This is a straightforward short video which may interest some visitors. As described it shows a female breeding cat with an interesting tabby coat which appears to be more ticked tabby than the classic spotted tabby pattern which is the pattern of the Savannah cat, with her offspring in one of the areas of the large complex that makes up the breeding cattery area of A1 Savannahs.
I was surprised to see her in a cardboard box on a concrete floor but that is probably par for the course. There are many heavy ventilation fans at A1 Savannahs in the covered buildings to keep the cats cooler in the blisteringly hot summer weather.
There was a bottle of water attached to the fencing that formed the caged area. One of the employees had let the water bottle run dry which could be very serious in hot weather. The problem was quickly corrected.
The mother cat – the queen – is large but I don’t know what she is – probably a f2 Savannah cat. She must have mated with a serval or another high filial Savannah cat. I suspect it was another Savannah cat.
The video has some interest as it shows in a very real way what it is like at a well run breeding cattery in the USA.
The video is not current. It was filmed about 4-5 years ago. A1 Savannahs has changed hands since then. It is a bit archived video but I thought might interest some people as an historic record.
There is quite a lot of barking. There was a family dog wandering around. I am interested in this cat (the queen). She may have been a random bred ticked tabby (large cat) but the male was perhaps an F1 or F2 Savannah. That wouldn’t produce purebred Savannahs but A1 Savannahs were not affiliated to a cat association.
Either that or she is a Savannah cat without the classic spotted tabby coat but was a good breeder. She was large so could have been an F3 or 2 as you say. She does look like an Abyssinian. The kittens are very nice looking Savannahs with fantastic patterns on their foreheads. You can see two of them with awesome head markings.
That makes a nice story. I can see a comically sketch developing.
The icon upon which my stupid comments are formed, is my Shrimp.
I rescued a little grey mouse this evening. Oreo had it caught btwn his front paws, no claws. And he dropped it in front of me. I bent down, hoping to scoop the little adolescent prey in my outstreched hand, and she ran straight up my leg, until she reached my upper leg. My left thigh This is where it gets really comical.
Let me just say this. Dee, I worship the ground upon which my Shrimptaro treads. He is my heart and soul just right up there with my daughter, who it just so happened named him. And if you would like to denigrate Kathrin and Martin, for turning over A1 Savannahs to some game-jungry hunter, then so be it. She is regretting it to this day..
Well, most likely she is used to the barking, which maybe doesn’t occur constantly.
She reminds me of an Abyssinian/Savannah, maybe F3? What do you think, Michael? Thanks for uploading this vid!
Sorry, but I find it disgusting that a mama cat is caring for her babies inside a cardboard box with barking dogs around.
I find it disgusting that she is being bred at all.
I hate every part of it.
