She has African ancestry and is a relatively new breed that looks extremely exotic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This cat is right between a wild animal and a domestic kitty. Considering that they haven&rsquo;t been around for too long, they aren&rsquo;t the perfect cat for someone who has never had a feline companion in their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first kitten of this breed was born on April 7th, 1986. It&rsquo;s quite unusual to have the exact date for the birth of a species. Her name comes from the habitat that she was born in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This breed can weigh up to 20 pounds, and live up to 20 years if you take good care of her. This means that she&rsquo;s a little bit larger than an average Maine Coon cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47195\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-640x422.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-960x634.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"660\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47195 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-640x422.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-768x507.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-960x634.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-2.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are several differences when you&rsquo;re looking at a Savannah cat vs. Maine Coon. Most of their differences are, of course, in the way they look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earlier generations of the Savannah cat look like wild cats. However, those traits diminished throughout the years, as they were crossed with domestic felines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you take a good look at a Savannah cat, the first thing that you&rsquo;ll notice is her tall and slim build. She&rsquo;s a sight for sore eyes, I can promise you that much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She definitely looks larger than she actually is, however, her size will mostly depend on the exact generation. This means that the closer she is to a wild cat, the larger she&rsquo;ll be in size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we&rsquo;re looking at her coat, you can see the beautiful spots all over it. The ICA (International Cat Association) recognizes only these spots to be a part of this breed. However, you&rsquo;ll see some Savannah cats that have different patterns on their fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pattern mostly depends on what the Savannah cat was crossed with. I mean, a Savannah cat that was crossed with a tabby won&rsquo;t have the same patterns as one that&rsquo;s crossed with a solid-colored cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What makes this feline so popular is her face. Her face is a stark difference to her body. Her hind legs stand taller than her front legs, which makes it easy for her to jump and run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, her face is that of an adorable domestic cat. She has a small nose, round eyes, and tall ears. If she&rsquo;s mixed with a tabby, then she&rsquo;ll even have an &ldquo;M&rdquo; pattern on her forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personality<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-3.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Cat Vs.

Nonetheless, the wild nature of this cat can seep through if you&rsquo;re not careful enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their personality is mostly what doesn&rsquo;t make them suitable for people who haven&rsquo;t had any experience with cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you look at a Savannah cat, you can obviously see that she&rsquo;s more than able to jump on any surface that she sees as a challenge. You have to keep that in mind constantly! She&rsquo;s extremely fast and has a lot of energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re not the type of person who likes to spend hours playing with your pet, then maybe you should find another breed for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, they&rsquo;re extremely social cats. This makes them very good for families, because kids can have a rougher playtime with her, and she won&rsquo;t become aggressive at any point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, it&rsquo;s quite hard to find a Savannah cat that isn&rsquo;t a little bit anxious when put into environments that are new to her. She won&rsquo;t feel comfortable right away, because she will need some time to adjust to everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She&rsquo;s also an extremely intelligent cat. This breed doesn&rsquo;t have any issues with learning new tricks. She&rsquo;s easily trainable, all you need to have is a little bit of patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her energy levels are very high, but once you train her, she&rsquo;ll understand what she can and can&rsquo;t do around the house. If anything, she&rsquo;ll know how to groom herself, and where to go to the toilet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also means that she&rsquo;ll be able to learn a couple of party tricks that you&rsquo;ll want to show off to your friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Maine Coon: Everything you should know<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47197\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47197 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you&rsquo;re putting them in a ring and watch a Savannah cat vs. Maine Coon, you&rsquo;ll see who&rsquo;s the fluffier one.

This is just a small difference from the Savannah cat. However, they can live up to 13 years, or something a little longer if they&rsquo;re taken care of properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Appearance<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-5.jpg\" alt=\"Savannah Cat Vs.

Because of his fur, he may even seem bigger than the Savannah cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because they have two layers of coat. The undercoat is there to protect him from the colder days, and it&rsquo;s quite effective. This is also the reason why Maine Coons actually love to be in the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because they originated in the Northern part of the US, all of their physical traits help them become the best domestic cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, their fur is a little bit shaggy, which protects them from the ice and snow. Even their tail, which resembles the tail of a raccoon, is resistant to snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You have probably seen pictures of Maine Coon cats curling up their tails and stepping on them. They do this in order to protect their paws from the cold snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to everything else that&rsquo;s huge about this breed, they also have huge paws. You may even see multiple toes on his feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those paws are great for keeping his balance on a snowy road, but it also makes him stable enough to run and jump on different surfaces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&rsquo;re lucky enough that your Maine Coon grows to the full size that&rsquo;s recorded for this breed, then you may have to deal with a cat that is up to 40 inches long. This is a huge cat, and you need to be aware of that if you make the decision to get one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Personality<\/h3>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47199 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-960x640.jpg 960w, https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 48px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Savannah-Cat-Vs.-Maine-Coon-The-Battle-Of-Giants-6.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-6\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>When you compare these cats, both of them seem like they aren&rsquo;t family-friendly pets. But, we are here to tell you otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maine Coon cats are probably the best pets to get for your family. They&rsquo;re great with kids, and they don&rsquo;t mind if your kid plays a bit rough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They won&rsquo;t become aggressive, which means that they won&rsquo;t scratch or bite your children or you just because you accidentally brushed against them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If anything, they are the type of cat that has a lot of patience, and they don&rsquo;t mind a lot of noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Maine Coons are also the perfect new addition to your home if you already have pets. They&rsquo;ll get along with all of your cats and dogs. Why? Well, look at them! They&rsquo;re huge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every animal is aware that larger animals are almost always stronger. Why would your little white cat attack a giant like this? If anything, your other pets will respect him even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bigger downside of this breed is that Maine Coons require a lot more grooming than Savannah kitties. Their long coat can get tangled and matted. Before you know it, you&rsquo;ll have to shave off all of his fur, which you probably don&rsquo;t want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He&rsquo;s also a very intelligent cat. Because of his patience, he&rsquo;s also easily trainable and listens to commands. You&rsquo;ll be surprised how quickly he learns new tricks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Savannah cat vs. Maine Coon: Final thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m a huge fan of both of these cats. They&rsquo;re unique and huge, which makes them great companions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if this is your first time owning a pet, I would genuinely suggest getting a Maine Coon. He&rsquo;ll be so much easier to take care of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only when you&rsquo;re ready, you can bring a Savannah cat into your home. They&rsquo;ll become best buddies in no time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Read more: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/catschef.com\/bengal-cat-vs-maine-coon\/\" data-lasso-id=\"10526\">Bengal Cat Vs.
