Just like domestic cat breeds, serval cats are lively and very playful. They can become very affectionate and devoted to their owners. They have a loud purr and express affection with adorable head butts. Instead of a meow, they make a chirping sound. Some of their traits make them sort of like a dog. They can be trained to walk on a leash, and they love to play fetch just like a dog. So, with the right training they can be very lovable. I hope this helped!

How many people own African serval cats in the US?
There are no true stats to this question because in the U.S it's illegal to own these cats and they can be considered dangerous. Serval cats can be 40 lbs., or more. While they are loving pets to their owners, they are dangerous to children (even if they don't mean too because they are so large and powerful) and do not like domesticated cats. When one leaves their home they must put the cat in a large cage and not leave the cat loose in their home. These cats need meat to eat, and many untrained owners that just like the thought of owning an African Serval Cat find they are troublesome to look after and expensive to feed. There is a problem with Serval Cats roaming free and some owners simply feel if they can't support the habit of feeding their Serval Cat they can simply give it to a zoo. Zoos do not want anymore large cats! The ASPCA (U.S.) or SPCA (in Canada) are tired of seeing African Serval Cats dropped on their doorstep. Owning an African Serval Cat is a big responsibility and one should study the history of these cats before deciding to own one.
Can 4th generation Savannah cats be let outside without a leash?
Temperament wise I do not think it would be a problem, depending on your specific cat's temperament. However, depending on where you live it may be illegal. In fact a lot of states have them illegal to own at all. In New York State you can own one that is 5 generations removed from the Serval, but not in the city of New York. Other states are GA, Mass, Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa. Only ones I found, but may be others as well.
