OK, I just got through feeding my furkids. What is different about Jumper's upward look is that he seldom looks directly at me. I picked him up and looked at his eyes, and they are normal for a cat, that is, not crossed. The body length of Jumper is measured from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail, and luvdemabys, you say that is too large for a true-bred abyssinian? But, I do not doubt what you say. The one kitten with the most expression of any of my furkid's eyes is in Snow Tiger's gaze. But until I get some way of placing pictures of my family on the internet, all I can do is explain as best I can about Jumper's pecularities -knowing that he is not a pure-bred.
