It's been a while since I've updated you on Montu, our year old F2 Savannah boy. He's become our loving 'Monster' boy and is absolutely wonderful and beautiful. I've attached a couple of pics.
Living on a farm, Montu has been exposed to a lot of outdoor activity. He is funny about what he likes to do, and what he doesn't. He doesn't climb trees, but he loves to act the true savannah cat and crouch in tall grass to ambush us when we walk by. The horses are WAY to big to interest him, but there is no fear. He simply walks around them to follow us.
Our sand arena is a huge play box for all the cats. They go with me at evening feed and run amuck in the sand. Montu faithfully stays with me as I do the feed, just like a dog would. When I'm done I go and sit on the patio and he goes to play in the arena. He's so big compared to our 'normal' cats, but he doesn't maul the smaller cats, just torments them. He is definitely a bathroom cat too. He loves showering with me, and putting on makeup or doing hair is sometimes impossible because he will get in the sink, and stay! Our toilet paper is often found in very small chunks strewn throughout the house. He tears into the rolls with a vengeance.
His looks are very impressive. I've looked at many F2's, and he looks more like everyone elses F1's. His markings are spectacular. His oceli are not solid white, but they are very strong and creamy. His conformation is very much like a Serval. Long, very powerful front legs, and a very strange looking pair of back legs when he trots. There are times when we catch him sitting very upright that he looks very, very Serval. His ears and face show the Bengal the most, I think. But there is Serval even in his face.
