F-1 Savannah Cat Defends His Rat

[quizmo1000]

That cat is a BOSS!!

[yellowwheelcar]

0:52 how ironic!

[Invisiblepanda]

lol watch the cat rip the dogs head off

[zucchiniesinbikinies]

It would be cruel to keep it locked up inside a house - it's an animal not an ornament!

[hakkujin]

That's a lot of money to spend on a cat that you have outside. What are the odds that the car that invariably runs it over will be worth less than the cat?

[xoronniox]

i love savannah cats and im trying to figure out the system of F1 and F2 and so on care to explain?

[SchizoidAndroid]

An f1 savannah is a cross between an african serval and a domestic cat . An f2 is a cross between an f1 savannah and a domestic cat, and so on. It's the same with bengal cats, except with an asian leopard cat instead of the serval.

[xoronniox]

are F1s more expensive then say F3s?

[SchizoidAndroid]

yes, they are - they are also typically harder to keep as pets because they are more like a wild animal than a typical cat. i've heard people say that f1s and f2s typically aren't as good of pets for that reason, though it depends on what traits the individual owner finds more desireable, like wildness vs. tameness. f1s are often fed more expensive raw/canned food rather than dry catfood, which can get expensive.

Your savannah is gorgeous. I actually have a ridgeback, about six years old, I was wondering if you think it's a good idea to get a savannah? and if so what generation. And do you know the pricing?

[RTbar]

It depends on your dog's personality, because some Ridgebacks are really prey driven, but if you get it young and let them bond they would probably do great... In fact I saw a story about a pack of Ridgebacks who accepted a Serval kitten into their pack

[RTbar]

As for which generation, I can only speak for F-1s, and mine doesn't like to be held, but he is very playful and athletic, and he does retain a lot of the Serval characteristics like chirping and pouncing, playing in water ect. Might be a good match for the Ridgeback if they are raised together.

[shezjackson]

These's are just so amazing cats really are and rare, thanks so much for your vids, im gonna settle with a f3 female kitten, here in england they are very limited to buy there is only 1 pure serval in scotland and im hoping to buy my f3 from there.

[drfostersmith]

its cool how the cat runs the show here. is he like this inside also or just when he gets his "live" meals.

[RTbar]

he is like this inside too, but the three dogs team up on him a lot. He is always battling with my ridgeback.

[shezjackson]

Would you save that this type of cat would be save around kids?

[RTbar]

I think it would be okay around kids. If it was your family it would probably be bonded with them, and if it was some other kids it would probably run and hide. It would only work if the kids respected the cat and didn't try to pick it up or pester it, so maybe not with very young children. I know not to try to pick him or or do certain things without expecting a punch to the face. He won't use claws with me if he ever does swat though.

[lisole]

That was great, just wish you would have gotten the swipe from kittty. nice bengal by the way.

[RTbar]

Thanks, the bengal has golden sparking tips in the sun, but it's hard to capture on film.

[Noobie250r]

is he declawed

[RTbar]

nope

[Shelbell99]

So are they supposed to eat stuff like that. Like do you have to go to the pet store and get the rats for him. Or can you get cat food and he'll eat it just fine. I have my own cats they are all domesticated completely. When I'm older I want either a Bengal cat or the rather larger cat that was eating the rat in the video. I haven't done my reasearch yet but are they just like any other cat? I'm curious because when I'm older I don't want to bring a wild animal into my home. Pixiebobs r cute 2

[RTbar]

you can get cat food, I feed Evo kibble and instinct chicken cans sometimes, most of the time he eats raw meat, geckos or feeder mice. But they will eat cat food just fine, although they may need extra calcium if you aren't feeding raw bones, so a supplement like Mazuri would be good. They are not just like any other cat. They will want a lot of attention from you, they act more like dogs in that they want to be near you, whereas some cats are ok with an occasional petting.

[Shelbell99]

Thanks! that helps me alot. Have you heard of the breed Pixiebob that's the breed I want the most do you know anything about them?

[vaccumme]

Wow!! What a beautifull Cat!! I hear that they are rather expensive??

[twilightteevee]

i like the bit at the beginning when the larger dog tries to sneak up behind the savanna, and when the savanna looks around the dog sprints off lol

them dogs are cute too, what breed is the other cat in this footage?

[RTbar]

thanks, hes a Bengal

[adalstan]

lmao that dog has no idea what hes fuckin with wild blood vs domesticated small animals lol

[howardcv]

Funny and cute. I'm thinking about getting a savannah cat.

[gunju221]

"Gunju221"

[jgallo712]

gosh loook at his markings on his ears woaaa just like a cerval..i cant believe he just chills out side does he ever run away, did his spots/markings darken in through time, id really like to know thanks

[RTbar]

I ussually put a harness on him, I think it's called Size Right or something like that... his spots didn't darken, but they did separate as he grew older and each spot became more disctinct instead of a mash up of black

[jgallo712]

is he what the call (black spotted tabby)bst

[RTbar]

what do you mean?

[kipluck]

Those little dogs better not take on a Savannah and his prey!!!

(someday I would LOVE an F-1! *sigh*)

[jgallo712]

i wanna let my cat out side but id think shed run off

[NightKing3000]

those stupid dogs don't know who are they dealing with.

[daghouche]

even the bengal sent them dogs runnin

[killphilvol1]

Man the more I watch videos about them I want one more and more. Dogs were gettin owned by the cats.
