Wow, what a cutie! I'm so glad I found a place with people who also have a Savannah! My baby is actually named "Baby." I did not pick that name, she did! The night my friend and I brought her home from the airport, we were discussing her and what I should name her. We kept saying saying things like, "What about calling the baby this or that ..." After about 20 minutes we started noticing that whenever one of us said the word "Baby," this adorable little kitten would run over to that person and jump up in her lap! That was four years ago and to this day whenever someone says the word "Baby," she stills comes running and jumps in the person's lap. So, she picked her own name! After having Baby in my life, I will never own another type of cat. her vet says she's half dog, half human, in a cat body! He then said his next cat was going to be a Savannah! After her third visit to her vet, I noticed that whenever I went to pick her up from that vet's office Baby was always sitting on the counter to the reception desk when I got there. I finally told the receptionist that I thought it was very nice of the staff to have our pets already at the desk when we came to pick them up. The woman laughed at me and told me that Baby was the only patient allowed on the front desk! Seems the staff had become as attached to her as I had, so if Baby had to stay at the vet's office the staff kept her with them at their desk! I can not say enough good things about these cats! My Baby has literally saved my life half a dozen times. I am a diabetic. My problem with that is that even if I eat some kind of protein just before going to sleep, my blood sugar has a bothersome problem of sometimes dropping into coma numbers within two or three hours of me falling asleep! Baby has decided that is not acceptable. She makes it her business to wake me up! She will go across the room, kitty corner to where I'm sleeping, climb up onto a rather high window ledge, and then jump into the air and fly across the room landing on my chest! She continues jumping on me until I wake up! I told my doctor what she had done. He listened, held up a finger and told me he'd be right back. He returned five minutes later and handed me a piece of paper and told me to have that paper and Baby with me whenever I left home. It was a statement declaring that Baby is a "service animal" required to keep me alive! Even when I am at home she rarely goes more than 8 to 12 feet away from me. She is the sweetest, most gentle feline I have ever met in my 74 years on this earth. I also remember to thank God every morning and night for creating her! To me, she's an angel that just happens to prefer to wear

Would love to see some pics of Baby!

I hope you're incorrect! I don't get facebook! I'm 74 years old, and believe me when I tell you, I'm lucky if I can turn my tablet on! My kids won't even let me near their computers! The only time they did it cost them $$$'s to get a repair person to fix it!
You sound like me, I don't do facebook or any other kind of social media, however I seemed to have gotten the hang of navigating my way round Savannahcatchat , it's a wonderful place with like minded people.
Baby sounds absolutely adorable and seems to be worth her weight in gold, what a clever girl she is. Whatever would we do without them :)

Bella is still being a grumpy lady. She is even hissing as Xander right now.

So last night I put pan is the bathroom for the night and was going to bed.
I could not find Xander and so I called him. He answered back and I found
him in the bathroom with Pan. I opened the door and called him out and he
decided to stay and spend the night with Pan.

So I think Xander and Pan are becoming well adjusted to each other.

Sounds like Xander is enjoying having another boy in the house, I'm sure Bella will come round, perhaps she's a little jealous of pan for getting Xanders attention, have you tried the scent transferal method, witch advised this when Vito and Franco were having major friction. It did actually help in their case, I'm not sure how to quote a post here but if you read the thread "meet Franco " you'll see a few different things we tried.

I think is won't take too long before they are all sleeping together.
Last night they were all in my room and I had the toy that is on a string
out and they all three were playing and Bella was not making any noise.

She also goes into the bathroom Pan is living in when he is out and
snoops around.

I have used the method I am using with the last 5 introductions.
I have made some small changes over time and circumstances.
I have even used it with cats coming into the house when I had
not had a can in the house in a while.

There were two times the picked me and I did not have to do anything.
But that is rare thing.

Look who followed me home tonight.

She is related to Pan. Somewhere in the cousin line of things. She is an F2.
Did not take much for Pan to be in with her to help keep her quiet for the night.
She is nearing the 6 months point and will be going in to get fixed. Pan will
also be making that trip to get snipped soon also.

Name wise I am thinking Greek Goddess names. Atriums sounds too male even
though it is a female name. She was Goddess of the hunt from what I can find
on the name. Athena also comes in on my top name list.
