Cedarwood Rocket Man of Aksum
Born June 8, 2010

Rocket is from Cedarwood Abyssinians in upstate New York. He is our newest stud boy, double registered in TICA and CFA. Rocket is Baja's brother (same sire, their mothers are full sisters) and is a ruddy like his sister. He is a sweet boy, a real purrbaby!

Rocket came home with three 2nd BoB Aby Kitten ribbons in his first CFA show and three finals ribbons in his first TICA show!

Rocket has sired his first litters of kittens, born April 9 (Piper), May 11 (Dancer), June 29 (Sky), August 14 (Piper) and August 16 (Moonlight). Unfortunately, although his kittens are all beautiful and sweet, there were only one or two in each litter of kittens, so we have retired Rocket and given him to a friend.

Alexy Hot Rod Lincoln of Aksum is a red male Aby. He is an excellent example of this new sex-linked red color. Linc is one of those "perfect Abys" with a totally fearless, extremely friendly personality and very nice conformation.

Neutered February 2, 2011

Linc is Aksum's first in-house stud and also the first foundation stud in our sex-linked red breeding program. His color is (sex-linked) Red with Chocolate carrying Cinnamon and Dilute.

Bruce Alexy was generous enough to allow us to have Linc as our gorgeous and rare sex-linked red stud boy. We took him home with us at four months old on October 2, 2008.

We had our first litter from Linc and Candy born April 13, 2010. There were five kittens - a chocolate male, a cinnamon male, two chocolate torbie females, and one lilac torbie female Blue River Abyssinians kept as one of their foundation queens.

Our second litter of kittens from Linc and Dancer were born September 22, 2010. There are two kittens - a chocolate male who went as a pet, and a chocolate torbie female, also a pet.

DNA testing from UC Davis confirmed December 5, 2008 that Linc is chocolate carrying cinnamon and dilute. UC Davis also confirmed Linc is PK Def and PRA negative.

Linc was retired in January 2011 and neutered on February 2, 2011. He will go to the same loving forever home that his half brother Temur enjoys now. :-) We hope to have his sex-linked red half brother (same mother) here in 2012.

Alexy Temur Khan of Aksum is a gorgeous chocolate male. His sweet, beautiful face, nicely balanced head and body, and big well-placed ears are all excellent Abyssinian traits that we look forward to seeing in future generations here at Aksum.

Born March 2, 2009
Neutered March 30, 2010

Temur was Aksum's second in-house stud and also the first foundation stud in our chocolate breeding program. He was born on March 2, 2009. He has a rich beautiful chocolate color.

Temur's handsome sire, Alexy Kubla Khan, is also the father of our red and chocolate stud Alexy Hot Rod Lincoln of Aksum. Temur's mother, Alexy Pretty Woman, is one of the larger Alexy Abyssinians queens and one of the most beautiful.

Temur is a lot larger than most Abyssinians at 11 lbs. He is a big, sweet boy. Just look at the size of those paws!

Temur and Dancer had three kittens on April 14, 2010. Their kittens are: chocolate male (pet), cinnamon female (pet), lilac female (show/breeder quality to OhMy Abyssinians). Temur and Dancer both carry cinnamon and the dilute gene.

Temur and Sky had two kittens on June 21, 2010 - sex-linked red and cream boys - who went to their new pet home together.

Temur has been retired to live a life of luxury with "His Special Person" who already bonded with him when he was a kitten. :-)
