Being that they are both F1 males, do they spray around the house? I've been facinated with these cats for years and just wondered if they would stink up the house.

[SavannahsRUs]

Nope. No spraying. One doesn't like to use his litter box all that much but that's pretty rare with F1s.

are f1 hard to take care of cause i might get a savanna cat in a couple month?

[SavannahsRUs]

They're very active. That's about it. They tend to knock stuff over and break them. Anything like that I have in storage.

was there a baby present or was that noise toward the end coming from them! very cool

a real question though: what do the numbers following the "F" represent?

[SavannahsRUs]

That was Sequoya. Both my Savannahs sound like human babies but Sequoya is mostly mute.

F1 stands for either foundation or familial.

It designates how many generations removed from the Serval the Savannah kitten/cat is.

F1 indicates that the Savannah has a Serval father.

F2 indicates that the Savannah has a Serval grandfather...and so on...

[gtq838]

f1 = 50% serval (sometimes 75%)

f2 = 25% serval (sometimes 37.5%)

f3 = 12.5% serval

f4 = 6.25% serval

it means how many generations removed from the serval line it is.

f1s can cost as much as $5000 but can be had as recue kittens with less than perfect coats for $300-500

f2s are about $1500 - $2000, unless you find a rescue kitten

f3s and lower can be had for around $500 or less

Those were the prices when I was shopping for them about 2 years ago

wtf that would be crule to declaw a savanna cat.

[79barkingspider]

I'm a huge supporter of shelter cat adoptions (in fact I did six of them on Thursday!), but I see nothing wrong with breeding rare, beautiful cats that will always have a home. Hell, even if they get out and make it with a traveling salesman, the kittens will be gorgeous. I have heard that Savannahs quickly get lonely. They need constant attention and exercise. A companion sounds like a great idea. Better have lots of time on your hands if you get one of these!

'I got my paws in your face.'

[metalgearDavid]

I would buy an f1 for a house pet if these greedy breeders would lower their price.What a rip off. Go buy a serval, for $3,900 from John Babb ( ValleStable-Exotics) and get yourself a Bengal for $ 900.00 and make your own F1 Cat. these greedy breeders can kiss my ass!!

As far as the pricing goes, I got this off of a very reputable breeders website. Males: F1 $7,500-$22,000 F2 $4,500-$16,000 F3 $3,000-$6,000 F4 $1,200-$3,000 F5 $950-$6,000 SBT $950-$6,000 Females: F1 $6000-$22,000 F2 $4,500-$14,000 F3 $3,500-$5,500 F4 $1,200-$4,500 F5 $950-$3,000 SBT $950-$3,000 The males F4 and earlier are sterile and can only be sold as pets. All of the females can reproduce though. The SBTs are the only ones recognized by the TICA.

SavannahsRUs:

OK, I'm asking for it. But as a cat lover, I doubt that a half-wild tomcat wouldn't spray every La-Z-Boy that he could sink his claws into.

I'm enchanted by Savannahs, according to these few videos that I've seen. If not for the issue of unwanted strays, I'd buy one tomorrow if I could afford to!

But to suggest that these creatures are more or less natrurally housebroken is to say that they are tamer than your average alleycat. C'mon!
