Native to Abyssinia (now Ethiopia)

The Abyssinian cat is one of the oldest known breeds.

The origin of the name is not because its homeland is in Ethiopia (formerly known as Abyssinia), but because the report of the first "Abyssinian Cat Show" in the UK stated that it was imported from Ethiopia. The first mention of this cat was in Harper's Weekly (January 27, 1872), and it appeared in the third place at the Crystal Palace Show in December 1871.

Around 1860, the ancient Egyptian cat was brought back to Britain from Abyssinia (now Ethiopia) by a British officer. After careful breeding and improvement by many cat lovers, it quickly spread. However, it was not until 1929 that the breed standard for this type of cat was established, and then the Abyssinian Cat Fanciers Club was established. Due to World War II and the epidemic of feline leukemia in 1960 and 1970, this cat was almost extinct in the UK. Later, it was introduced from abroad and carefully bred to form today's Abyssinian cat.

The Abyssinian cat is known as the ballet cat because of its graceful gait. The fur color of the Abyssinian cat is similar to that of a hare, and the British also call it a rabbit cat or a ball cat. The Abyssinian cat is dignified, noble, solemn, and born with an imperial appearance. In addition, its red and yellow, different shades, unpredictable, gorgeous fur, and a dark ring around its eyes, like eyeliner, make many cat lovers fall in love with it. The Abyssinian cat is the aristocrat among short-haired cats and one of the most popular short-haired cats in the world, especially popular among cat lovers in North America. However, the reproduction rate of Abyssinian cats is not very high, so it is also very rare and precious.

The Abyssinian cat has a gentle personality and is lively and cheerful. It likes to live in a relatively spacious environment, likes to move freely, and does not want to be confined to a small place, so it is not suitable for keeping in an apartment. This cat likes to live alone, is good at climbing trees, has a light body, a gentle temperament, and is very human. It is an ideal companion.
