Amara Painite 75% F1 female

75% ? Is that by breeding an F1 back to a serval?

You can have mine!! I shouldn't have ever gotten another F-1! (what was I thinking??) They are so high maintenance. I also have two domestic cats that were here first (male&female siblings) so I've got the 2 Savannah males and my male domestic cat and they all have decided to start spraying all over the dang place and that alone is making me crazy!! I've tried everything and yes all three are neutered (have been since they were 4 mos old) but it's not making a difference I guess with that many males in the house! I've had to put double wire doors on every room in my house to let air through because I can't lock any of them up in a room with the door closed, its too hot and they like to see whats going on. And all the windows in the house had to be reinforced with wire/mesh screens because its too easy to slice open regular screens and the front, side and back doors had to be replaced with security screen doors. Bongo can bend those aluminum screen doors from the bottom and get out within like 2 minutes. Each cat has GPS trackers around their necks at all times, thank god for those because I wouldn't even know which direction to look for them if it weren't for those cat trackers plus they don't stick together one goes one way and the other goes somewhere else (cats aren't pack animals) And since I've brought *kitten home (black nose high%) the dynamic between Bongo and I has completely changed. Plus I have a dog business here and all the animals want attention all the time! Seems like I'm always feeding, picking up shit outside & cleaning up pee, poop & throw up on the inside and making sure everyone is present and happy at all times. I've been working on this cat enclosure for Bongo and *kitten now since February (myself) and its a lot of work but is going to be worth it! I live on over a half acre (which is a lot for Huntington Beach) and the enclosure is the entire perimeter of the yard and over the back fence is a 5 acre park and I've made perches for them and all that good stuff so they can look at things going on over there. I'm still working on it though coming down to the last phase (the top) then I will be finished and I can't wait and neither can they. They can run full blast in there and there's trees and scratching posts from real tree trunks I have put in the ground for them. I thought they would be cool with my other cats but no they aren't at all and I can't trust them. I'd never leave them alone running free through the house if I had to leave or if I'm home!! They don't know their own strength and I know they would kill my two other cats for sure and its such a pain having to lock and unlock the wire doors going in and coming out each time all day long but I have no choice!

Typical yes, but technically you could also get a 75% high percent F1 by breeding a male serval with any later generation high percent SV female that is 50% serval.

Yes, people do not understand the high energy and intelligence of these cats...we try and try to tell people, but they do not want to listen. At least you are trying to make it work.

If you want to rant or need advice, there are many here who have more than one F1...

My F1 took a year and a half to warm up and play with my Bengal boy.
