So, don't get your hopes up too high!
Kindlekitten...I'd never heard of this breed...OMG!!! That is one impressive beastie!!! My little Lily maybe weighs 6 Lbs (Our cat), and my Molly (longhaired Chihuahua) weighs 4-1/2 Lbs. All I got is 'WOW'
|
which is really ironic, because one of the reasons they are so expensive is due to the problems with breeding them. oh well. yeah at 6 mos. he is 5lbs

Especially if they go for walks. Our daughter takes her cat for walks all time - it is an exercise in patience at best. |
if you google images for the Savannah cat, you'll see many pics of them being walked. in many ways they really are dog like, and this is one of them. they are also swimmers!

I got a deal since his original "mommy" had to back out of her purchase. yeah, they are spendy. especially when you aren't used to paying for cats... dogs, yes, but this is the first cat purchase
