🏠Cat tree and sleeping setup for a Savannah: sizes that work
Savannah : A large secure outdoor enclosure or catio is ideal to channel its energy, along with a very stable XXL cat tree (often 150 to 400 euros). It jumps very high: secure windows and balconies with netting.
In short: Large athletic cat (often 4 to 10 kg depending on generation), short spotted coat, very high energy. A serval hybrid with an active, one-family temperament that jumps very high and gets bored quickly. Its two-metre-plus leaps call for a secured habitat such as a meshed enclosure and closed storage, even up high.
A cat tree scaled to the Savannah
At 4 to 10 kg, a standard cat tree tips over: a heavy base, thick posts and platforms of at least 50 cm are non-negotiable — look at the large-cat range or custom builds. Put it by a window: watching the world is feline television.
Beds: several, in the right spots
The Savannah rotates sleeping spots by hour and season: a bed in the sun, a quiet cave, a blanket up high — three options beat one luxurious ignored basket. Washable at 60°C, ideally, for parasite control.
Scratchers and retreat zones
A stable vertical scratcher of at least 90 cm (cats scratch at full stretch) near the nap spot, plus an inclined or flat one elsewhere: that is the sofa’s life insurance. Add one quiet hideaway per cat — everyone needs somewhere to vanish unfollowed.
