Some cats look like they came straight out of the jungle. They’re the kind of cats you’d expect to see in a Disney<\/a> movie or a nature documentary, not sitting on someone’s cat tree!<\/p>\n

For example, this Savannah cat. That’s a small cheetah! There’s just no way he’s a cat… And then his Maine Coon brother shows up, and somehow, he looks like a kitten. This is wild:<\/p>\n

I don’t know how the people at Wild Mane Maine Coons<\/a> can sleep at night. Those cats all look like they could take down anyone if they wanted to! Of course, knowing Maine Coons, the worst they’d do is some attempted smothering with all of that fur.<\/p>\n

This cattery shows off their amazing Maine Coons all the time, but this is one of the first times they’ve posted a Savannah. They look pretty similar length-wise, but the fur on the Maine Coons just makes them look so much larger!<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look like he’s part of the cattery in the “having litters” way; he’s just a pet. That’s awesome! Someone in the comments said he looks like an F1 Savannah, which would mean he’s as close to wild as you could possibly get. That hasn’t been confirmed, but when you look at how sassy he is, it really makes sense:<\/p>\n

Rambo has absolutely no regrets whenever he gets loose in the neighborhood. He really should be more careful: somebody might think a cheetah escaped from the zoo! If I saw him running at me, I know I’d be shaking in my boots!<\/p>\n

Where Can You Get Savannah Cats?<\/p>\n

Savannah cats are a crossbreed: half domestic housecat, half African Serval. Just like Bengals, who are a wild crossbreed, these cats are not for beginners, and they’re incredibly expensive and hard to come by.<\/p>\n

When you’re considering getting a Savannah cat, or any wild crossbreed, the most important thing to ensure is that you’re getting them from an ethical source, which is exceedingly tough. These cats are very, very rare to find in shelters: you almost always have to go through a breeder to get one.<\/p>\n

Unless you’re experienced with owning wild crossbreeds and bigger cats, this breed is not something most experts<\/a> would recommend. Other breeds, like the Bengal, can be comparatively easier to handle and are considered more “beginner” friendly, though they’re not easy by any means! I bet Wild Mane Maine Coons knows that very well!<\/p>\n
