For years, I had only Abyssinian cats but quite a few of them were rejects from the breeder who would never have found a home otherwise. I loved the look and the character of the breed. Now I have just one Aby left (a toe missing on one front paw and atrophied toes on her other front paw) and my other two are not from shelters but were "accidents" and it was me or being drowned in a bucket. Benny arrived with terrible problems in his ears that costs more than the price of a purebred cat to fix. Momo's father is unknown but suspected of being a Turkish Angora as that is what he looks and feels like.Tama-Chan, Benny, Vidock, Violette, Ollie, Heloise, Momo, Ryuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09728967278937557315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430513703845763567.post-80288396811836599402023-02-24T17:18:00.700-05:002023-02-24T17:18:00.700-05:00I came from a shelter.

And since they are usually female (and often any calico males are infertile) you can't breed true as you might with two Persians or two Siamese. In fact, early on in the cloning of cats, a calico was cloned and the resultiing kitten was not calico. Sorry Candy - I love calicos dearly but I have to argue against Rarrebit on this !catladymachttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033830580059786017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2430513703845763567.post-74478460732149567992023-02-23T15:05:01.580-05:002023-02-23T15:05:01.580-05:00i wuz homeless, found with a sisfur when i wuz res...i wuz homeless, found with a sisfur when i wuz rescued an now i haz a mum who luvs me eben tho i haz attitoodz.Gidget Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05153594054683738324noreply@blogger.com
