A little more perspective
Guinness’s record history gives Arcturus’s height as 48.4 centimeters, verified on November 3, 2016, and explicitly defines it as ground to withers. This record retains that dated individual measurement. Savannah cats have hybrid ancestry; Guinness follows TICA’s classification when placing them in its domestic-cat record category.
The illustration represents an adult spotted Savannah using Arcturus’s documented shoulder height. It does not reconstruct his exact spots, face or body proportions. The raised ears and head remain above the withers marker, while the long tail has no effect on this vertical reference.
