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.

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.
