Pam, I went to a cat show in Phila. and fell in love with my first Aby, Mandy aka Katmandu! She lived with me for 13 years and went to RB (cancer of the tongue) right before I got Graemer and Miley. I had never seen the breed before and just fell in love with Mandy. As it turned out she was a breeder cat, ready to retire, so I cleared out my checking account. She was a real love, for sure. She was a red Aby! I should come up with some pictures of her some day. She was my Mandy girl for sure. I cried for days when she had to be put down. I kept her in my freezer until the ground thawed enough to bury her. I know that sounds horrible, but in a way, it was comforting to know that she was still around. The vet suggested the freezer - it was not my idea. She was wrapped and contained so it wasn't as though the furry girl was next to the frozen peas.

Anyway, that is how I fell in love with Abys.
