I have an 8 year old female Aby who was diagnosed with GI Lymphoma 2.5 years ago. She’s doing well. Yesterday, my husband was trying to hold her for her medication and she got squirmy. He began yelling at her, so I asked him (probably also with raised voice) to quit yelling at her. He then proceeded to roughly hold her down (her tail was in angry mode) and even though I asked him to PLEASE LET HER GO, he then faced me, continued yell at me and holding her down roughly. This continued for almost a minute. Later he told me that I don’t like when he lets her go if she needs her medication. Kind of different than man handling. Now she is avoiding him. Any thoughts? Advice? He has since apologized, but I’m not trusting him!

my old blue sure does love his “treats” - which he doesn’t know is just a seafood flavored food that is different from his regular grub. But if 5:30pm comes around I’m not heading to the pantry then he will let me know!! Bcuz Abys are like that 🤣🤣

How are all our babies doing?

Our kid is 22 weeks old now and growing like a weed. Gosh we love her, she is AMAZING. The friendliest most lovable cat we’ve ever had. She is certainly full of energy, but we also have a 6 yr old
Tabby and a 2 yr old Bengal so lots of play opportunities there. She is also great at self play!

She is a food MANIAC though holy moly. She has dry food out all the time but when we get out a treat or wet food she’s just a MONSTER.

Her favorite self play toy is probably these super dumb toys called “cat dancer chaser with fleece”. I have no idea why they are so fun but we bought a six pack recently LOL

Hello everyone. I will soon be getting a little 5 month old aby girl. I already own a 13 month old domestic shorthair, also a girl. Character wise it seems like they are very similar and not dominating or aggressive at all, but very curious and friendly girls. My cat does tend to be a little anxious but curiosity always gets the better of her. The reason I even decided on getting another cat is that I can tell she’s too energetic for her own good. If she could, she’d never sleep or eat and just play. I’m the only person living with her and even if I spend 3 hours a day playing with her and buy her all kinds of interactive, puzzle and whatever else toys it’s not enough. She seems to love when I have people over and thinks it’s a party just for her. That’s why I’m hoping a companion would be good for her. Anyways, does anyone have any tips, recommendations or stories from introducing two cats to each other? I’ve read about isolating them first and slow introductions, I’m wondering if that worked for you guys. My cat is the type of cat to be terrified when she can’t see what’s happening. At the same time I want to do this whole thing as well as possible, because it’s mainly a cat to make my cat happier, not more overwhelmed.

Found this breeder on instagram and they looked legit but wanted to see if anyone has had any experience with them?

They just love a chair with a sheepskin

Some photos of my two monkeys over the past couple of years ☺️

These two crazies changed our house in so many ways at a time when we both needed it. Best friends and friendly fighters - they could go from cleaning each other to chasing and biting-crying a second later. We lost the alpha a few years ago and his lonely brother still manages to hold it together and has even adopted a few of his alpha brothers traits. Love them while you have them - almost 15 yrs of love from one of these guys is an amazing gift ❤️

This is what Jonesy does after he uses the litter box and I wipe his STANKY ASS 😹🏴‍☠️🦜

This is day three in his new home with us and away from his family so his current occupation is SCREAM

After I saw a video on Instagram by a vet who ranks cat breeds I worry about my cats future. According to this vet the Abyssinian breed comes with a lot of health issues that shorten their lifespan. Now, my cats is luckily healthy but it still worries me. My goal is for her to live as long as possible with me and I’m afraid it won’t happen

She really likes to sit with paws crossed, as if she was judging me
