Active, intelligent and loving, Abyssinians breathe life into any household. They're loyal, love a good shoulder ride and are apt to teach their owners to play fetch. |
| Appearance: |
Abyssinians dazzle observers with "ticked" fur that glistens with bands of color, particularly in sunlight. Lithe and graceful, these elegent cats are often described as a happy medium between the cobby body type of the American Shorthair and svelte Siamese. |

Abyssinian
CAT PROFILE
Today's Abyssinian retains a resemblance to the noble cats depicted in ancient Egyptian statues. The breed sports a ticked, richly colored tabby coat without markings on legs, tail and neck, but with dramatic facial markings. The Aby comes in four coat colors: ruddy, red, blue and fawn. Not a lap cat, the Aby is nonetheless among the most loyal and highly intelligent of breeds..
