Savannah Super Cat
So I am new to this forum and I made a long intro the other day in intros if you want to know more about me besides what I put here…. But I am interested in adding a savannah to my little family one day soon and would LOVE some advice… Because I am sort of lost. I know A LOT about bengals and EG bengals and I know savannahs are a lot like bengals.. But I am still not entirely sure what way to go about what generation of savannah or if I should get male or female? Would a earlier generation or an SBT work better? Or would it not matter?
I knew to stay away from EG bengals because they do not fit my lifestyle, like not using the litter box faithfully or not handling change well at all. So that's why I went with an SBT bengal knowing they adapt to change much easier and being a senior in college I knew I would be going different places. My bengal is a year old and goes everywhere with me, I love being active with my fur kids like going on walks and such. If I go stay the night at my boyfriends family both him and my dog goes with, and they love it. Also he will even go to many classes with me (animal science major) and loves that too.
So I would love to add a savannah to my little family to be a feline buddy to my bengal but also my dog is obsessed (in a good way) with cats.. She always wants to play with the bengal but eventually the bengal gets tired of it, I personally think I have a pretty lazy bengal. So I think an active savannah would be a good fit for both of my babies. I should also mention my bengal and dog play pretty rough together, it never escalates too far but just gets a little rough.
Soooo after all of that I would really like to know if a male or female would be best and what generation do you think would work best for us or what should we stay away from? Like Do EG savannahs handle change well? Do they like meeting new people and being in new situations? Are they faithful going in a litter box? I know a lot of it has to do with socialization, which it would get a lot of but I didn't know if owners or breeders here would have any good recommendations. And I want to provide an amazing home for one of these amazing cats but don't want to add one that wouldn't be happy with my lifestyle. Any advice is welcome!!
