Lea, yes that definitely helps the confusion. I suppose that I'm looking for a near-pure bred cat. When I get this camera working then I'll be able to send pictures of my cats. Aren't the Abyssinian blotched tabby, and Ocicats beautiful? I have one cat that is obviously part Abyssinian, because of her looks and temperment, but she is a torbie in color. I have also noticed the pure bred Abyssinsians have a dark streak under their eye without the tabby mask, My Abby-Queen also has this same marking. Even though all of my cats are mixed breed, I still love them. They do make great companions. Thank you for taking the time for eduating me about the cats.
