I have been offered a lot of money for Bastet. Her being a *rare* colour - faun abyissinain - she is worth a fair amount on the black market.

Thats why I keep her indoors because I couldn't afford the pet insurance if anything should happen to her. There have been cases here of where fellow aby friends have had their cat's stolen and later found and returned because the theif couldn't control their behaviour.

Aby's are definately one owner cats and unless they go with their former owner's blessing they are real terrors to manage.

Its sad to hear that there is still a black market for Abyssinians.
