LOL!! Yes, there is that, eh?

But also...in their 'engineering' process, who knows what important stuff might have been left out. After all....man does not know everything although they tend to want to play around with everything like they do.

That's true. They also didn't mention what "two exotic cats" (I think that's how they worded it) were used. It could be a lion and serval for all we know.

Also I don't want to think about all the miscarriages and stillborns that happened before they were "successful."

I do want a savannah cat tho. They are gorgeous. i like that they are big, long, and lanky. very pretty

I found this on the Ashera: The claim that this is a new breed remains controversial with some cat-breeders - who are claiming that the 'new' cat is actually the pre-existing Savannah breed.

Wow! The solution to our dreams.

Ginger's allergic to her brother the kitty!!!!

Now if I could just get everyone to donate a mere $1500 to the cause...

Oh, ummm they just said something on tv about cloned milk???

Yes, this is definitely an issue. Here is a quote from a "Savannah" site that I read:

On the down side however, that first cross between the domestic and the Serval is much more difficult to make. There are several major hurtles to overcome in producing first generation Savannah kittens. First and foremost is finding a Serval male which is interested in breeding domestic females. Most have no interest at all and can not be safely paired with domestic cats. Secondly, most of the Servals that will breed domestics, will only breed one or two specific females and usually only those with which it was reared with (imprinted on) as a kitten. Then lastly, most domestic females seem to have an immunity response to the developing kittens and either reabsorb the kittens or abort the litter a few weeks prior to the expected delivery date. These factors all conspire to greatly limit the availability of first generation Savannah kittens

This is from www.deerfernfarms.com who breed Savannahs.

OMG!!!! I just cannot get OVER the PRICES of these animals!! Totally and completely UNREAL!

I would love to have a couple of them but then again I love cats! I could and would not pay that much money. But if someone gave them to me I would definately take them. I love big cats. There is family in my town that has mountain lions and tigers. They have special enclosures and a permit to keep them. I saw them at a little store one day with a cougar in their car. He held its head away from me and let me pet it. I would love to work at a zoo.

when i worked at the zoo we had two servals that were "tame". they would walk on leashes and play with the keepers. They were raised by the keepers since they were only a few days old. I loved playing with them. So much fun.
