Abyssinian

Hi I'm Durer's Delight (Durer to friends) the usual abyssinian on the right and that is my brother on the left Joli Coeur he is a fawn abyssinian. We own a family in cheshire who have a young son called Danté, who is forever chasing us around the house.  There is also a baby (Raphael) who likes to use our tail as a noo noo when sucking his thumb. We also have in the household a grumpy black moggy called Tabatha and our mum Yasmin, who is a usual abyssinian.

We are very active cats and don't like being left alone. I have trained the owners to play fetch with a toy, and when we want a treat as you can see we only have to beg. We have even conned our owners into putting a harness and lead onto us, so we can go and visit lots of different places. Although I'm lucky in that I get outings to cat shows where I get loads of fuss and attention, which is brilliant. My owners get very pleased when I get those round ribbon things. I also now have a very bossy sister called Venus, who gets to sleep in all the best spots.
