Hello, I hope it is okay to resurrect his old thread.
I have found three cats for sale, an F3, F4, and F5. All are beautiful, I love each one, and actually not too different in price. I have a lot of questions, and a few worries, so here goes.
My biggest concern is my cat, Cleo. (see pictures) I adopted her from pet smart, and spent the summer getting her over her traumas. She needs a companion badly. She loves to play, and really sounds 'savannah like' in that she races around the house like a crazy thing, is somewhat destructive. I literally run her around the neighborhood on her leash to get rid of her excess energy. There are a colony of strays in the neighborhood. When she sees them, she pulls at her leash tail all fluffed out, and I feel like she wants to 'give them the business'. (I'm guessing they feel free to invade 'her' porch and lawn during the day, and she spends the day in frustration watching them). So she is not shy.
then why did I have bad dreams? I dreamed that the savannah grew up to be a great big cat that bullied her, and I woke up heartbroken and upset.
I really wanted to buy the Savannah as a gift for myself. But I am concerned--I know they have some wild genes. Will the cat be aggressive to my cat? Will Cleo hold her own? Do you think they will bond? or is this just a mis match?
I'm also concerned that the cat will be 'too big' and just not a match for my cat. And yet, I want somewhat big cat, because I still miss my big old jungle cat (see my opening post). I guess some breeders told me it is inappropriate to ask about the size, but I have that concern. If I asked the breeders about the parents, would he be able to give me a rough estimate?
Should I get a big Savannah cat for myself? Or get a cat more like cleo?
