We met Trouble's parents before we met him. That was the first time I'd seen a Savannah in person and all I could say was "this cat is COOL." They have an expressive vocabulary, they're extremely affectionate, and they're huge...which can take just a little getting used to! After meeting Kboo and Mbau, we met Trouble, who was 4 months old and already pushing 12 pounds.
I knew right away he was going to be "my" cat. He nuzzled my face, sat in my arms and stared at me with his big green eyes, and then went pinging off after one of his many toys.
Now he's 9 months old (and 20 pounds!) and gets along great with our other three "regular" cats, but his favorite thing is to hang out with us.
He was well-socialized when we got him -- he learned early to be gentle -- so now he enjoys being handled; even for a nail-trimming or the occasional bath. He's very smart, and he aims to please. AJSavannahs does it right -- they care, and they're there with advice when you need it.
