    Abyssinians are the best

    You're so right, Bastet's mum, I missed them too. Look at my Filou at August 8th. There are more Aby fans here: Look at Neko1's Tama (e.g. under Kitties and Warm Places) and sasvermonts Miley and Graemer. Miley looks like Filou's sister.
    But Bastet is maybe the most special of all. Do you have new pix? She must have grown now.

    Yes I do! But being new here I am still learning how to post so bear with me! I have a wonderful one of her with her chest puffed out and smiling because it was her birthday (May 6th) and she got mousies!

    Abys?



    What can I say. I am in love with my cats - especially my two Abys. There is something so very endearing about the breed. I am sure everyone feels the same way about their cat(s). Having had all different types/breeds, I still prefer the Aby.

    I am hooked!

    I still haven't figured out how to post pictures without the attachments....one day !!! Here's to abys. I have been fortunate to have enjoyed the companionship of 4 Abys in my life. They have unique and wonderful personalities and their intelligence makes life with them very interesting. My present 2, Maya and Bodhi , are now 10 months old and there is never a dull moment or quiet one for that matter. Like SAS I love all cats but have a soft spot for Abys.

    Mine will be two on 11/11/02

    Ah, boy can I remember what 10 months was like. It is better now, but not much better. They are still very, very active and into everything. They add insult to injury every chance they get. I do love them so.....

    I finally managed to add an avatar to my name -it might not be the technically most convincing but it's a start!

    One day we must check whether they have some common grandpa.......
    Of course I love most dogs and definitely all cats but my heart melts when looking at these boys and girls.

    SASVermont- are they both boys? I think Graemer looks bigger..is it just the photo? They seem like little silk worms to me (that is a compliment...though worms isn't very pleasing, is it?). I think they seem so 'wrappable' like a stole, maybe...

    Cataholic, the two of mine are one of each. The smaller is the female, Miley.

    Yes, they are very, very silky to the touch. They have very lean bodies and are constantly wrapping themselves around my legs and head at night. They are love bugs for sure. I often tell them "you are so silllllkkkkyyyy"...... they don't shed much either. I seldom brush them, but do pet them lots.

    The only drag to these two is that they have this ever present need to "get as high" as possible. They reside on tops of doors, cabinets, chests of drawers, headboards, so there is no place really sacred. I cannot seem to stop them. One time Graemer, the male, actually got into a drop ceiling and walked around, finally dropping THROUGH one of the tiles.

    I do love the breed though. I am hoping that when they mature a bit more, they will settle down. My last Aby became very calm at about age 5

    SAS- verrrrrry interesting. I could see saying to them the same thing. They do look so silky and slinky and slippery. I wonder why they go after the height so much? Did you notice this, or have you been informed this is a characteristic of the breed? I think it is very interesting. I have those shutters, too, and mine used to do the same thing. But, my cats are a little, uh, 'heftier' than yours. Ok, let's be honest- two of mine are plain old big boys.

    My brother likes Abbys. I will encourage him to pick up a pair...right after he divorces his wife, who hates all non-two legged creatures.
