Ever since my awesome kitty mentor Malayaa gave me a kitty with Jade eyes I have been trying and trying to put jade on an Abyssinian Blue. The kitty she gave me is 281 days old now, to give you an idea of how long I have been working on this combo. I tried various sibling breedings, cross breedings, back breedings, etc. until finally I had my first Blue Jade girl. Now Estebana and her brother are hard at work breeding an army of Aby Blue Jades. Of course, their first kitten skipped over the Jade and went to the Ody Bellini but he's still a cutie too. Even though it took ages, it all worked out in the end because these kitties are much more traited than they would have been if I had got the fur/eye combo I wanted much earlier!
