Oh Panther, that's QUITE a fine kitten you have there!! Unfortunately the pic of Bindi didn't come through on my p.c....maybe you could attach it to me via email?
Somalis dont get their ful coat/ticking until they are over or at 18 months so he'll prob change alot as he gets older. The tail will get busher and he will have a pretty coat but other than that he'll be an Aby at heart.
I know I wanted have a bangel/ but later learned of its history and decided against it. Abys had the right temp but I wanted longer hair, so thats how Leopalorn came to us, Much much better childhood history then where Bindi came from.
Well, sounds like he fits the bill in terms of the look and temperament you were looking for, as well as being a fine, healthy kitten and a good companion to Bindi, who seems to have overcome his traumatic childhood just fine and to be the picture of health! They and Tom are some very FINE cats!
I dont think Bindi's childhood/begining was tramatic, it was just unlucky he probably wouldnt have had a childhood if the woman didnt rescue the mom or he would have been feral. After coming to live wth me he was wanted and loved,thats all that matters. ( I think the woman loved Bindi but he and mom and the others werent wanted until I came)
Leopalorn however was wanted right from the begining and was raised, pritty good, maybe not as socalizd as Bindi but MUCH better health/ has had two of the 3 boosters right when I got him, Bindi had none and had fleas does that matter in the end, no, they both got loved.
