The Savannah Cat is a domestic breed that originated in the 1980s, descended from the African Serval.

Noteworthy characteristics of the Savannah Cat include its ability to play fetch, walk on a leash, give headbutts, emit a snake-like hiss, chirp like a bird, exhibit high jumping capabilities, and display high energy levels and intelligence.
