confidence is not lacking in the whole family by the sounds of it. Like i said, Smidgen's older half-brother tackled Shadow and reduced him to a whimpering, apologetic heap (not that it takes much but he is a big dog for a cat to take on)

Amanda did such a good job with them, they are such confident little rascals and sooooo easygoing. Smidgen just leaps up and 'flops' onto me, assuming he will be welcome come what may. And the poor tiny dog next door is terrified of him, simply because Smidgen just lies in a relaxed heap in the dog's yard. The yard was vacant all the time he has lived here so he sees no reason to change his habits, just cos there is a dog there now - the dog has no idea what to do so yelps for its owners to rescue it . :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

i told my sister she couldnt believe it...  they are adorable cats.  i wish we could have taken the whole litter with us to France - i guess i get the next best thing of visiting them at my sisters house.

any  chance of a reunion of siblings?? ;D ;)

we are at opposite ends of the country and I don't own a car (I rented one to go and get him). So I doubt it, any time soon. Of course if Tallulah's problems are not resolved, I would feel obliged to offer her a home  :evillaugh:

Awww, cute photos!  Bertie's (real) mum belongs to a friend of mine, and the other day she found a camera film she hadn't developed and it was full of pics of Bertie as a 2-week-old kitten that I hadn't seen before  :Luv2:

I'm impressed with the complete lack of compunction he showed at trampling his siblings into the earth so that he can get a feed from his mum! Chaos clearly reigned at Amanda's for quite a few weeks then  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Minnie also saw Shadow off when we arrived. Poor Shadow was cowering in the corner of the conservatory being menaced by a large Abby and hoping i would rescue him. Haven't laughed so much in a while!! Lucky you to see them born. As you say, there is no room for doubt about the aby influence. Smidgen is superconfident and up for anything basically - he worried me at first, cos I thought he would get into strife and take on something bigger than him (like the fox over the back fence) but he seems to have plenty of street-sense also, so am less worried by his antics now. If you do a search by Smidgen you will find various video clips around the site ...

Aww  :Luv:  Great pics!

SHe is, yes. The father is a large white barn cat. Mum is now neutered as she was a silent breeder - showed no signs of being in heat until she met her man!!! Hence the mistakes.

Silent heats are quite common with Somalis so I assume they are with Abys too.

love the pics blackcat..

when we were there for the weekend when the kittens were born dad was prowling outside but was seen off by 'minnie' who was mums first child (of course all grown up).

yep mum liked a bit of ruff.. shame as the pure abbys are just so sleek.  the good news is that this litter has more abby than moggie and i think they have all the abby traits.  they are too playful and love heights..

Smidgen, I see has managed to get well settled under his siblings for a good feed - how typical  :Luv: and his poor mother!!! what a bundle of mischief! When I went to collect him he was the only one left, so did not see the bundle of energy that poor Amanda and Ingwe had to put up with!! Maccat, you will not have seen these, but others are probably getting sick of the sight of them. But here are Smidgen on day of arrival (with Shadow) and Smidgen these days with Shadow ...







Hope you get things sorted with Tallulah, don't think Shadow could cope with another member of the family in the house  :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
