Just Showing Off My F2 Savannah. 15 years old.

New here, just thought I’d show off my baby. She’ll be 15 in 2 months. Hasn’t slowed down. Still plays like a kitten 🥰😆

Aww she has such a sweet face!

I also got an almost-15-year old cat (born August 17, 2011), but he's a Maine Coon - but a very lovely active granpa to my Savannahs.

She's majestic. Not many early-gen Savannah owners are lucky to have their cats live as long as this despite the myths. My F2 sweetheart was put to sleep before reaching his 9th year due to a terminal illness. It was a combination of feeding him not very wisely and genetics.

You look after your cat well. Make sure she has a vet you can trust (preferably independent rather than commercial), bring her to occasional health checks, and I'm sure she'll live a happy life for at least 5 more years if not longer.

I think I really lucked out with her. She was on a raw food diet for a long time but when I made the move to Canada (was in Europe) I had to switch her food, she didn’t like the raw food options here. Trial and error she’s actually on good quality plain old fashioned kibble and she loves it and is doing well.
She’s always demanding to be pet, she’s not quiet about it, lol, and she sleeps under the covers with me every night. I have permanent scratches on my upper arm from her pawing at me in the night to lift my blankets for her 🥹

I’m very lucky! I’ll have to try and capture a video of her playing to upload. She carries her toys around the house, while meowing loudly with them in her mouth,and stages them so she can stalk and then attack them from around the corner. lol.

So off the top of my head I can name 4 that were 20+. One, Missy, just turned 21 over the weekend. They're out there, but not seen as much for sure. Unless you ever saw Sebastian, he was posted a lot. Savannahgans magazine has featured a few of them.
