Would a serval or Savannah cat get along with a domestic housecat?


my mom has my large female spayed domestic housecat, she is laid back and isn't fisty at all. she's 8 years old. and just chills on the couch all day, or rubs against people. if i adopted a serval or savannah cat would they attack her or try to eat her? or would it be possible they could get along??? because if its not possible they COULD mabye get along, then i wouldnt want to adopt one until my kitty is long gone...i love that girl.

I'd suggest that you don't get a Serval. They are wild regardless if you get Servals raised by humans since they were born. They smell bad and spray. If you really want one, be prepared for a lot of work. If you can handle it, I'm sure it would be worth it in the end.

But, that is the point in getting a Savannah. You have the exotic look of the Serval, but more domesticated. You should try this first before just going and getting a wild animal. Just make sure to look for a reputable breeder who focuses on temperament and socialization. There are many great Savannah breeders.

So you just have one cat? Have you ever had any other cats live with your current cat? It is stressful for cats who have lived by themselves to have their home invaded by a new cat/kitten Just make sure if you still decide to get a new cat whether it's a Savannah, Serval, or another hybrid cat, give a lot of attention to your current cat to keep her from getting stressed out and unhappy with the new cat around.

Ok first off servals are wild cats. A savannah is a hybred , a cross breeding of a type of wild cat and domestic cat. Both servals and savannahs are larger than your normal domestic cat and are more agressive. I don't think your Mom's cat would be very happy if you brought either of those home.

Yes, a lot of serval owners also have domestic cats.

If you are truly interested in exotic pet ownership then I invite you to visit my Yahoo group called "You Have A What?". There are people there that own everything from birds to kangaroos, to monkeys, to tigers.

There are several serval owners/breeders there that would love to help you.
