What is a savannah cat?

Perhaps, over and above size, is the extraordinary Savannah cat personality. Bright, inventive, intelligent, even ingenious, playful, charming, and intensely energetic, the personable Savannah cat is very dog-like. Readily trainable, most love to play fetch, ride in cars, and relish outdoor walks on a leash. Actually a Savannah can be very much like a water-loving dog who’ll wrestle you for the garden hose, splash around in your morning shower, or wade through your bathwater. And their ability to leap straight up into the air is awesome.

Because Savannahs have so much energy they usually tend to tire out other pets, quickly looking for a new playmate or other form of entertainment. Savannahs cohabitate well with other pets and assume the roll of Alpha cat without much of a challenge from other family cats. Many ask if a Savannah cat will get along well with the family dog; the answer is YES! Dogs make wonderful playmates for the Savannah. Because of their intelligence and energy level it seems Savannahs would rather befriend the family dog before other pets.
