Q: What is a Bengal Cat?
Bengal cats are a hybrid cat that is a cross between the Asian leopard cat and a domestic cat. Domestic cats that have been used to make bengal cats are Abyssinian, American Shorthair, Burmese or Egyptian Mau. Where does the name “Bengal cat” come from? “Bengal cat” is derived from the Latin name of the Asian Leopard Cat which is Feline Bengal catensis. Bengals cat are coveted by the exotic wild spotted pattern from the Asian Leopard Cat. Asian leopard cats are found in central Asia.
Q: What is a Savannah Cat?
Savannah cats are an exotic looking cat breed with thick black spots, jet black tear drops that flow to there even darker noses. Known worldwide for being one of the largest domestic cat breeds. Savannah cats resemble a cheetah or leopard but are actually produced through selective breeding with the African serval cat. They are a very health cat breed with almost no health concerns. Savannah kittens are most well know for there wonderful characteristics such as walking on a leash, easy to train, family friendly, dog like personality, play fetch like a dog and like water!
Q: What are "Fuzzy Uglies"?
Savannah and Bengal kittens do have some wild traits in them and the fuzzy uglies is certainly one of them. The “fuzzy uglies” usually start to appear when the kitten is about three weeks of age; their coats will become dull looking. This happens in the wild because the kittens begin to explore and this helps camouflage them from predators. The fuzzies will usually start to clear up about 12 to 16 weeks of age. When the kitten finally sheds the last of these little white fuzzy hairs you will fully appreciate the beauty and striking appearance of your Savannah or Bengal kitten.
Q: How does the classification work? (What does the F1, F2, etc. really mean)
The “F” classification means how many generations away from a pure African Serval Cat. Each “F” generations can be determined by what the Savannah Cat Mother is for example: F1 mother breed to a F7 male is a F2 savannah. Remember that the ABC’s do not effect what generation the savannah cat is but only define how many savannah cats are in the pedigree. List of example:
Serval x Domestic = F1
(F1 Savannah) x (Male Savannah) = F2
(F2 Savannah) x (Male Savannah) = F3
(F3 Savannah) x (Male Savannah) = F4
(F4 Savannah) x (Male Savannah) = F5
(F5 Savannah) x (Female or Male Savannah) = F6
(F6 Savannah) x (Female or Male Savannah) = F7
