Is my cat/kitten a Savannah Cat?
Please post here if you have questions about your cat being a pure Savannah or not. This will keep these questions off of the main thread, and give us all a place to focus on this topic.
Thanks!

Little arla
galleryPicked her up two days ago, she’s a F3! kept her to our bedroom for two days but she’s out in the living room now and made herself at home! Socialising with the kids and constantly grooming me and being up under my chin on my chest when she’s tired!
Any recommendations on harnesses for her size? Want her to get used to them early 😊

He caught and killed his wand toy. So I unclipped it (Da bird wand).
He is so proud.

Question Owning a Savannah in Texas
I've worked with caracals and servals for a couple years now and have absolutely fallen in love with servals. While i would never get a pure bred serval, savannah cats really have my heart.
I live in texas. As the laws currently stand, it defines serval or "any hybrid of such" as a dangerous animal and therefore need a permit to keep...
My question is does 20% serval count as a hybrid? 5%? 1%? I wanted to know if any of yall live in texas and have any insight or experience with this.

Training Arthur's first trip to sculptured gardens in my city
galleryThe mischievous little Arthur is a five-month-old Savannah boy. He's cuddly, affectionate, and incredibly outgoing. He is deeply attached to me and another family member. However, as a true attention seeker, he happily interacts with strangers when I take him for a walk outside, though he does prefer adults to young children and large dogs who terrify him.
He has been on a raw diet since I rehomed him a couple of months ago. In fact, he will barely touch cooked food and completely ignores dry kibble, so I didn't actually need to transition him to raw feeding, which was my initial plan.

Question Does anyone else’s Savannah do this?
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
This is Cecil our 15 year-old F3.
When it’s bedtime, he will get in my face and meow at me and demand attention, and then when I give it to him, he doesn’t want me to pet him. He just wants to groom me aggressively. He’ll start grooming me without end, alternating between licking aggressively and biting. Usually he’s able to control himself and not break skin.
I’ve also learned which parts of my hand I can present to him because if I give him too fleshy a part his instincts kick in and he is more likely to bite seriously. For example, I present my fingers vertically to him instead of horizontally so his jaw can’t fit around my finger and close.
Very occasionally, if I get him overstimulated he’ll bite like he means it I’ve had him bite me and then shake his head.
But this year, I’ve been to urgent care twice because he broke skin accidentally. To be clear these are very small punctures like the most recent time. (and before anyone says it yes I know this sounds like being in an abusive relationship. 😅)
Anyone else else’s cat do something similar?
I assume it’s because he’s an F3 and has much stronger prey drive. But other than being careful how I handle him I haven’t learned any tricks that really help.
Edit: I’m aware this is normal cat behavior, but this is significantly more often and aggressive (not in the mean sense in the enthusiastic sense) than any cat I’ve had in the past.
As in I’m legitimately worried that he will hurt me unintentionally. And I could need stitches.

Have anyone ever wondered how a Savannah x Norwegian forest cat looks like?
Probably not. But anyways, I thought I would share an update since she just turned 6 months old yesterday.
I’ve never had a Savannah cat, and although she isn’t a ‘real’ Savannah there is some things I’ve noticed is different than the domestic cats I’ve had before.
She is very slender with long legs/tail and ears.
She doesn’t have the classic beautiful spotty Savannah coat. She have blue/brown eyes.
She is very smart.
I don’t notice it. But I realise that she is constantly watching what I do, and try to do the same.
For example, if she see that I use a spoon to eat with. and I don’t put it away. She will come to me with it later.
She follows me (mostly) on walks. People is joking that she is a weird looking dog which likes to climb in trees. They also ask what breed she is since they have never seen such a cat before.
She is very brave and curious. She would run up to dogs and people she doesn’t know, because she’s curious of them.
She has endless energy that makes me tired. She loves to run/dig and bite me for hours on end. (Not hard) She have a lot of toys, but gets bored by them so I need new things constantly to keep her entertained.
She definitely doesn’t sleep 17 hours a day.. she sleeps when I sleep, and small naps during the day (if I take her for walks/runs.)
If not, she will endlessly yowl super loudly and climb/explore on everything she possibly can climb on inside.
She ‘meows’ differently and it’s more like yowling. (I’m still wondering if that’s normal?)
I don’t feel like I should leave her alone even though people say cats can be alone for long. I don’t have a feeling this one could. I don’t have a second cat either. She cries loudly when I leave because she wants to come and it just breaks my heart.
She is very clingy and into everything I do, follows me everywhere I go. Have to taste everything I eat. Even if she doesn’t like it and she have food always at her disposal. Although I feel she require a lot more than any cat I’ve ever had, she is the most affectionate, loving, smart cat ever and I love her so much.
I know it’s a long post, but I was wondering what you guys think, what’s your experience having a Savannah? I was curious about what kind of cat she would turn out to be and how much her behaviour would align with the forest cat or Savannah. (Maybe both?)
Luckily I’ve been asking in this forum for advice and you guys have been really helpful.
Also I’m curious if anyone find what I wrote relatable having a real Savannah and knowing what it’s like. Feel free to write a comment about it so I can hear your story. Thank you all again I really appreciate it!

My new baby boy
galleryI just got my savannah f4 yesterday - he is 6 months old.
He seems very shy so far so I am giving him plenty of space and allowing him to adjust on his own time.
Any recommendations for how to help him adjust to his new home would be greatly appreciated!

Question Is this a Savannah cat?
galleryLooking to see if there is any Savannah in this cat. He is around 3-4 years old, about 14 inches tall when standing (measured on the body), 24in long and 16 pounds.
From what I can tell he’s either a very far stage Savannah or just a large tabby.
