Filou is small! Mango is 8.5 lbs / 3.9 kg. Our Squid (who passed away in 2001) was 11 lbs / 5 kg most of his life. I know another 9 year old male Ruddy who weighs in at 14lbs / 6.3 kg but he's really active and plays a lot. He's just a big cat.

Peaches behaves more like a male Aby. Most females I have met are affectionate but not necessarity gregarious like the males. Squid used to "work the crowd" when guests were over making sure everyone petted him and paid attention to him... and maybe slipped him a snack. He created quite an awareness of the Abyssinian behavior among our friends.

Peaches competes with Mango for attention and she will single out someone new to her to become best friends with. It's fun to watch people not familiar with Abys deal with being swarmed by them. Fortunately no one is ever upset with the closeness and are forewarned about the cats. Mango even jumped on the shoulders of a plumber a few seconds after he walked in the door and started grooming him. The plumber was entertained by the attention.
