What The Savannah Cat Breed Looks Like

The Savannah cat breed is characterized by either a light or grey colored coat with dark or black markings. The markings are civet-like and are all over the body of the cat in a definite pattern. The size of the Savannah cat breed depends on whether it is a first generation cat or after. The first generation cats are usually larger than the ones that come afterwards.

Most cat breeds are different from one another in their body shapes, sizes as well as length of coat and also color of their eyes, and maybe even in their personality. Of all the different cat breeds, there are two major categories which are short hair and long hair and the short hair cats are the most common of all cat breeds.

The markings on the Savannah cat breed are also called marbling and can have a variety of patterns. One thing that is usually consistent in this breed of cats is the tear marking on its face similar to that of the cheetah. These tear markings are always black and run from the inner corner of the cat’s eyes to the side of the cheeks near where the whiskers start. These tear markings help to reduce the glare of the sun and aid the cat in hunting during the day.

Safari Cats—From The Jungle To Your Living Room

The Safari cat is a new breed of cat, and there are less than 40 of them that exist right now.  This cat comes from breeding the spotted Geoffrey’s cat, which comes from South America, with the common domestic cat.  This is quite a feat because, while the domestic cat has 38 chromosomes, the Geoffrey’s cat only has 36.
