But Wait! more abyssinians!


i also have an abyssinian. her name is Ms. Kitty. or, Girly Girl, or 猫太 (when younger 猫小姐). there was also a few days over break when she was Guinevere, since i was the ill-made knight, and she loves me very much. she's a little crazy, but she loves me very much.

abyssinians are great cats. They "'must be one of the most intelligent animals ever created. ...a very people-oriented cat. Not a lap cat... but a cat that likes to be with people, a cat that wants to know what you are doing - that wants to help. There is probably no breed anywhere more loyal than the Aby. Once you have acquired an Aby as a companion, you will never be able to complain that no one understands you. Abys are very good at training people to do just what they want them to do.'"



Ours have special beds on the top of the built-in book shelf/tv cabinet. the rent's cat also likes to ride around on my dad's shoulders like a parrot.

Abyssinians make good family pets but tend to bond with Adults and older children rather than young toddlers. Abyssinians are not vocal, having a small bell like voice to communicate. They prefer and seek higher places to sit such as backs of chairs, refrigerators and scratching poles. They get on very well with dogs and will quickly teach the dog who is the boss. Abyssinians can be taught to fetch and retrieve small objects and because of their dog like antics, they are often attractive to men who previously thought that they did not like cats. Once a relationship is formed there is no breed more loyal than an Abyssinian. Expect to be greeted with enthusiasm and devote 10-15 minutes attention to your Abyssinian on your homecoming. Being "people" cats, they can become very lonely if left for long periods of time alone so it's often wise to have two as company for each other.

i miss my girl, maybe i'll go to UT and adopt her. we make a good pair. mom says, for the entire day before i fly home each time, she waits by the door- psychic kitty style. she is a bit paranoid sometimes. not a starter kitty. ... Goose, on the other hand, is *way* low key. the *best ever* cat for dog people/neverhadapet people. he's so forgiving.
