When Trouble comes around, he’s hard to miss.
That’s because the Sacramento, California cat is 19 inches tall from paw to shoulder, making him the tallest cat in the world. ...
Trouble is part house cat and part African serval cat, a recognised hybrid called a Savannah, but his height is still surprising, even for his breed. ...

The title of the article is misleading. An African Wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica) is not the same as a Serval (Leptailurus serval or Caracal serval).
All domesticated cats are descended from the African wildcat, which has a body length up to about 30 inches, and weighs in at about 14 lbs. The Serval has a body length of about 36 inches and males weigh up to 40 lbs.
The former looks much like a regular sandy brown to yellow-grey housecat, the Serval is sometimes mistaken for a young Cheetah.

I have a cat (Bob) who is a pixie bob. He has spots like this guy and he’s big but not tall weighing about 18 pounds. He was born with a tail but all his siblings were bob cats so his breeder bobbed him too (grrrrr) so he is not the most coordinated cat and since I’m sure that some of his brain was bobbed too - he’s not the smartest cat I’ve ever owned. He’s pretty much a one person cat (me) and down right hostile towards my granddaughter who has been known to tease him. He is totally bonded to the house and yard and so we let him go out during the day. He’s always back by dark and sleeps happily in the garage where he has his own little cat house. He is no more a threat to the birds than I am, in fact, he’s sort of a afraid of them and doesn’t climb or jump.

One of my favs, too! I love some many cat breeds, but I’ve always been partial to the regular ol’ American Shorthair classic tabby. Have one now that will be 19 in March.
In my experience "regular ol’ American Shorthair classic tabbies" have great dispositions - a nice balance between curiosity and affection. Your 19 yr old must be about 100 in human years! You must have done something right.
