Fantastic! I'm very appreciative that she would take the time to do this!!

Would she be getting a separate forum area for the Q&A during that time?

Yes, she will...I will put it up the night before, keep it locked until May 1. Sorry, I missed that part of your question.

Last Monday I took our 2 Savannah's cats to the Vet to get their claws trimmed and a look over from the Vet, I put our male cat in a large carrier and when I put our female in the carrier she went after the male cat, I got her into a second carrier, we always used one large carrier for both cats but lately our female hisses and slaps at our male if he gets to close to her, I was going to ask the Vet about the female cat but she had 2 new assistants and they never heard of a Savannah and when they saw the first cat I couldn't get a word in, both cats are under 2 years old and F3's and the females aggression at the male savannah just started recently, we have a male American shorthair and she is fine with him. Anyone else have this problem ?

It is not uncommon for cats that are stressed to lash out at whatever is closest to them, so by shutting in the one crate you can indeed see that happen. Much better to have one crate for each cat to prevent that.

It is hard to say without seeing the cats interact but you may find that your male SV is getting to adulthood and getting a little dominant hence the female is feeling the need to put him in his place. She probably wants to be queen and he needs to respect her. your male American SH probably doesn't push her and hence all is well...
