Good on her! We've got a "feral cat society" that traps, neuters and if plausible puts up for adoption. There's a whole colony of ferals that lives under the bleachers of the pro soccer stadium. Keeps the rodents in check...

What a cutie!!! Kitty pies while getting some human luvin, good sign.

We did the same thing with a cat family when we moved into our current house. Feral "fixed" cats on the property - no problem. However, here is one of the "wild" ones now.

Pinky!!!!!

Saw that back in the late 90's. Great video although I think Dobby, our arsehole of a cat is related...


This is his typical "I'm such a cute kitty" ploy, don't believe it whatever you may think. This is what he looks like right before jumping up and trying to eat your face

Not small.

Stomachmonkey beat me to the punch. Unfortunately we have never owned or been owned by one. They are beautiful and expensive cats. I saw an add for the breed in a magazine at a FBO(Stockton Jet Center-Atlantic) called "Elite". Caters to a economic class of folks I can't even fathom. The add made me laugh because it showed a little boy and girl with one on a dog leash. It also said they have a mild temperament and eat regular pet food. Not bad for something that looks like it came from somewhere in the Serengeti.

My dark mind went right to the place of a family returning from a day of shopping only to find it gnawing on the family 65 lb yellow lab. I know, I need help

Some of the Egyptian pictograms depict cats that look very similar. If there was a way to pull it off, I'd love to have one. However, "what could possibly go wrong?"









I think I'll stick with my original plan of getting a Main Coon someday. First one I ever saw was in an equestrian tack shop in Paso Robles. Was wearing a 1" spiked dog collar and took up every bit of the glass counter top it was laying on. With his huge golden eyes, the most majestic cat I've ever seen. He knew it too....

Savannah Cat Price Comparison Table

Generation Male Price Serval Percentage

F1 Savannah $12,000 - $16,000 ~ 50%
F2 Savannah $4,000 - $8,000 ~ 30%
F3 Savannah $1,500 - $4,000 ~ 19%
F4 Savannah $1,000 to $2,500 ~ 15%

But for less than the price of a F4 Savannah you can have a Munchkin and they don't jump on the furniture

Well then,

A exotic cat capable of making small neighborhood children disappear or a top engine rebuild of our 270k 3.0L out of our 78SC. I choose the rebuild. Less liability.....at those prices.

Actually, like I gots dat kinda cash just lying around anyway. I'll just be content with rescuing a local pound kitty.



Our local crew available.

The little munchkin kitty looks like the feline version of the corgi.

Actually, just like you I'm leaning toward a Maine Coon...

Yah, definitely go the Maine Coon route. Great cats. Totally mellow disposition, big, self assured. Cool cats.
Another consideration is a Norwegian Forrest Cat. Some say the precursor to the Maine Coon.
