Savannah Cat Is Furious Over New Kitten Addition

This F2 Savannah cat clearly is not very happy with the addition of a new kitten into the family. Just listen to those growls!Show more

How many times have you seen a house cat so angry that you can hear it growling like a dog? Well for this video you finally get to see it if you have not already seen it. We know this was my first time seeing a cat so angry. The most we have seen is the occasional hissing, which makes no mistake, this cat does that as well.

Apparently, the owners of this F2 Savannah cat decided to bring home a new kitten and welcome her to the family. This obviously does not go over too well with this Savannah cat. We guess it is going to have to get used to sharing all the family love!

You might be thinking, F2 Savannah, what kind of cat is that? Well, we thought exactly the same, and you probably have never seen one in person as they are pretty rare. These cats are difficult to breed and are actually very expensive compared to regular domestic cats and some actually can go for around 20,000 dollars! The reason these are difficult to breed is that they are a mix between a domestic cat and an African Serval, a wildcat that is found in Africa. They usually tend to stay to themselves in the wild and have great leaping, running, and swimming abilities. No wonder they can breed such great house cats!

This explains the unique look of the Savannah cat, as it has pointed ears as well as wild kind of look to it that most domestic cats do not have. The F2 in its name stands for how far down the lineage of serval goes. An F1 cat might be the direct offspring of a Serval and domestic cat, F2 being the grandchild of a Serval, etc. As you go deeper down the lineage you have less of Serval genes in the cat, so an F1 might be 50% Serval and F2 might be 33%. This also causes the price to drop on these cats.

No wonder this Savannah cat acted to vicious, it still has a decent amount of wildcat in it. Serval cats are known to claim their territory and you can see this F2 Savannah seems to have already claimed this as her house!

When this Savannah cat sees its new roommate, it starts to get angry. The family brings a new kitten home, assuming a regular domestic kitten, and this Savannah can’t take its eyes off the kitten. You never see the kitten but I assume it is outside of the cage that the Savannah stays. This cat looks ready to pounce it as its eyes follow the kitten around. The Savannah starts to growl and seems as if the growls become more intense the longer the kitten is in its presence. That is one scary cat! It is so interesting to see the wild tendencies coming out of it, with growls like a dog and the hisses. Savannah cats are actually said to get along with dogs, so maybe this makes sense! It is going to be a tough journey for the kitten but I hope the owners can keep it safe!
