Abyssinian House Cat

Abyssinian domestic house cat face featured at house cats central

The Abyssinian cat is believed by some to be one of the oldest breeds of domestic house cats, but this cat's past is shrouded in darkness. Over 120 years ago people nicknamed this unique domestic  cat "the child of the Gods", because of it's light reflecting coat and the cat breed's enchanting and radiant temperament. British officers returning from  Ethiopia where they had been fighting in the Abyssinian War in 1868 brought many  of this beautiful cats back to London. Researchers later went to Ethiopia to try to find the origin of this golden cat with amber colored eyes. They were unable to find any street cats with this same marking, but eventually found very similar cats in India. It still remains a mystery if these "bunny cats" were brought to Ethiopia on merchant or war ships.

Abyssinian domestic house cat featured at House Ctas Central

The overall impression of the ideal Abyssinian would be a colorful cat with a distinctly ticked coat, medium in size and regal in appearance. The Abyssinian is lithe, hard and muscular, showing eager activity and a lively interest in all surroundings. Abyssinian cats are well balanced temperamentally and physically with all elements of the cat in proportion. When an Abyssinian cat shows interest in a person they can rarely resist this domestic house cat's charm, grace and determination. The first Abyssinian was shown in London in 1871 at the Crystal Palace, and this domestic house cat breed was recognized and established in 1883. Today's Abyssinian cats have remained virtually unchanged with the only exception being a few new added colors.

The first Abyssinians to be imported to North America from England arrived in the early 1900s, but it was not until the late 1930s that several top quality Abyssinian's were exported from Britain to form the foundation of today's American breeding programs. There is probably no breed anywhere more loyal than the Abyssinian. Once you have acquired this domestic house cat as a companion, you will never be able to complain that no one understands you. Abyssinians are very good at training people to do just what they want them to do!
