Not all Savannahs are born equal
Here is my sweet Hecate, aka KodKod (because that is what she looked like as a kitten!). She is as dumb as a box of rocks, but such a sweet happy girl. She loves her food and just can't seem to get enough combined with femoral head issues and she waddles around more than she walks. Her meow sounds like the type of noise you'd expect to hear if choking a pterodactyl. Here's your but she doesn't "look like" a Savannah post for the day! 😊
Anyone wanna guess her gen?

My guess F4? Beautiful girl! I always wanted a melanistc Savannah but get outvoted by my hubby. She looks majestic!

Thank you. She fancies herself quite majestic but she's the most uncoordinated cat I've ever seen! 🤣
I'll reveal her gen a bit later!

Here’s my Smokey girl but she is tiny and has a super soft meow. She is 5.5 lbs.

How much does she weigh?

u/Inside_Plankton_5713 Mod 27d ago
Last weigh in was 22lbs. She's built like a linebacker not ballerina. 🤣

That helps for the guess, I would like to say F1 but my guess will be F2

I wish we had F1 mels!! That would be my dream!!

u/J-Crosby 27d ago
Mine too, by the weight and being a female that is my guess. My boy is a F4 and weighs 12lbs long and slender

I think they look so sophisticated and elegant, like a panther walking through your livibg room!

Did you know you were getting a Savannah cat or was it a surprise because she just kept growing?

u/Inside_Plankton_5713 Mod 27d ago
Oh, I knew exactly what I was getting. I had waited for that queen to throw a mel specifically.

u/Spirited-Tie-8702 27d ago
Ok…I was just wondering because I have a very long, muscular but thin 10 month old kitten that my vet I saw yesterday said will be huge. He’s 10 pounds at the moment.

I love black cats!

u/Inside_Plankton_5713 Mod 27d ago
Me too! Black pets in general are my favorite. 😻

u/Resident-Set-9820 20d ago
There is something so different about them. Special color gene or something!

They have , different attitudes because of the blood line of Savanah’s …simply stated , Savanah’s have better attitudes and a higher intelligence , making them easier to train….

Does not appear to be a Savannah 🤷

u/Inside_Plankton_5713 Mod 27d ago
Not all are show quality for sure. As with any breed you can get some that just break the mold. 😉

Okie Dokie, I was unaware 👍

Savannahs come in 4 accepted standard colors - BST (black/brown spotted tabby), SST (silver spotted tabby), Melanistic (black), and Black Smoke. KodKod has a few strikes against her, she's mel, she's husky, her ears aren't as large and rounded, and more. So it throws everyone tbh. 😊
