what to you think about these savannah presumptions that people told me ?

[Kimmyqitty]

Kim- what's the case of 'Savannah gone wild' that you've heard? I bet that myth can be debunked right here.

Was just using that phrase, cause I have seen several videos and news reports on you tube debateting the Savannah breed. That's all. Granted they were a few years ago, been looking for new reports about the breed but haven't seen any resent reports.

 

[Kimmyqitty]

And yes, they can be debunked.

I'm a new Savannah owner too. Having had other "domestic" cats throughout the years, I can say that our F2 is every bit, if not more, loving than the others. He loves human contact, and that it exactly what we were looking for. All cats are curious and like to hunt. As Trish said, keep your pet hamsters, and other small pets well secured. That's common sense with any cat. I've been scratched by dogs that get overly excited during play; especially from the high energy Boston Terrier.

I am really just trying to point out that some people do not agree with high breed animals. They think the wild side of the high breed will emerge and put their families at risk. So not true.

Oh, you'll see current ones then too- it's something we fight as a community- the silly misconceptions presented by- who? That's a good question. Typically, it's not a Savannah owner- and the few times it is an owner, it's an owner who jumped the gun and bought a poorly socialized kitty from a breeder most wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole. (IE- if someone says ALL Savannahs are grumpy, mean cats, and OWNS a Savannah- they are painting the whole breed with one big old brush stroke that doesn't truly represent the breed at all).

I think this is why I'm VERY vocal about my girls' and their personalities. Well, my boys too... For the occasional person saying their cat isn't friendly- I want countless others to chime in and say, "Well, MY cat(s) are very friendly!".

 

[Kimmyqitty]

Yes. Like any creature or even human being in this world, everything hinges on their upbringing and care as to how their personality will be.

? I bought a water fountain for the babies. It has a filter in it, but our water out here in Nevada is so harsh, I have always given my past kitties bottled water. Was wondering if it could be a good idea to use distilled as apposed to bottled?

Good question- and I think it'd make a great new thread But anyways, I'd say either would be appropriate for your babies.

 

[Kimmyqitty]

Ok I would have put the ? On a "thread" but don't know how

 

[Kimmyqitty]

Getting back to subject. "Good thing to know". Sometimes when an animal acts out aggressively or out of character, it could mean there is an underlining health issue. My sister had a cat some years ago that became vicious if anyone came near, she was taken to the vet and had found out that her little overies were riddled with cysts. She was in a lot of pain. So, there could be a variation of reasons for any animal to act out, including health issues. Keep this in mind.
