Hi Everyone! I have always been a dog lover & owner. My first venture into purebred cats (we always had lots of barn cats who lived with our cows) was to buy 2 very stunning & very expensive Bengal cats. After F4, they are considered to be registered as "domestic tabbies". I did alot of research & spoke with several breeders. I was told that they are inquisitive, active, water-loving cats. My 2 came from Canada, & my husband drove half-way from PA to Toronto to meet the breeder. My cats had the glitter gene, which made them appear to have been sprinkled with gold dust. The most gorgeous breathtaking animals I have ever seen. Well, they WERE inquisitive & active - tearing through the house & knocking everything off tables, shelves, etc. They did enjoy playing in the bathtub in a few inches of water with some balls, which was fun. But they were peeing machines. Peed on anything plastic, peed on their beds, peed everywhere. Even though they were both neutered, the 2 of them fought like crazy. The male would actually JUMP from the upstairs landing to the floor below (about12 feet or so) & hit the floor running! I was so disappointed. Needless to say, I ended up rehoming both of them to nice pet homes with people who were willing to deal with this. Now, several years later, I have ventured to get some more cats. I now have 3 purebred Ragdolls, who are beautiful & affectionate, but fairly laid-back. I recently got a Sphynx, who is incredibly active & loving. I would love to trade my one Ragdoll youngsters for another Sphynx. He is beautiful & sweet, but is afraid of our big dog (he is ok with our smaller dogs). By the way, is anyone wanting to make a trade? HAHA My Ragdoll younster is a seal colorpoint, a show quality cat until his breeder decided that his tail was a micron too short! Off the subject, I know! Anyway, it is amazing that you can try to be as informed as possible, & still get your heart (& pocketbook) broken!
... My husband wants a f1 or f2 Savannah, has anyone had a Savannah or know someone who has?
