The best cat I ever had was an abyssinian, he was a demon for headbutts. He also loved brushing so much you could brush him with a running shop vac brush and he would just sit there loving it. He taught our dogs how to ask to go out and behave.

I've often wished I could have an Abyssinian, but I could never afford one. I suppose it's because they look more like plain old alley cats than most of the purebreds.

Sometimes purebreds get turned in to shelters or rescue groups. There also may be a rescue organization near you that specializes in purebreds in general, or maybe in Abyssinians. Also try www.petfinder.com. And lastly, sometimes breeders have retired adult cats available for less money than they charge for their kittens.

Breeders sometimes have "pet quality" or retired show cats that are inexpensive. Mine was a freebee, some guys roomate moved out and left him. He used to ride around on my shoulders.
