January Abys... and a Tabby

They're all gorgeous and it's nice to see them again.

Bubbles is so petite that at first I thought that she was also an Aby until I saw her stripes.

My Sunny is an Aby mix and is quite the monkey cat. I can only imagine what it's like to have a purebred Aby in the house.

What lovely pictures of your beautiful cats.

I love the way Mango sleeps with his paw under his chin. Too darn adorable.

I would love to have one of those inexpensive cat carriers also, providing that gorgeous kitty comes with it.

I didn't even know you had another cat. Bubbles is such a pretty cat. I just love the soft colors on her.

Not only Mango, but his Guardian as well.
Thats a great Photo of a Fine Gentleman and his Cat.

I just LOVED this whole thread! Those pictures were TOPS! The BEST!....and the one in the bag and the one with the paw under the chin, so SO FUNNY!... Typical "C A T!"

It is so good to see you and the cats looking healthy and happy. Thanks for making my day!

Sas and her brats!

I neglected to tell about the very shy Miss Bubbles. When someone knocks on the door Mango and Peaches (the Abys) run to the door but Bubs runs to hide in a closet. Like Gini said, she does her Marlene Dietrich thing ("I want to be alone").

Her fur is as soft as a bunny and she has kind of a baby powder scent. Her white bib and paws are absolutely snow white. She's really a sweet girl.

When I saw this Randy, I thought how fabulous the kitties look (I have a photo of them floating on a canal here on my desk..the photo is on my desk, not the canal....

) and I thought how healthy YOU look!

Randy, I noticed how well you look too, but at first, thought it might be best to say nothing. But thanks to Sara, I realized that no, you need to hear it from us. You do look great. I realize that it has been a long way "from there" to "here" and it is just terrific seeing you look so healthy.

Ok if everyone tells you how good you look I will queue for that as well.
But nobody will get me to say that you look better than Miss Bubbles with her cute tongue on her cute nosie

BTW: I have seen Bubbles

As opposite to certain Scottish kitties of which I cannot tell whether they are two or three - I never saw more than two together.........

Regarding Aby weight: Filou has been 3.2 kg and is now close to 3- so Mango would wrestle in a different weight class and it explains why Filou is often considered as a girl.

I had hoped I had it covered when I said you both look wonderful but I'll say it again - YOUUUUU look WONDERFUL!

**Randy_K** · 02-05-2007, 01:10 PM

Thanks! It's been a long trip since I fell down the Rabbit Hole a few years ago and I know most of you only saw me just out of the hospital looking my worst. I'm almost at the end of treatment now being estimated at the end of May - relying just on how quickly my body gets the job done. Curing an incurable cancer with experimental treatment...

I was caring for the furry monsters for three weeks while Bev was out of the country. Mango and I have been buddies since he was 2 months old and, fortunately, Abys are easy to move when they are with someone they know. They took over my home a few minutes after they got there and made it their own. It took Bubbles a week to start socializing.

Peaches and I had a disagreement. She thought it OK to trample and sample whatever I was preparing to eat. My immune system isn't fully recovered yet so I needed her off the counter. After the 50th (60th, 70th???) time I set her on the floor she got the message. The next morning she was sitting in the sink. "See. I'm not on the counter!" Smart little girl.
