And, these suckers were HUGE! The biggest "indoor" house cat that I have ever seen in my life. Their legs are very long and it says that they weigh around 35 lbs and can stand as tall as a medium sized dog.

They have different "ranges" of these cats (f1 and f2's I believe) - the f1's and f2's are used to determine the "amount" of wild cat that has been bred into that particular Savannah.

Just crazy!

Here are pictures of them: Yahoo! Image Search Results for savannah cats - if I saw one of these cats outside I would probably die. They look like leopard's or cheetah's.

But this one is just ohhhh sooooo CUTE

I also forgot to mention that the Savannah's are illegal to own in some states as some states have banned them completely due to them being...well, WILD. I know that they are banned in NY, Wisconsin and Georgia, and I can't remember the other states - but it was just a few in total.

Oh and, check out this baby.....holy SMOKES!!!!

His coat is beautiful, but is seems like some of them have heads that are way too small for their bodies. The head size of this cat looks to be of normal size, but the body just seems so long.

I agree, beautiful coat! It's head does look too small for it's body. The size of it's head looks to be the same size of my cat's head - although I have never seen a Savannah in person so I don't know if that would prove to be true or not.

These cats are just huge - so tall and long

OK, I fixed his head, I think he looks better here.
