My grandma recently sent me a newspaper clipping of a kitty breed I'd never heard of before. It's called the Savanah cat. It is a cross between a Serval & a domestic house cat.
I accidentally threw away the clipping, but I looked up the breed online...
"Savannah cats are an extremely loyal and people-orientated cat breed. They enjoy games of
fetch (much like a dog) and are easy to train to walk on a leash."
I was very interested in the behavior...after all, as fun as it would be to own a baby cheetah, it would grow up & could be unpredictable.
"If the Savannah is properly socialized, they will quickly take to new people and other pets. Some Savannahs have been known to head-butt people or even pounce on people as a greeting.
"Savannahs are very intelligent, curious and love to jump. A Savannah can jump up to 7 feet high from a standing position, and you will probably find the cat on top of cupboards, doors and refrigerators. This cat breed is not afraid of water at all. The Savannah will play or immerse themselves in water.
"Savannahs like to “talk” to their owners or other pets with a mixture of chirping and meowing sounds. Don’t expect the Savannah to be a lap cat or a cat that can sit still for long periods of time. They need regular interaction and exercise, and games that involve running and jumping are much appreciated."

The colorings depend on the domestic cat its bred with.
It's funny...the colorings of most of them look like Wiggles when he was a kitten & his markings were very pronounced. But that would make sense, because some of the domestic breeds they use are Egyptian Mau (which is what 
Wiggles is part).
Wiggles is part). Now, I'm not saying you should go adopt one!! I just thought it was interesting... Let me know what you think of this new breed...or what you think of cross breeding...
