Savannah Super Cat
Hi,
I'm new to this site and quite frankly I'm new to the whole Savannah experience. I don't mind saying it has been quite the experience thus far.
I have a female that is somewhere between 2 1/2-3yrs old. I was told by breeders, with whom I've interacted online, that she is either an F6 or F7.
I bought her from a woman that didnt have official papers on her so I'm not certain. I didn't know much about the breed when I got her 6 months ago. I simply wanted an indoor cat, with a interesting look and lively personality. Well I definitely got that. LOL
I hadn't owned a pet for over a decade and was not prepared for the ball-fetching, chatterbox that is ALWAYS in my business and makes no bones about it. As I write this posting, she is over my shoulder screaming in my ear and I wouldn't trade her for the world. She's awesome and I love her. So much so that I want to bring in one more as a companion for her. I believe she would be more content to have a playmate when I do go to work and even when I'm home. I've been home for three weeks due to surgery and even though she's had most of my attention it doesn't seem enough. Not to mention she's too smart for alot of her toys and gets bored easily. ;-)
After reading alot of material on how to intergrate a new cat/kitten into my home the only thing that I'm sure of is that the new cat should be younger to make the process go smoother. Other than that the conflicting information about which gender to choose and the introduction process when living in an apartment setting is all over the place. I definitely have room for two cats. i live alone in a 2 bedroom apartment. But, it's still not a house with a spare rooms to acclimate them for two weeks. Not to mention it's just me. Dividing my time so both get what they need in two different parts of an apartment is going to get tricky.
I would greatly appreciate any advice or tips on these two matters that I can get. Sorry for the long message. I am simply happy that there is a site dedicated to this breed and I may finally gets some useful information to make the right choices for both Nikita and myself.
Happy posting!
