Savannah Cat Owners Manual. Savannah Cats care, personality, grooming, feeding and health all included.

Good information, and a quick, and simple read

This book is garbage, inaccurately written in so many ways and a waste of time to even read. Nothing in here was informative and it felt like it was written by an illiterate backwoods hillbilly who googled a few facts to add in. Wish I could return it but it’s not worth my time to do so for $12 lost...

So we can take care of new Savannah cat.

Good beginner book.

Very happy with this book, helping me a lot.

Exactly as described.

Nice

While Elliot Smith may be an animal lover and experienced with pets, he is no expert on this particular breed. If you wish to learn about Savannah cats, please seek out authors that have extensive experience with this cat breed. Otherwise, your money is better spent purchasing a book on general cat care!

On the one hand this book does bring together a reasonable amount of information about cats. Also, SOME of it does apply to the Savannah cat breed - as a loving and diligent owner of Savannah cats, who has purchased every bit of material and trawled the internet for details, I am able to identify with SOME of the facts. However, MUCH of the information presented as fact specific to the Savannah breed is really very generic i.e. it applies to all or most breeds of cat. Furthermore, some of the more detailed ‘facts’ are plainly wrong since a) there are numerous references elsewhere to the contrary and, more importantly, b) the book contradicts itself about its own facts! For example, in one chapter the Savannah is referred to as a short hair (correct) and later as a long hair (incorrect). Proving this book is not the great reference manual it claims to be.Unfortunately, this is not the only problem. There are numerous grammatical, formatting and other unusual errors... it is as if paragraphs are copied and pasted from one cat book to another and not properly checked.I searched for the author “Elliot Lang” on Amazon and found numerous books covering almost every highly specific species of pet imaginable: the Shipoo, the Pygmy hedge hog, miniature horses, small pigs, pet salamanders, pet cockroaches, peacocks, pigeon racing, Pygmy goats etc... How can one be an expert on such a wide array of diverse species?I smelt a rat : ) and dug further using Amazon’s Look Inside feature to explore these books. In some Lang thanks his wife and kids... in others he thanks his husband and kids instead! See ‘Peacocks’ vs ‘Siberian Cats’. Not impossible but a bit strange given that the books were published at the same year.I also searched on the publisher instead and noticed that several different authors wrote VERY similar books on some of these breeds. Some are published under IMB Publishing (often used by Lang) and others under Zoodoo Publishing. I guess it is possible that Lang and these other authors are not actually genuine writers and this is some kind of “shelf-stacking” strategy to produce many mediocre books to a diverse market of buyers.So, in summary, if you decide to buy these books be careful to cross reference the facts.

It helps understand how different these cats are. I would strongly suggest reading the book before you get this sort of cat, it will enlighten you as to how unusual they are. They can be highly strung, very vocal, but also very playful, to the point of demanding your full attention when it's playtime, but very beautiful animals. If you just want an ordinary moggie, then these are certainly not the animal for you.
