Savannah Cats and Kittens: Complete Owner's Guide to Savannah Cat & Kitten Care: Personality, temperament, breeding, training, health, diet, life expectancy, buying, cost, and more facts

For cat lovers, there is perhaps nothing as exciting as welcoming a new member of the family, especially if it's as "wild looking" as a Savannah Cat. But the Savannah Cat is a fairly new breed, having received recognition from the International Cat Association only in 2012, so you won't find a lot of good and reliable information about how to take good care of this cat breed. You may be able to adopt or get a Savannah kitten from a trusty pet shop or one of the more established breeders, but you might have some difficulty finding trustworthy reference material about this breed. So it's a great thing that Taylor David has come out with the book, `Savannah Cats and Kittens: Complete Owner's Guide to Savannah Cat & Kitten Care.'The Savannah Cat can be a challenge to manage. A hybrid breed created from cross-breeding an African Serval Cat and a domestic cat, the Savannah Cat is exceptionally powerful, active and agile and people have often compared it to a small cheetah. It takes a thorough understanding of its physical traits and temperament to live in harmony with this cat. But make no mistake: the Savannah Cat is a joy to live with as a companion, and the more you know about its uniqueness (with the help of David's book), the better your experience of living with the cat will be.The book contains actionable information about EVERYTHING you need to know about this hybrid breed: from the moment you choose one from a cattery or breeder, to keeping it healthy and happy. The book can even help you make important decisions about whether or not you should also engage in breeding this magnificent cat, or the pre-emptive measures you can do to protect your beloved animal from the common threats to its life and health.And most importantly, if you're still thinking about adopting or buying a Savannah kitten, the book even provides a list of trustworthy breeders from around the world--you can easily contact any of these breeders. Heck, you'll even learn the laws concerning the ownership of such a cat breed. That's why when they put the phrase "the complete owner's guide" in the book's title, they're not kidding.Overall, this is a great, comprehensive, and complete resource for anyone who is trying to decide what cat breed to get or, if you already are a proud human companion of a Savannah Cat, how to give it the best possible care in the world. I can't recommend this book too highly, especially for genuine cat lovers. If you have invested in welcoming one of these tall feline beauties into your life, then the next best thing you can do is invest in getting a copy of this book. Five stars, no less.

This book explains EVERYTHING you would EVER need to know to take care of your Savannah cat as perfectly as possible. Even goes into the history of the cat and how the decision was made to recognize it as a breed of its own and why, etc. Great pictures to go with the text, giving me a full understanding of differences between this cat and others similar to it, proper products to use (food, hair/health care, etc.). What should my cat's general personality be like? How do I know if it's sick? What should I be feeding it, and what is about the right weight for it at what age? How do I train it well, or if I want to pay someone to train it for me how do I find a good trainer? Everything is in this book! It's the perfect thing for someone looking to buy and care for a Savannah cat.

This book is a compilation of many articles from around the Internet that the author has placed together in a nice narrative. The reference sections at the book are excellent and helped me tremendously when talking with my vet during my Savannah's first few vet visits. Recommend to any new Savannah owners.

I'm in the market for a savannah cat and I bought this book to be better informed. Unfortunately, this book contains little more than an brief overview of the cat that can easily be found with a google search and isn't even as in-depth. For instance, this book doesn't cover the fact that savannahs will eat anything and so you have to be super careful about little bit of debris lying around (the top plastic part of a milk carton, etc.). Nor does it discuss training your cat to use a harness. It doesn't talk about pushing your fingers into the cats mouth if it ever tries to play with you using too much mouth - as they get older, this can lead to biting. I was about to give this better than one star, but because this book advertises that it's a "complete" guide, this book crosses over from being a light intro that might be interesting to some people, to an outright irresponsible scam. By using only this "complete" guide, you may wind up with a dead cat - either because you didn't know you had to spray bitter apple on all your electric chords, or because you bought an F2 that became agressive because you didn't train it properly.

We just adopted an F5 SBT. I mean, she is a cat. If we didn't know she was a purebred we wouldn't be able to tell the difference between her and our other 3 cats, except for her spots. But this book certainly did help us feel prepared to welcome our Savannah in to our home. It is well written and an easy read. The facts it shares are interesting and the information it provides is practical. I'm glad we purchased it.

This book is great I've learned a lot about the Savannah cats and kittens I now ready to get one of my own

Very good reading & lots of info

This book was very informative. We are getting a Savannah kitten, or cub, I don't know which is correct, in April or May. This book gave us some much needed information on care and what to expect when we get it. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in getting a Savannah cat.

The book does not contain a lot of information and what is in there is quite basic. It lists the same prices of cats 3 times spaced out over multiple pages. The wide margins and double lining makes it look like a student that needed to get up to the required pages. All the info in there looks like it was picked up from Wikipedia articles or forum posts.

Very good book, very informative in every way. I likes how it even included its history.

If you are considering getting a Savannah cat then Savannah Cats and Kittens: Complete Owner's Guide to Savannah Cat & Kitten Care by Taylor David is the only book you'll ever need.It's rich with detailed information regarding this beautiful cat breed and more. In fact, everything you would ever need to know is within the pages of this book. From finding the right breeder to caring for your kitten and cat, and plenty more besides.Because the Savannah Cat is a fairly new breed, it has only recently received recognition from The International Cat Association in 2012. It is a hybrid breed created from cross-breeding an African Serval Cat and a domestic cat. A lean, powerful and energetic cat, but certainly not dangerously wild as it is affectionate and craves to be around people, indeed forming a deep, intense bond with its human parent or guardian.What I particularly liked about this book is the section containing Frequently Asked Questions and an Appendix section listing other relevant facts, such as a list of plants that are toxic to all cats, not just the Savannah. All this will be extremely helpful to any cat owner.You will also find links to other websites should you seek more information, which no doubt saves you some time from searching for it yourself on the web.And if you decide to become a breeder yourself, there is lots of info on this too, listing the pros and cons to consider.All in all, I just loved this book, and if I ever decide to get a Savannah cat in future, I'll be glad to refer to it for guidance.

Since buying this book, I have become the proud guardian of 2 beautiful Savannah babies. I have to say, their temperament, their attitude - pretty much everything about them, is the same as is described in this book. Companion breed cats are quite high maintenance, but always rewarding with their love. However, for someone who has never had a cat such as a Savannah, a Mau or even a Bengal, guides such as this can be a God send when deciding if a cat like this would be suitable in their household. I have had companion breeds for many years, and even so, I still found this book helped me to prepare for the lifestyle changes of having a Savannah! I would recommend this book to anyone interested in buying a kitten of such a breed!
