Lady Jane spent over 9 months at an animal hospital - no, she wasn't sick, they were keeping her for the Friends of Felines. She was very interested in open drawers ever since we got her. We suppose that she was in a cage a lot, and for a long time the chance to look down and watch drawers being opened and rattled around in may have been her only fun and diversion. Meow ^Leo^ ...

Alex is the chubby one, I accuse him of actually being a Vietnamese Pot Belly Pig is disguise, but all the Abbys I've known have been the most loving, affectionate, people-oriented cats I've ever known. Last Sunday I had our model RR club over, and as 5, to him, perfect strangers were sitting in the basement at the bar, Alex jumped up on the bar, and just worked his way down, begging each one for affection. Once when Charlie was a kitten, I had some friends over, we were sitting around chatting when all of a sudden one of my friends stuttered "Uh, Don, what do I do now?" I looked over to see him sitting frozen, afraid to move, with Charlie sitting on top of his head! Also, if you want to sleep alone, DON'T get an Abby. :-) Don ...
