Abyssinian Cats for stud in Manningtree, Suffolk

Abyssinians are affectionate but not typically lap cats; they prefer interactive play and being near their owners rather than long periods of sitting on laps, thriving best in homes where their social and mental stimulation needs are met.

Abyssinian kittens from reputable breeders usually cost between $1,200 and $2,400, while adoption fees from shelters or rescues range from $100 to $250, though Abyssinians are less commonly found in shelters.

While Abyssinians are highly intelligent and often compared to the 'dogs of the cat world' for their trainability, Siamese cats are generally regarded as having the highest IQ among domestic cat breeds.
