Hey, at least he has a place to go for a kitty fix! I cannot imagine people meeting Savannahs and not immediately becoming enamored. Heck- my father-in-law was trying his hardest to convince my MIL that they needed Savannahs during the holidays while they were out here visiting! He was enamored with a little F6 female I have- she was playing and playing with him! And this man has been firmly entrenched in the anti-cat camp for so long, he had his family believing he was totally allergic to cats!

Clayon is so happy playing with Lily! Glad he has a place to go to learn about cats and interact with them. And isn't it good for the cats as well? To learn more socialization? As long as the children are taught how to behave around them?

My SVs are great with my kids, age 4, 10 and 13. I find that the SVs don't startle as easily with loud noises and kid activity. The kids were having a nerf dart war and the Savannah's were flying through the air catching the darts! While the sphynx wants no part of such chaos, lol. I do have a bratty F5(?) (sorry Trish, I keep forgetting what gen Lou and Mojo are, lol) who will smack the kids at random, but she doesn't hurt them and they actually get into slap fights with her. It seems that the SVs are more puppylike and playful.

What a beautiful photo!

I think it is very helpful for anyone with children considering a SV, to see these pics and hear these awesome stories. SV's flying through the air during a nerf dart war would make a great video

I should also mention, they later ate the darts and I spent a week cleaning nerf vomit and had to throw all the darts away!

Well...I guess that didn't work...no nerf dart video

Oh, absolutely! Both kittens and the adult cats and kids really seem to enjoy each other, and it has helped when I have placed kittens in homes with children. Of course, I don't let my grandkids play unsupervised with them, and I always make sure they treat them gently and with respect.
