Abyssinians are active, inquisitive, and fearless. They love climbing and getting up into high places. If there aren't enough suitable toys and active play, they will find things to play with, and you might not like their choices! Abys are trainable, but respond best to rewards and encouragement, and react poorly to force or punishment. Preventive dental care is important as many Abys have issues with gingivitis.
