Thank you! Yes, they are Savannahs, cross of a domestic cat with an African Serval... The smaller one is an F3, the bigger one (who is still a kitten, and will keep growing) is an F1. She's the one with the more pronounced spots, and the ocelli on the backs of her ears.

I'm planning to use Arm & Hammer clumping litter for substrate, really hoping that'll keep it under control.
