Before You Buy That Savannah Cats Nebraska

By Larry Perry


Many people in the world today would choose a pet if they could, and some will even choose a pet that not so usual and regular. This latter group of people will sometimes choose snakes and other wild animals, like semi wild cats, which Savannah cats Nebraska owners have done. Should you also be interested in this particular semi wild cat as a possible pet, then do read on in this article for more information.

Before you take on the savannah you must truly be a cat owner and a cat lover who understands and is knowledgeable in all feline quirks and dispositions. The savannah, although being partly wild, is a cat at heart, will be used to getting what it wants regardless of what you say or do. And since it is one of the biggest, if not the biggest domestic cat breed, it will be very easy for it to lord it over you. Do not take on this cat if you have no experience with felines whatsoever.

The breed is basically a hybrid cat and first came about in 1986 when an African serval, a wild cat which lives in the African savannah, was crossbred with a domestic cat in the United States. The result was a cat that looks like a small leopard also as mentioned, one of the largest domestic cats known to man. It can stand anywhere from 13 to 17 inches depending on its generation, and looks much larger than a regular small sized dog.

The cat is a very agile one and naturally wants to be active all of the time. You therefore need a fair amount of space for space for it and it is inadvisable to keep it if you are living in the city. An ideal place for you to keep it is if you have a small place in the country or farm where you can make an outdoor enclosure of some sort.

Twenty thousand dollars is something that you should be willing to let go of to buy one kitten. They are by no means cheap and this is because they are in a limited supply. This is because they are hard to breed and thus breeding pools remain small. In addition they are also declared as illegal to own in the states of Massachusetts, New York, Hawaii and Georgia, which adds to the price and appeal somewhat.

It is a breed that is long legged, and the legs it has is also quite powerful. It can help the cat jump upwards seven feet from a standing jump. The only other cat that has impressive jumping abilities in relation to its size is the Bengal, which is another wild cat hybrid.

When getting this cat as a pet you do not have to worry too much about it health, as it is fairly robust. But you do have to remember that it is still fairly wild and so you must include a bit or raw meat in its diet from time to time. You can ask other owners or even breeders as to the right amount.

In sum this article has shown you some information for you to mull over and think about in terms of preparation if you want to get this breed or not. Remember that to be a good pet owner means to know as much as possible about the pet that you have an eye on.
