The Real Savannah Cat at the Heart of Our World
The Cat Who Always Has Something to Say
Pushkin is unusually vocal, even by Savannah standards. He greets us at the door, answers when spoken to, and has distinct sounds for distinct situations — a short chirp when he wants attention, a low, insistent meow when it's time to eat, and a particular sound reserved just for mornings. Living with him means learning an entire small vocabulary — one small part of what makes a Savannah cat so different from other breeds, as we explore in What Is a Savannah Cat?
Always Close
Wherever his primary person goes, Pushkin follows — from room to room, task to task. He wants to be part of whatever is happening, whether that's cooking, working, or simply sitting down for five minutes. It's less like living with a cat and more like having a small, opinionated shadow.
Gentle by Nature
Despite his wild, striking appearance, Pushkin has never been aggressive. He does not hiss. He accepts his harness without protest and meets new people and situations with curiosity rather than fear. His wild ancestry shows in how he looks — not in how he behaves.
What Pushkin Says
Freedom with Safety
Pushkin walks on a harness and lead around the house and garden, and has round-the-clock access to a large, secure outdoor catio through his own cat flap. It's a setup built to give him real freedom to explore, climb and watch the world — without any of the risks of roaming free.
The Journey to Norway
Pushkin travelled through eight countries — by hired motorhome and beneath the English Channel — to reach his forever home in Norway. It's a story we're still telling, one chapter at a time.
