Kiwi is my new, Blue Abyssinian who became part of the family in January 2021 at three months old. Marula, my Ruddy Abyssinian was by herself for five months after her companion, Pebbles, passed away. Marula was almost 2½ years old at the time and extremely energetic and playful. She seemed lonely and bored without a companion. After careful consideration I felt that another cat her same breed would be the best fit, so I set out contacting breeders I knew about their upcoming litters. I was lucky to get Kiwi so quickly. I wanted a male, but all the litters had their kittens reserved - especially males. It looked like mid-2021 was when one might be available. Suddenly (and luckily for me), a person who had this kitten reserved changed his mind and I was offered Kiwi. I couldn’t believe I could get my new kitten in two weeks instead of six months! The introduction process went very smoothly and within a week they were together all the time. Marula still hisses at Kiwi fairly often, since he is a bit rambunctious and can play a bit roughly‑. But they are best friends who nap together on the cat tree and cuddle up next to me in bed every night.
