First post... Here's Charlie... F3 Savannah

[John Popp]

Sure thing RD! I have a deposit in with them and no requirements on the wrapper, just a confident kitten that looks like he is the first of his littermates to greet humans and looks as if he'll live life with his tail on fire. I even have a name picked out for him, "Nifty" although I'm a firm believer that a kitten needs to earn their name as I'm sure Mayhem did.

(hijack thread mode on) It turned out to be serendipity for us. We liked Rascal's character sooo much, we asked for a full brother. Just so happened mom was pregnant by Comando at the time of the inquiry. Then one day in London England, we got a newborn picture in the email. Made our trip! Mayhem is not exactly a copy of his brother, but of all the cats, his tail is on fire! (hijack thread mode off)

I love that look on Charlie! I see it in Mayhem!

Charlie has just the right amount of an innocence look to make you believe that it was truly an accident that a pound of shrimp was pulled from the freezer and was thawing on the sofa.

Thanks everyone... And I have Holly and Dale to thank for Charlie as well. What an amazing place they have.
Hey, does anyone know if a twelve week old, five pounder is small, large or about average for an F3? I'm hoping he grows up to be huge! We also have four DSHs rescued from the shelter, all two years old, and Charlie eats more than all of them.

Charlie looks like a little devil in the making. I agree with John, all innocence on the surface but fire & brimstone underneath. Just the way I like 'em.

Chongo, an F3 from the same breeder has grown just a little shy of 2lbs month and is now near 14 lbs as the clock turns to his 8th month. I wish he would actually slow down and eat sometime as he is rail thin with little draw to food.

Please post the Sire and Dam so there is an idea of what their offspring will look like as well as their demeanor. From others here and my experiences I know a fair amount of how kittens Commando has sired turn out, just always good to know the story with the rest. Of course no two are the same, just a framework and making sure to make best efforts in getting a kitten that fits the rest of our pride.

Malia and Rose are from Holly and Dale too. I just love them and all that they do!

Kaiser, Oh WOW!!! Seriously, when I looked at picture #2, I was "this is spooky, I have seen that look before." Would you mind telling us who the parents are? John and I have brothers from Select.
I have seen small and large from Select. Five pounds at 3 months seems large to me, but you can never tell. Rascal looks quite large, because he is tall and long, but he is thin, and is around 12 pounds. My son has a moose in the 20 pound range but that cat is built like a linebacker. (all F3's in the boys). Rascal is 3 now, and I swear I have seen him fill out in the last few months. He might hit 15 pounds if he slows down, which I doubt. Lately he is eating everything in sight. Mayhem doesn't fancy food very much and has the highest energy of the bunch. He is a little over 10 pounds.
Hang in there. In a few months you won't care what size Charlie is, you will love him for who he is. (and then Dale and Holly get a phone call inquiring about a future acquisition.... BTDT!)
