The Savannah: The Largest Domestic Cats in the World | Cats 101 

Imagine trusting a house sitter with a 20k cat

HopefulDavid people trust their $20-400k cars with valets they’ve never met before 🤷🏻‍♂️

@@michaelesposito2629 Cars are insured.

Sirena Spades trust me, if you have a $20,000 cat, you have insurance for it.

@@michaelesposito2629 insurance wouldn't cover a cat running away. Otherwise it would be just too easy to get that insurance.

the previous shot was a serval, though

@@DrWhom I thought they were talking about that picture too, I was like "That was a sevral though"

lmao

What the fuck is the issue on the first day

Same here. Had two of them. My son found both after our national moving day ( A Quebec, Canada thing, July 1st... Which is coincidentally Canada day)... Lots of "forgotten" pets on the 2nd.

The best way to have a cat. They know they are saved and are grateful.

so hes just destroying ecosystems.......

Do you live in the U S A ?

Should he be wondering around the streets and gardens alone... Doesn't sound too cool. Like the idea that he's protected your Rabbit... It shows He knows who his people are

@Bekad Baens. Compared to most of the world, sure. Do I want to stop here..? HELL KNOW, BABY

I am rich enough to have been travelling from one country to another, each for a few years. Sadly, though, this entails petlessness.

Some rich people have a doorbell-activated trap door for when Jehovahs Witnesses ring. It usually leads down to a shaft to the crocodile pit or to a "Temple of Doom"-style dungeon full of venomous spiders or angry snakes.

@@wilfridwibblesworth2613 Nice! I've been working on saving up and building mine. So far I've got the doorbell.

It depends on where you live. In Romania, trust me, you won't find a Savannah cat (or any other expensive breed cat) in a shelter.

But at just $20,000 they're a bargain! My kid's college fund can wait. I gotta have one of these critters to show off to the folks.

How do they act ? do they defrint then normal cat ?

cat corn not really, I have an f5 Savannah and he’s really nice. He likes to follow me around the house.

They’re not too different from a house cat frame what I’ve seen. They just make different sounds.

The Black Knight init better bathe me too

Take out the damn trash too.

Yo that was the funniest shit

Just breed it out when it's mature and you'll get your money back...

Shit, better have gold tipped whiskers 😺

lol

same

Same with me. From my childhood we've had many cats visit our home relax for a bit after meal and leave. These cats never go near other people and always come to me and my parents only. I feel soo blessed 😍

haha.. I've done both. well more than that.. purchased from breeder, purchased from a shelter, and opened my door to ones that just showed up looking for a long term home or just temporary boarding or short visit..

Same here!

I wonder if you possibly had Serval cats since they tend to spray everywhere

A lot of young wild cats have spots, like mountain lions

Lol

That's a good one. 😁

Got a good chuckle out of that. Thanks.

Buy in different state 😉 if you live in the suburbs no one will report you

Only the F1

People don't own cats. Cats own people. 🐱

Every time I read one of these comments quoting the video I am always on that part lol 6:53

So you cat people are just sitting there being dominated by your cats!? I thought humans were the apex predator!

VVENOM I already did and I hope I spelt your name right

Doesn't Matter how much he Costs

I can buy a perfectly fine and healthy Savannah kitten for just 1940usd in my country.

The guy getting interviewed is wrong. You can train cats not to do things, it just takes more effort

Care wise, no. Personality and training wise, they can be.

Actually, they're more like human children.

They do walk well on a leash & play fetch enthusiastically

I saw one last nite in my neighbor hood

It would be worse than a dog since it’s half wild cat

Mine is 50 pounds lol

I have an HP SBT F4 and he's amazing! Super smart, crazy funny, plays fetch etc. I love him sooo much!

Do You Have a name or number, of a Breeder??.......Email Me, Please!!

To be fair, Cheetahs are pretty skittish and would likely be afraid of humans.

With a broom you actually stand pretty good chances vs a cheetah :D not so much against the leopard though

lmmfao

I wondered if anyone else caught that. :D

I that it was a clouded leopard.

Moises Beltran too small to be a clouded leopard. They do look very similar though.

Sorry for the bad spelling, but yeah ultimately i would love to own a domesticated version of the clouded leopard.

Moises Beltran For now the closest you can get to that without breaking the law would be an F1 savannah cat.

easiest way of coming out the closet other than buying roller blades.

AM Productions best comment of the day

Predators make the best pets. a deer is not a predator. the laws are there to protect you

To protect against being eaten by a deer.

you cannot "own" a living being. neither a lion nor a deer nor any other ..

My cat would contradict that. He owns me.

@@Unbrickme can you explain to me why it's unethical? It's a micro surgery the animal won't feel a thing

@@Unbrickme so its unethical because it is unnatural? if that's the case then every haircut you get is a crime against nature.

It's unethical because it doesn't exist. Microchips don't have GPS. You would have to implant something at least the size of a pack of gum, and it wouldn't last more than a few days before needing to be recharged. How the hell do you plan on recharging a cat?

@@Unbrickme Jesus fucking Christ. That's all I have to say.

ikr, in Indonesia we can pay for good dorm rooms (hotel like), eat well and pay for college tuition for under 10000 usd

@Eric N It doesn't work that way, males are sterile until 5th generation

Really? Shit not me

Depends where you're living.. cuz you sure cant live like that in Los Angeles

Must not be married.

I thought the same thing. Even 'cat daddy', has had a few episodes with them and he downplays anyone getting one for a family pet because they are essentially a wild animal and need things a normal family cannot provide. I think it is irresponsible for Discovery to have this clip glamorizing them and saying they are a great family pet...pounds will not keep them.

Cats with wild blood desperately need to be let loose. I rescued a half-wild cat from a shelter once, and he loved to be outside. However, he always came back in, mainly because he knew he could come back out. A lot of owners don't let their cats out for fear of their deaths, but the cats would rather live 1 year outside than 12 years in.

Mondo didn't actually go that far in that week. An adult male cat can, and will often, travel up to 20 miles per day to find a mate. That is one of the reasons that spaying keeps them safer, they just don't feel the need to travel as much. Basically, Mondo just went on a short walk-about. He was just checking out the neighborhood.

You are right except this show was on animal planet not Discovery.

@@The_Keeper Depends on what breed you're talking about. European based domesticated cats always home. Irregardless of whether or not the Savannah wanted to breed, Savannahs do NOT home. They never home because their ancestors were nomadic grassland wildcats.

Hello Raven how are you doing today.

Flick Penrose Or maybe they’re just assholes!!

Hey now, if I had the money to throw away I would love to get one of these cats too. They seem like a great breed and would be cool to have around. Basically a wild cat, but domestic.

Get your own money and do whatever you want with it, but be cautious because some random guy on youtube on his iPhone may complain, smh

They don't cost that much anymore.

DrGrukar McNinjaSixthGun that’s not an ocelot... that’s definitely a serval... ocelots are known in north and Central America not Africa

@@dustindavis4923 are you blind? Thats not a serval. This show in general is very badly written. So many inaccuracies

at 3:00 mark, It's either an Ocelot or Margay. My money is on an Ocelot, certainly not a Serval

I'm saw that too and commented before I saw yours! It's 100% an ocelot

Love the name that they are called… but that has nothing to do with it. In a lot of the states they are illegal to have it is because they say they do a lot of damage to the Bird population. They are SPECIALISTS on both Birds and Mice. They require you to have your LICENSE. Having your LICENSE is for a REASON. They are NOT a Domestic Cat. Some are even not allowed to be where people have their License. It’s kind of stupid if you get your License and are going to go through what is all involved in getting it. Part of getting your license is spending your required amount of time with them… learning THEIR behaviors… knowing what’s actually involved in having these Cats and HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT than Domestic Cat. Yes… every version of Cat are Cat Behavior that is Universal to ALL… but their are their own behavior that is exclusive to the Species. For example to what these Cats SPECIALIZE IN. Things like that. Without the EXPERIENCE… You should not even THINK about trying to get one. That’s why they are illegal in places. Even with the people that want to get their Licenses. If you were to really want to get one… please… GET YOUR LICENSE FIRST!!!

It is, u just need to court the Senators doughnut

There's been a murder in Savannah.

@@tomkot … You’re talking about the city right? Not the Cat. These Cats CAN Seriously Hurt You. If you Don’t… KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

@MerkinMuffly… It’s not about the city… it’s about what these Cats are Capable Of. The F1 and F2 … you MUST be LICENSED. The F3… Maybe. The F4 and F5… they don’t require Licensing. These Cats… Are Specialists. So is the Caracal. These two Cats Specialize in the same things. Birds and Mice. For the Caracat… its the same with the F1 and F2. Also… These Cats take Obligate Carnivore to the Big Cat Level. With these Cats… the Big Cat Safety Rules… MUST BE FOLLOWED. Reading their Body Language in SECONDS is also a MUST. I could get my license EASILY… but Why? The Serengeti is the Look Alike for the Serval. It is Domestic. The Pixie Bob is the Look Alike for the Bobcat. With the Pixie Bob… they CAN be CONFISCATED in that they LOOK so much like the Bobcat. It won’t be returned until Genetic Paperwork is shown that they are NOT the Bobcat. Pixie Bob are Domestic. They can be Confiscated by Wildlife Fish and Game and Animal Control until that Genetic Paperwork is shown by your Vets.

I agree that all cats hiss, but did you hear the Savannah hiss? I know my cat hisses from time to time, but the hiss the Savannah makes is next level stuff... sounds frightening!

That didn't sound much different from a really pissed off housecat. If you think housecats don't hiss like that you've only ever heard them mildly annoyed.

Miles The microphone doesn't do the hiss Justice. It's a very loud and intimidating hiss

Chris Barnes nothing like a cat hiss. My F2b also chirps. Totally different personality than a domestic cat.

house cat rarely hisses, I had a cat and she did it like maybe 5 times during her lifetime and it was very quiet, this cat just randomly hisses at things and much louder too

I don't like savannahs but I very much aplade you adopting from the shelter saves lives

What is F2 or F anything?

@@ianshaw482 the F scale dictates what % wild cat They are. An F1 is 50% serval, an F2 is 25%, and so on. The higher the F# the less wild cat it is.

Hello Sophia how are you doing today.

I know it is a pretty late reply 😅, but is your Savannah cool with getting his nails trimmed?

Honestly. The egotism of humans is appalling

@Vladimir Putin Any economic system that has 1% of the population sitting on 40% of the entire country's wealth while 34 _million_ people live in poverty is hands down a broken system. Defending it in favor of blaming the growing number of struggling victims just shows how ingrained its values are in people. People do not deserve to struggle to put food on the table, go without a home, or fall into an inescapable financial ditch for being "just dumb", and to insist they do is really callous.

yeah.. that was excessive but nice. and no, I'm not jealous.. really!

If someone spends 20G on a cat, that cat is gonna be smarter then they are.

Its actually probably better for domestic cats as a whole if we bred more types of wildcat in with them to diversify their genetics.

Nothing is wrong with either

Lol I got a cat off of kijiji for 10$ and found out it is 3000$

@@colbyquessy1749 Ok, you're smarter than cat.

A GPS tracker on their collar too. A micro chip will only help if the cat is found by someone and brought to a shelter or vet. The GPS tracker will tell them were the cat is immediately.

@@helenholt1161 that’s what I’ve always been looking into. Microchip is great if they manage to get caught by someone willing to examine for one, but caught by some entitled asshole, they’ll claim a free cat and you could never see them again unless they’re dumb enough to bring them to a vet for an emergency purpose. GPS means you’re not left to their mercy.

I stopped at the part when they were surprised their half wild cat walked 10miles when it got out 🤦

Right? If I, a two-legged, middle aged human (in not so particularly spectacular physical condition) can take a leisurely 12 mile afternoon hike, then why the fudge should anyone with even just minimal brain activity be so surprised that a four-legged, semi-wild animal of any kind, let alone a semi-wild cat is able to cover 12 miles in a couple of weeks?!?!?! Most likely that cat was roaming around much longer distances during the period it was free, feeding on birds and other people's small pets (and children😉), and was simply randomly captured 12 miles away from his original prison. Yet the brilliant humans excitedly concluded that the cat managed to travel an "astonishing" 12 miles away from their home. 🤷‍♂️

@@callmewaves1160 Ha ha! My ordinary, mix-breed housecat walks at least 2 km every morning! XD (always comes back home though)

In Abu Dhabi? Yep, probably somebody's $20k status symbol that hit the road, lol. Sorry you lost your companion of 20 years, but you will carry your memories of her forever. And keep a sharp ear up, you may even hear her checking in from time to time to see what you're up to.

@@AbsentWithoutLeaving You couldn't be further from the truth. She was a starving street kitten with a B&W mother who who came every morning to my door begging for food. One day she started coming alone as it was possible the mother cat had been killed by the municipal cat-catchers, then I had to take her in. The only money I paid was for an import licence and air fare when I brought her back to Britain and then six months quarantine. Apart from being blind in one eye, her face was almost identical to the cat in this vid but the spots on her flanks were a little less distinct. While she was young she had a remarkable ability to jump a six-foot fence and she had an amazing tree-climbing ability. I am sure she must have been fathered by an Arabian desert cat or a Cerval.

Exactly, idiot doesn't know wtf he's taking about, just guessing and spewing out nonsense from his mouth.

you might not know this but the species of human is good for information probably 100% of the time 10% of the time.

Shows like this just wing it, there is so much bs on tv

It's to stop light from reflecting back into the eyes, so they have it backwards.

To avoid glare

Savannahs are banned in Australia, but weirdly Bengals aren't

@Provocateur tell that to the cat 😂

We need to start a civil rights movement for Savannahs. Down with cat oppression.

Yes... they can cost that much... lmao get ur facts straight.

I think the modifications they had to make on their house to keep them from escaping is what added to the hefty price. Also, it sucks so much that they are illegal in GA but for now I’m ok with my Ragdolls 😊

start a go fund me.....

@@yardfowl3149 Happy to! Are you neutered or spayed?

People glamorize this cat so much, the only reason people get it is because of it having longer legs and spots, and use it for views on Instagram and TikTok

I know majority aren’t, everybody on Instagram and TikTok just flex’s them for views and they lock them in a small garbage house and encourage other broke people who don’t have anything better to do to buy them

They also have small livers compared to the rest of their body and some kinds of anesthesia can be deadly to them, if you get one you need to make sure you find a vet that is experienced in caring for them.

Savannahs live longer then your average domestic and have fewer health issues. Dietary needs are met with any ( high quality) soft and wet cat food mixture. Alot of dietary issues arise from savannahs due to people making their door and not doing their homework on a balanced diet and not genetics nor any lacks of (quality) cat food. Wanna know the truth about big kitties ask a actual owner. I have 2 sitting with me as I post this and just rescued another , member of several groups and member of a national rescue. 😁👍

@@raypeila Yes! I adopted 1 bengal cat and 2 savannah cats. They are absolute baby's. Not to mention its more affordable then owning a dog.

@@raypeila I think I'll stick with researched University and vet studies. They argue otherwise.

Soo please tell me more about what you know for somthing you saw somebody post somewhere. Plus you don't even know the food I'm talking about anyways.🤣 If you have nothing intelligent to add please dont.

I am surprised when I hear the phrase "people kicking off at eachother ". I have not heard this until now.

Because some ppl are dumb shits & think they know everything about a breed because they read it on the internet...

Kick kick kick, het off my lawn!

Ken N this I can agree with!! Yes

Ken N now that's what I'm talking about!

Fuck rescues, there is no point in paying money for a cat from a rescue shelter that is going to force you to neuter or spay via a binding contract agreement when you go to adopt. Most rescues these shelters get these cats from off the street, and that is exactly where I get all my cats--FREE OF CHARGE AND CLEAR OF BEING FIXED! Not to mention I don't have to jump through hoops and pay fees to a stupid rescue whose sole goal is to make profits off doing what I can obtain for literally free of charge in my own literally anywhere in the country.

Nuclear Armament why is spaying/neutering such a big problem? I know it isnt free sometimes but it's a way to at least try to make sure the feral population stays down. Cats seem to be healthier when they're fixed and they don't feel the need to roam around to find a mate. Everything else you said had good points (rescues have quite a lot of hoops to go through to adopt an animal) but fixing seems a reasonable enough request.....

Nuclear Armament spaying or neutering your pet is part of being a responsible pet owner. If you can't fully provide for the animal, you should not have any pets at all. It's the same as getting them vaccinated; getting them fixed will help them live longer and happier lives.

It’s still a wild animal

@@oligilliganrobloxminecraft7953 No, it’s not. Did you watch the video? It’s a wild cat bred with a domestic cat; even F1’s are only 50% wild, and that’s just genes. How the cat is raised plays a huge factor in domestication.
