With so many exotic cats in the world, it's mathematically impossible to have seen them all-especially the rare breeds. I've only recently stumbled upon some really cool kitties with the most stunning silver and onyx polka-dot coloring that deserves a spot in the antique armoire. As it turns out, this Savannah kitten isn't only gorgeous, but also worth a huge stack of cash!

So Easy (To Fall In Love) - Olivia Dean

This adorable silver Savannah kitten is a sight for sore eyes, and it's all thanks to good genes! When it comes to domesticated wild cats, these felines can easily be mistaken for your everyday Tabby cat if you don't know what to look for.

Generally, Savannah felines are larger than standard cats with long legs, tall ears, and recognizable "black teardrop" eye markings, where Tabbies (which is a fur pattern, not a breed) have a trademark "M" on their foreheads and tiger stripes.

To get a better sense of how special these cats are, take a look at how similar yet striking this kitten is while playing in his catio. The silver-and-black color palette is even more incredible at this age, highlighting the stark contrast between the lighter silver fur and those jet-black spots.

How Rare Are Silver Savannah Cats?

These beautiful, exotic-breed cats aren't only aesthetically pleasing, but their rarity comes from being so highly sought after yet hard to find. This is dependent on their generation, which ranges from F1, which is when a wild African Serval breeds with a domestic cat, to F5, who are considered more manageable and better suited for life with a family.

High-generation silver cats, especially F1 kittens, are extremely rare and difficult to breed. Silver is caused by an inhibitor gene (that's a lack of color) and isn't a default color like brown-spotted kitties, and they need at least one silver parent to make that pretty coloring, which only adds to their rarity. Some kittens are even born with matching silver eyes!

Being so uncommon, some of the F1 and F2 silver Savannah cats sell for between $10,000 and $23,000! For that much money, I sure hope these kitties are treasured beyond belief!
