When you first encounter a Savannah cat, you could be forgiven for thinking it’s a cat from the plains of Africa. While this is not far off, it’s not entirely accurate either. Since 2001, this accidental cat breed has been officially recognised by TICA; it is, in fact, a short-haired house cat.
Savannah cats were created accidentally (when a Serval cat was bred with a Siamese cat). Since then have become domesticated and are now popular family members for households. However, you need to know what you’re getting into when you adopt a loyal Savannah cat.
