There's albino and there's lethals.. Lethals have small eyes, are usually blind, sometimes have no teeth and are all white.
They usually don't live as long as other guinea pigs and need a lot more care.
If it's just white.. with red eyes and isn't a lethal… that isn't rare.
Nice info.
However, I must make a comment about this:
“There is no thing as an outdoor cat” WHAT?!?
This phrase has such an amount of anthropomorphous content, fallacy, idiocy, an other things that I wouldn’t know where to start, so I will just say that as humans, cats are animals that appeared in nature, outdoors, not inside a house, that’s their normal habitat, if there are dangers, that’s the way of nature, don’t be so arrogant as to dictate where a living being should live.
we had three such cats in punjab pakistan and they were able to look after themselves outdoors….its like saying put a leash on kids as its a dangerous world with cars etc…most if not all cats learn quickly of local danger points
The Aby is NOT from Ethiopia. There have never been cats in Ethiopia that looked like that. It’s a myth. There is, however, a cat in the Museum of Natural Hystory in Leiden, The Netherlands that has genetically been proven to be an Aby. It was imported from India around the Gulf of Bengal region. The latest theory is that our breed originated from that area, so the narrator was quite correct.
it is for the welfare of the cat. naturally, a cat breeder would insist on getting their cat neutered or spayed to prevent overpopulation, yes, but also to prevent Feline AIDS and other feline STDs which can and do exist. maybe if they're not that caring, they just do it to avoid competition. But either way, i appreciate those who do say those things. hope i helped.
Our outside is not a natural environment. Cars and other dangers lurk. An outdoor run or a leash is a safe alternative. And cats that have never been outdoors do not miss it, trust me.

All breeds have about the same average lifespan, which is around 16 years.

Guinea pigs can measure 20-40.5cms in length. Some wild guinea pigs can be as long as a meter.

Usually people refer to them as "Abys" for short.

He was not petting the cat backwards, he was showing the ticking. Judges do it all the time.
