Billy just gets more amazing every day! At four-and-a-half months of age, he's taller and longer than Edie. He's the sweetest cat I've ever known. We love it that he sleeps with us in bed every single night (even if sometimes there are surprises left for us in the morning!)
He's also decided playing in the water dish is great fun, whether it's tring to dunk his balls or just sticking his head under the fountain.
We think Toby is fabulous. Not just beautiful to look at but a pleasure to be around, except at 3AM when he starts pulling my hair to wake me up so I'll throw the ball for him LOL.
Howard and I usally wake up with a few balls under our pillows, ones that we've confiscated in the middle of the night so we can sleep.
Toby is growing so fast and continues to amaze us. He is one of the most affectionate kitties we have ever owned.

Isis is doing well. She has taken over the house as is very playful. Isis and Osiris became fast friends. They play with each other all the time. At first Osiris had the advantage, but the tides have changed. Isis is taller now than Osiris and she has gained advantage in their wrestling matches. Osiris has learned to wait to be served but Isis is like a wild animal getting to her food. She is quite interesting and a very loving kitty to me. She sleeps next to me or on my back every night. Osiris is next to me also most nights.
Drella, our F2, is one of the smarter cats I've known, but Billy, an F1, is clearly smarter. He figures something out after just seeing it happen one time. Today, something really freaky happened that I'm convinced was not a coincidence. Billy was hanging out on the floor in our loft while Randy and I talked. I said something about Billy acting squirrelly and Billy immediately took off down the stairs, returning in about 20 seconds with his stuffed squirrel, which he dropped at Randy's feet. OMG. Are they really that smart?
Nyah and Gunner, her Australian Shepard brother, are great play mates!
Jamba, F-1 Savannah male, shown here at about 18 months is growing into a real beauty!
Nyah allows her brother Gunner to bath her but oh that dog breath!
Most recent picture of Toby. He's now 6 months and 9lbs 2oz & still growing!
Billy continues to grow bigger every day. He's six months old now and about nine pounds. He's a stunningly beautiful cat with such dramatic markings! We love his big round black spots and his kissable black nose. Billy is manifesting more Serval qualities as he comes into his adolescence. He'll jump up to any height in our home, even onto places where our F2 fears to go. The only sound we've heard him make besides loud purring is a bird-like chirp. Billy is starting to assert himself with with our other Savannahs. When they're play-fighting, Billy even does the snake head maneuver! He's by far the most affectionate and people-oriented of our cats, sharing his cuddle time evenly between Randy and me. Recently, Randy taught Billy to play fetch with a small tennis ball. It took about two minutes for Billy to learn. Now, many times a day, our little puppy-cat comes trotting up with a ball in his mouth, ready to play. He's an amazing cat in every way!
Here's another picture I took today. You can see that Billy's face is starting to look a little more mature. He continues to become even more striking as he's maturing.
Billy has been coming into his own as a water kitty. Last night he decided to take the big dive into a sink-full of water. He ended up soaked.
Otis is awesome!
His never ending need to spread chaos and destruction brings a tear to our eye everyday.
