Summary
About American Bobtail
American Bobtails are medium to large, sturdy cats with a natural short tail and wild, bobcat‑like look. Affectionate, social, and “dog‑like,” they enjoy fetch, harness walks, and greeting guests. Intelligent escape artists, they need enrichment, secure housing, and regular grooming.
About Savannah
The Savannah is a tall, athletic hybrid cat bred from domestic cats and African servals, with a lean spotted body, large ears, and short coat. Highly intelligent, active, trainable, and vocal, it bonds closely with people and thrives in engaged homes with ample play and enrichment.
