Had our daughter's Abyssinian cat for a week

What a cool breed of cats. This guy is so chill. He's not over friendly and usually doesn't jump up on your lap. But he always has to be in the same room with you. I'm going to miss this guy when she takes him back.

But, they are hard to find (and expensive) I have a Burmese which are also very cool. They are sweet as can be. Personality out the wazoo. They don’t really like to be alone. So, that can get annoying at times.

And with her somewhat limited income, she probably shouldn't have gotten it. But I'm glad she did. We live in Detroit and she had to drive to Indiana to get it. So you're right, they must be hard to find.

They are like long haired Abyssinians and may be cheaper.. or even better, get a mixed breed Aby/Tabby..

Mom and son. OMG, they were the best cats. The son, Satchmo, was my baby. Absolutely my baby! He was perfect in every way. They lived to be 17 and 18 years old. It's been 5 years and I still miss him so much, even though I have a calico shelter kitty keeping me warm at night. I love her and she totally breaks the cute meter, but she ain't Satchmo.

I would so totally get another Abby! Coolest.Cats.Ever!!!!
