Mango's breeder seems to manage living with about a dozen Abys of all ages quite well. Their "problem" is that they end up keeping a kitten from a litter every few years - simply because they become attached to the cat and can't let go. It was fun seeing all those Ruddys and Blues... and one Oriental... running around the house playing or snoozing in the sun or watching the birds in the backyard. Oriental cats seem to mix well with Abys but they are so much more vocal.
