Cat Breed of the Week: Savannah

The Savannah is a smaller version of the African serval, weighing in at around 20 pounds, as opposed to 40 with its ancestor. Sort of a "half-pint" version, if you will.

The Savannah is said to make an excellent companion, sociable with other pets, and always willing to greet their owners with friendly "head-bumps." Their long legs and athletic grace will often find them in high places, (more convenient for head-bumps), and like the serval, they love to play in water.

It's no wonder that these cats have so quickly attained popularity, both as family members and in the show ring.
