Rate of Growth

There are many pics of him in F2 savannahs, but here is one anyway.... View attachment 6670

WOW. That is a huge cat!

That is just a ridiculously handsome and giant SV. I think I need to check out your albums - do you have an outdoor run at all or enough romping room inside?

I have a small 2-story house, but they do a lot of running up and down the stairs and up and down the cat trees. I also let them out into my fenced back yard to run around.

We weighed our cats for the first time ever at home. Titan's about 15lbs at almost 1 year old. His sister is only 2-3 lbs lighter but he looks significantly bigger than her. Both F3s.

Have no idea if they'll continue to grow or if this is their adult size but they still have their adorable kitten faces.

I'm wondering because I think my SV came from the same cattery (Amanukatz). I think one of Nitro's pictures is on her website.

Yep, that's where I got him from. It was really hard for Connie to let go of him, but somehow she knew I would be a good fit. I still send her pictures about once a month with an update to his size.

Edit: Found two pictures of him on the website. Both are pretty old.

Very cool that you measure Nitro and do it so thoroughly. The tough measurement for me are the length measurements! Shango never wants to sit still . Seems like SV's grow at about 0.5 lb/week as kittens...

 

[Nitro]

Oh, he certainly doesn't want to stay still. But I feel the need to measure him, especially his tail, because there's a chance it could become a record. Well, wishful thinking on my part.

That's great. It's kind of fun to see length measurements posted like yours. I don't view SV's as these heavy cats, but rather nice long and lengthy cats.

The longest recorded cat is Stewie at 48 1/2 inches, who sadly passed away earlier this week from cancer :-(

Actually, the Savannah should be a TALL cat not necessarily a long cat. It really does make sense that the world's longest cat is a Maine Coon and the world's tallest cat is a Savannah if you read their breed standards...

My SV is an F3 from Amanukatz as well. She was born Sept 20 and she is growing like a weed. I am thinking she is going to be quite big.
