What does that mean? Is that a person? How do I get hold of him. Jackson Galaxy?
Jackson Galaxy has a show called "My Cat from Hell" and he helps owners with kitty issues. I would NOT recommend contacting him. He is VERY negative about hybrids in general and basically makes them sound like wild crazy animals that can't live happily in a home.

Agree with DumaLove, Jackson Galaxy is very anti-hybrid and not recommended. Watching his shows though will show you that most issues are general cat issues and anything we ask for advice about with Savannahs has generally been covered on his show with plain domestic shorthairs...

Did you ever see My Cat From Hell? This guy does some amazing things with cats. You can follow him on Facebook. When you email him he actually does get back to you. Who knows, maybe you'll be the next one on the show.

I have discussed the issue of many people thinking he is anti hybrid . From what I gathered is he thinks there cool, but not your average persons feline. Plus I think he feels that when money is spent on any pure bred, be it what ever that another shelter cat gets put down. But regardless, the man knows cats.

The episodes when a Bengal or a Savannah have been featured, all the cat's issues have been blamed on the cat being part-wild (in his opinion not mine), when the very same behavioral traits are shown for other domestic shorthairs and that is normal cat behavior to him.

Savannah Rescue prefers to recommend hybrid-friendly feline behavior therapists like www.thecatcoach.com that understand the energy and interactiveness of these breeds without treating them like wild cats.

Looks like normal play to me. Neither is hurting the other and they know when they are going to far and stop. I would just let them play and have a good time.

Thank you all very much. I am happy to report that you were all right and it just took a little more time (and a little nerve from us to let them continue to play). Atlas and Monfils are now great friends. They have slept together for the past 2 nights now and they are happily sharing the rest of the house with each other during the day. We may have to figure out how to keep the little one from eating all the bigger one's food, but if we need to just separate them at feeding times, I can live with that. Thank you all for your consideration, time, and effort in helping with this matter, as it is truly appreciated.
