Oscar is Our Gabatta Diva

Oscar is going to look like his (F1) Aunt Gabatta. Long, long, long legs, short tail, huge ears, fantastic personality. Just posted a new Oscar and Henry AJSavannahs YouTube video yesterday and Oscar is our acrobat AND a total sweetheart. He goes from 90 to nothing in about two seconds, recharges, then starts off again.

He's also very vocal and a bit of a diva-drama queen like our F1 Gabatta. But in a good way! Henry, now Henri, is going to Florida to live with Becky and Jerry who have our F2B kitten JoJo (formerly Vester). It's just impossible to separate them for photos or movies.

We often receive questions about whether our females or male kittens are more affectionate or bond better with other pets. We can't tell any difference, all our Savannahs are equally loving and everyone lives in multi-cat or multi-pet homes with no conflict, animosity or drama.

That stated... all our families have faithfully maintained our mandatory two-week quarantine and introduced their new family member slowly, and it's worked beautifully. If your current pets are not Tasmanian Devils who hate everyone, then you should not have any problems adding a Savannah to your home.

Hope to get new photos of Kboo's kittens up Sunday. Their eyes are open and they're starting to toddle around, big time, so the movies won't be so boring!

Oscar in October. Henry Happily Harangues

They are miniature adults, not kittens. Oscar is already running and leaping around his crate, pouncing on Henry or on imaginary playmates.



You'll see his pink lower lip in the photos. Jason watched him run full-blast into the side of the crate, shake his head, then take off again.



We've had several kittens who did the same thing, Dale and Ernie, both F3Bs with Ayo as their grandmother. So maybe it's an Ayo-thing.



Henry LOVES to talk, talk, talk... constantly. He always has something to say and we have to listen. If he could take his paws and turn my face to his, to make certain I'm listening, he would do it. He roams around, but is not nearly as Indiana Jones as his brother.



These two are so much more mature than JoJo and his brothers. They did not want to be weaned and Ayo kept them babies longer. Oscar and Henry are ready to conquer the world. Part of it is that they're not with Ayo 24/7 since she carries them around, then bathes them to distraction (Jason says destruction). We lock her out of their Great Dane crate -- but still in their room -- except when we're with them to supervise.



Poor Jason has been on a round-the-clock, two-hour feeding schedule for the last 23 days. Think they were five days old when we realized Ayo was over-cleaning them. I don't know how he does it. I couldn't handle the routine or laying on the floor.



He has them even more spoiled than usual. Not bad, just extremely people-oriented.

A few of our AJSavannahs families had asked for the webcam for streaming video; we took it in this morning and Ayo did not like having anything new near her kittens. We'll plan on setting up the webcam in two weeks when they're weaned.

More Harvey, 10 Months of Age

He's a big baby... already 25+ pounds at 10 months of age and as loving as when he was tiny. I can barely hold him but he doesn't understand and still jumps into my arms or onto my shoulder. Except most of the time now, he goes right over because I can't stay upright. His newest game is to jump to the sofa table, then leap OVER my head and land about six feet beyond me. He's very proud of that achievement, but it doesn't have quite the same effect as when he did it the first time!

AJSavannahs F2B Harvey Helps with the Folding

Harvey is from our F1 Kboo and F6A Mbau. He's not even 10 months old and weighs over 24 pounds. Our F2B kittens tend to be huge, lots of photos on our AJSavannahs Testimonials pages, but Harvey is a Gigantor among giants!



Hard to remember he's just a kitten.



Harvey tried to help fold dishtowels this afternoon. The side table is 34 inches tall and his shoulders are at least five inches above it when he stands up on his hind feet.



We're hoping for F2B kittens in September, please review our Pre-Screening Questionnaire on our AJSavannahs Kittens page for an idea of our placement requirements. And don't miss our AJSavannahs YouTube channel for videos of our early generation Savannah cats and kittens.
