By: Bella Gattini Cattery "The Savannah Cat Shoppe" Whenever Scarlett out for a walk on a leash, paparazzi always follow. “If my husband and I take her out in public, we cannot be in a shy mood,” Draper says. “Crowds will gather and people will want to ask questions and take pictures. Our walks have become hour-long excursions!” Scarlett has been making the rounds with various media outlets, including a recent appearance on “Live with Regis and Kelly” (watch the video clip). Draper says people she runs into around town now recognize Scarlett as “the large cat that was on TV.” One look at Scarlett, and it’s clear why she stands out: She measures about 18 inches tall from paw to shoulder and more than 42 inches long from the tip of her nose to the tip of her tail. Weighing in at 22 pounds, this spotted Savannah breed appears more cheetah than tabby. “People are taken aback when they first see Scarlett,” Draper says. “They think she’s a cheetah or a leopard. After I explain her breed, people then get excited to pet her.” Scarlett has been a part of the Draper family since March 2008. Draper specializes in breeding Savannah cats and she and her husband own The Savannah Cat Shoppe. “It’s been a crazy year for us,” she says. “We’re so excited that she made the Guinness Book of World Records. I actually brought a copy into the Ontario RCBO office and said, ‘Look at Scarlett on page 155!’ We’re very proud!” But it seems media attention and two world records haven’t swelled Scarlett’s head. Draper says she’s the same mellow cat who enjoys playing fetch and dutifully serves the role as “guard dog.” “She’s very smart and very loving,” Draper says. “She runs our house!” End
