Meet Petra

[ScottKelly911]

First let me say congratulations on becoming a proud new SV parent (I don't really like the word owner as they're not property, not to mention, they own us more than we own them anyway lol). Petra's gorgeous! I too am an F3 owner and I have to say, they're so much fun and amazing kitties! What breeder did you get her from?

OMG, one thing that I LOVE about SV's and I even thought about starting a thread about it since the ocelli thread went over pretty well, is that our kitties often have some really funny unique markings beyond just their spots. Sometimes it's how they're arranged that form something like a "5" or a figure 8 or other misc. funny things. Or sometimes it's the actual shape of one or more of their spots and I just noticed Petra has a "Dogbone" on her side in this picture! I love it!

My Shelby has a spot that looks kinda like Mickey Mouse ears hehehe

Welcome and congratulations! That is one long and elegant girl.

Thank you! We got her from Holly and Dale at Select Exotics. We had to wait an additional week from the originally scheduled date since it was too cold here to fly her that day. They were great to work with and kept us informed during the whole thing.

I hadn't noticed that yet! When I get back home after work today I'm definitely looking on her coat for more unique markings! She usually moves around so much it's hard to get a good look!

That third picture.... OMG looks VERY familiar to me. Mayhem and Rascal are from Select. (I wondered if that is where the kitten was from!) Hey, John Popp, that look familiar to you, too?

She looks more innocent than the monkey I have.

Hi everyone!
My husband and I just got our girl Friday February 8 and have been loving every minute! She is a 6 month old F3 named Petra. She is our only pet and I'm sure is loving all the attention she is getting. Her personality has really come through and I think her favorite game so far is jumping out at our feet from under the bed in the morning! I already enjoy reading all the great advice everyone has on here and will come back often!

Congratulations on your new baby, and welcome to the world of Savannahs!

That's 'cause she's a female and we have boys!
Hang in there, we should hear a story from BisonTriad soon enough!
