No they don't. We try to have as few cats segregated from the others as possible, which is one of the most compelling reasons to rehome a queen. We have Bianca that is getting on a bit (breeding wise) and also doesn't get on with other cats - we have Ripley who can be unpredictable with other cats, and we have Eloise who is terrified of Bengals. All of these will be rehomed because they cannot cope well.

But we currently have eleven girls in our conservatory and another six in what we call a 'Commune' (a converted garage). The others are either having babies, or are studs and have to be kept separate, because like the male of our species, they can be aggressive if there's women involved!

The Savannahs apparently get on even better with each other than Bengals do, so we'll have an even more harmonious household when they arrive.

It does mean we are constantly sweeping up tracked litter and changing trays (the cats can ignore their slightly smelly tray and not mind it outside, but inside - phew), but I really don't want all of my girls outside. If I find my girls have to go outside for social reasons then I try to find them another home - it's not fair on them.
