The longest I have lost a cat was a couple of days and that was an eternity.
