World Must Be Crazy

Like most Savannahs, Scarlett’s Magic is a crossbreed between a domestic house cat and a medium-sized African wildcat called the serval. This crossbreeding is what gives the Savannah its unusual intelligence, its incredible jumping ability (8 feet up from a dead stop), its unusual coloration, and, of course, it’s impressive size. The fact that Scarlett’s Magic is a female is unusual, as most female Savannahs are smaller than the males.

Another interesting characteristic of the Savannah is their behavior. They’re basically cat-dogs. They play fetch, follow their owners around, will walk on a leash, and love water. Some of them will even splash their water out of their bowls (due to their desire to play with it) and take showers with their owners. Before anyone can ask, yes, I TOTALLY want one of these.

Usually a domesticated cat was not as tall and as big as this cat.This 18-month-old pet feline named Scarlett’s Magic, who stands at 17.1 inches from shoulder to toe, is a new world record holder – this cat holds the Guinness world record for the tallest domesticated cat.

Scarlett’s Magic the Savannah

Apparently, Savannahs (cross between the serval and a domestic cat) are becoming increasingly popular in California due to their unique appearance and learning abilities.

The adorable pet is also awaiting the result of a second nomination for the world’s longest cat,from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail, but for now she and her owner, Kim Droper, are more than happy with the Guinness World Record for the Tallest Cat.

Miss Droper, a passionate Savannah breeder, says Scarlett’s Magic and her kind are the smartest, most obedient cats a family could have. The breed is becoming more and more popular in California, thanks to their beauty and advanced learning capabilities.

Together with Ashera and Toygers, Savannah cats are as close as you can get to actually having a wild feline as a pet.
