Thank you for your interest! Yes, Savannahs are indeed registered with TICA. My Sammy comes from "Jewels of the Nile", a cattery in Wallkill, NY. (http://www.geocities.com/junglelynx/).

His grandfather is their Serval stud Pongo, who was bred to a part Bengal/part Egyptian Mau/part Oriental Shorthair female, producing the F1 queen "Marjani". Marjani was then bred to an Oriental Shorthair stud and had 3 kittens (Sammy, his brother Zaire and a white savannah sister).

Much more info about the breed can be found at savannahcat.com.

I don't know how big Sam will eventually get, but he's still growing. He's 7 months old now and weighs 15 lbs. The cool thing about him is his totally sweet disposition. Of course he can be very naughty and has a really weird taste in food. Why would anyone go after cucumbers and bread when I feed him the highest quality cat food?? More pictures of Sammy and his companions can be found on my homepage!

I LOVE everybody's comments and thank you for it!
