First Week

Picked her up on Monday afternoon and so far, so good. The only time she complains is when when she can't see me. She is very much a people oriented cat.

8 weeks

Zuri moved into a home setting a few weeks ago and has been switched over to solid food. She is doing so well that she may be ready to pick-up next week!

Last time we met she could not stay awake, but she was all kitten today. This was the only photo I could get of her holding still.

Five & a Half Weeks Old.

With the holidays past, I made another visit to see Zuri. She had a little bit of cat litter in here eye, but we flushed it out and the breeder gave her some anti-biotic.

I'm not winking at you!

Starting next week, Zuri will say goodbye to her mom and move into a home where she will start eating solid food and get used to living around people and other pets. She is already very people-friendly and on this visit, there was no keeping her awake.

What's a Savannah Cat?

A Savannah Cat is a cross between a domestic cat and a Serval. A Serval is a medium-sized, large-eared cat that is native to the savannah habitats in Africa.

Serval in Africa

The unusual cross became popular among breeders at the end of the 90's, and in 2001 the International Cat Association accepted it as a new registered breed. In May 2012, TICA accepted it as a championship breed. Savannahs are much more social than typical domestic cats, and they are often compared to dogs in their loyalty. They can be trained to walk on a leash and even taught to play fetch.

Zuri is an F3 C

- F3 designates that she is three generations from the Serval, meaning her great-grandfathers were Servals

- C designates that she is the result of breeding two registered "B" Sahannahs. This means that bother here parents and grandparents were registered Savannahs.
