First of all I would like to emphasise that I did not choose the name "Kristine" - as a matter of fact, I was against the use of such a name for a male cat. Anyways, that is his name, and he is the eldest of my cats. He was born September 27, 1992, on the day which his mother, Mikki Annovei, died two years later.

Because his mother was so small, and the labor was so hard, we tried to help, by pulling what we thought to be one of the legs. Unfortunately it was a tail, and that's why Rabby's tail is so short. It's important to add that we didn't mean to harm him, that he doesn't suffer from the mistake, and that we treat him extremely well. The rest of the birth was as smooth as can be - Rabby was born to the music of our piano. His two siblings, Fritjof and Nøyfret, have been given to some nice people, because we couldn't keep them for ourselves.

Rabby is very dear to all of us, and he is the kindest cat you can imagine. He has adopted several kittens, believing to be their father - and you couldn't find a more loving and caring father than Rabb. His favorite food is cucumbers, and he has the cute and strange (for a cat) habit of waving with his tail when he's happy.
