The Aby standard is a complicated one, and there are many things to look for. They all have faults to some degree. There is something wrong with every cat. I think the Aby standard is one of the best-written standards we have. In as much as it is so clear and detailed, it is easier for the judge to find faults, but I definitely disagree that Abys have more faults than the other breeds.
All breeds have good and bad exhibitors.
When I am an exhibitor, I notice that many of the Aby exhibitors are in the rings during the finals, cheering on the winning Abys. There is usually a spirit of camaraderie among the Aby breeders, especially if an Aby is about to grand. I think they are consistently better. Some of my closest friends in the fancy are Aby breeders. Work on coats - length and texture.
