How did you all decide on the color of your Abys?
The Aby pictured above is not mine. I do not take credit for the image.
My breeder has been nothing but wonderful and kind. They currently have every color of Aby available in a litter, which I'm due to reserve from soon, and I cannot for the LIFE of me seem to commit to a final pick.
I wanted an Aby for two things: friendliness (for meeting friends and family) and activity level (for an outdoor explorer buddy - with a tracker, harness, and chip). I can't meet any of the litter personally beforehand, as it's a multi-state drive...
..and due to that, I feel a little stuck. Obviously my love is unconditional even if this cat turns out to be a sleepy antisocial kitty, but my breeder suggested a pick of the litter based on those two traits (a fawn). I'm tempted to listen to their wisdom because they've raised litters for years.
Before I talked with my breeder personally, my heart was SET - lock and key - on a blue, only a blue. Then my breeder sent me pictures, and now I'm seemingly in love with ALL of them. How does that happen?? How are all of the babies so cute??
Do any of you have a "hates everyone but me" cat or a "lazy" Aby / one that hates going outside? How much do individual personalities matter in this breed? How much are their breeds' traits built-in?
Lastly.. could you all post pictures of your adult Abys in the comments? I'm only seeing this litter as kittens, and I have no idea how they'll look as adults! I hope these questions don't sound ridiculous.
