They're beautiful. The articles say they are very intelligent, outgoing and loyal. Wiki-grain-of-salt-pedia says they'll follow you around the house like dogs do.

Of course, you don't need special breeds of cats to get them to follow you around the house, just lots of love. Mine do it all the time.

Staz, I saw a guy at the Sands here in PA make about 18K in an hour on a 100 dollar WOF. Sucked that he had to wait about 10-15 mins each time the hand pay had to be made. Not bad for 1hr work! Maybe you could pay for the cat that way.

Maybe I can trade the wife's cats in on one of them. They  are different.

Some might rather keep the cat.

The articles say they are very intelligent, outgoing ...

With my luck, it would figure out how to get out, and then keep going. 

Beautiful cats though.

They are also supposed to be very inquisitive and good jumpers. You (or Staz) would probably have to cat-proof your home with cabinet locks, etc. 


Here's a fun Wiki-point:

Many Savannah cats do not fear water, and will play or even immerse themselves in water. Some owners even shower with their Savannah cats.^[7] Presenting a water bowl to a Savannah may also prove a challenge, as some will promptly begin to "bat" all the water out of the bowl until it is empty, using their front paws.

Staz, it looks like you're SOL, unless you decide to view Savannahs as you do slot machines.

I have the perfect swimming pool for one of them.

The FAKE cat has gotten bolder in his old age, after years of watching the dominant behavior of the REAL cat.
This makes for some interesting situations, since the 10lb real cat can't stand being "number two," and will shove his way between me and the 18lb fake cat.
I usually end up with a face-full of hair.

Sorry Buzz. That won't work: they're great swimmers and like water.

    YES IT WILL
