Savannah Weights

Rafiki

Oh my. We just got back from the vet. Rafiki is weighing in at 19 lbs, 1 oz. (F3 5yo female).

The vet said that she is a bit chubby but nothing to be concerned about and that her ideal weight should be about 18 lbs. I sometimes wonder how much her liver issues at age 2 affected her ... she had her last growth spurts so much later than other SVs (the last height/length growth spurt was just before 3 years old) ... but she seems to have completely caught up.

18 Lb would put her the same weight as Bella and she just turned 7 in February this year.
I used to have a 24 Lb Himalayan but she was small compared to an 18 Lb Savannah.

She was a large cat and a bit on the fat side. I think at 18 the vet would of been happy.
I also there was a lot of Ragdoll in the mix.

I'd like to start collecting some data on generational weights of Savannahs. [...]

Do you have a live link somewhere to a google drive file or something similar? I would love to check out the data you've collected so far! I tried searching the posts but couldn't find a document. I would add to it but my little Sagira is only 15 months right now.

My twin F2's weighed in at 16 lbs. yesterday. They are 3.5 years old and likely fully grown. They don't like the vet visit, and Tinkerbell was hissy and scared the vet. I had to pull her out of the carrier, while she was snarling, I just wrapped her in a hug and said on Tink I love you, settle down. Think the vet was amazed that she didn't attack me, heck, I know my cats, and know what I can or can't get away with. Poor Tink was all upset, tongue hanging out, and drooling. She just needed some loving and touching. Poor Rufio is always upset when going to the vet, he has a slight heart murmur whenever we are there.
