Abyssinian cats
The overall impression of the ideal Abyssinian would be a colourful cat with a distinctly short ticked coat, that is to say each shaft of hair has three bands of colour to it plus the base colour. It is this ticking that gives the Aby this rather special "jungle" look. It is medium in size, lithe and regal in appearance. An Aby generally speaking is a very people oriented cat; it is affectionate but not a constant lap cat, rather a cat that likes to be with people. A cat that wants to be included in all family activities, that has to know what you are doing - likes to help you get something out of the cupboard, brush your teeth, make your bed and help you read your newspaper. Whatever it is an Abyssinian has a very high level of activity and will want to become totally involved. If this activity would annoy you then an Aby is not for you.
The history of the abyssinian cat goes back to the middle 1800's. Abyssinian cats were imported from Ethiopia to Britain. The abyssinian breed came about because cat breeders wanted an Egyptian-like cat. Abyssinian cats for the most part have a sweet temperament, are intelligent and are usually obedient.
Abyssinians are highly intelligent, extroverted & active cats. They they love people & like to be included in everyday family life. Abyssinian cats often enjoy a game of fetch with their human companions. They are not an overly talkative cat & have a quiet voice.
