Kboo's Kittens Meet Oscar

Just published 64 new photos on Facebook; Kboo's kittens meeting Oscar for the first time. Kboo's babies are 52 days of age, Oscar 16 weeks. Berta immediately learned how to jump UP, just from watching Oscar. All five trailed Oscar around the room, jumping at his tail and trying to get his attention. Bella kissed his nose, Kevin made multiple mini-serval leaps to try and take him down, Eric bopped him on the nose, and Michael went up and tried to headbutt a greeting. They were all worn out by the time their meet-and-greet time was over. Michael could barely keep his eyes open; he looks absolutely beat!

Oscar Approving His Latest YouTube Video Upload

Click the title to go directly to his video. It was easier to get the piano shot in the background video than to get him to stand still on my desk. He almost deleted an entire folder!

Oscar is Our Gabatta Diva

Oscar is going to look like his (F1) Aunt Gabatta. Long, long, long legs, short tail, huge ears, fantastic personality. Just posted a new Oscar and Henry AJSavannahs YouTube video yesterday and Oscar is our acrobat AND a total sweetheart. He goes from 90 to nothing in about two seconds, recharges, then starts off again.

He's also very vocal and a bit of a diva-drama queen like our F1 Gabatta. But in a good way! Henry, now Henri, is going to Florida to live with Becky and Jerry who have our F2B kitten JoJo (formerly Vester). It's just impossible to separate them for photos or movies.

We often receive questions about whether our females or male kittens are more affectionate or bond better with other pets. We can't tell any difference, all our Savannahs are equally loving and everyone lives in multi-cat or multi-pet homes with no conflict, animosity or drama.

That stated... all our families have faithfully maintained our mandatory two-week quarantine and introduced their new family member slowly, and it's worked beautifully. If your current pets are not Tasmanian Devils who hate everyone, then you should not have any problems adding a Savannah to your home.

Hope to get new photos of Kboo's kittens up Sunday. Their eyes are open and they're starting to toddle around, big time, so the movies won't be so boring!

More Oscar and Henry Glamour Poses

These photos were taken after they wore out chasing each other around the room and over and around Jason. Oscar can still go under the Little Tikes toy, but Henry gets stuck on at least half of his attempts.

They both purr constantly and get sidetracked very easily but they LOVE their Whirly Gig toy and have created a new game. It's called Knock it Under the Door at Nap Time and They'll Come Play With Us. And it works. We put them in their room for a nap and if we don't take the Whirly Gig, they'll never go to sleep. They have us well-trained!

Oscar in October. Henry Happily Harangues





They are miniature adults, not kittens. Oscar is already running and leaping around his crate, pouncing on Henry or on imaginary playmates.



You'll see his pink lower lip in the photos. Jason watched him run full-blast into the side of the crate, shake his head, then take off again.



We've had several kittens who did the same thing, Dale and Ernie, both F3Bs with Ayo as their grandmother. So maybe it's an Ayo-thing.



Henry LOVES to talk, talk, talk... constantly. He always has something to say and we have to listen. If he could take his paws and turn my face to his, to make certain I'm listening, he would do it. He roams around, but is not nearly as Indiana Jones as his brother.



These two are so much more mature than JoJo and his brothers. They did not want to be weaned and Ayo kept them babies longer. Oscar and Henry are ready to conquer the world. Part of it is that they're not with Ayo 24/7 since she carries them around, then bathes them to distraction (Jason says destruction). We lock her out of their Great Dane crate -- but still in their room -- except when we're with them to supervise.



Poor Jason has been on a round-the-clock, two-hour feeding schedule for the last 23 days. Think they were five days old when we realized Ayo was over-cleaning them. I don't know how he does it. I couldn't handle the routine or laying on the floor.



He has them even more spoiled than usual. Not bad, just extremely people-oriented.

A few of our AJSavannahs families had asked for the webcam for streaming video; we took it in this morning and Ayo did not like having anything new near her kittens. We'll plan on setting up the webcam in two weeks when they're weaned.
