Abyssinian cat

12/11/2014

1 Comment

 
The Abyssinian is a breed of domestic shorthaired cat in which each hair is banded with different colors. Kittens are born with dark coats that lighten as they grow over several months. The ticked effect (which is the trademark of the breed) should be uniform all over the body. Each hair has a light base with three or four bands of additional color growing darker towards the tip. The base color should be as light as possible. The typical tabby M shaped marking on the forehead is often found.

The name refers to Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia) from where it's thought to have originated. Recent research now places the origins of the breed in Egypt. British soldiers deployed in the North African coast returned home with kittens purchased from local traders.

The original color standard is the reddish-brown. The sorrel (also known as cinnamon or red) has a lighter base with chocolate brown ticking. Their expressive eyes can be orange, gold, hazel, green or copper. They are medium sized cats.

Abyssinians are very extroverted and extremely smart. They tend to be very close to their owners and are known for getting depressed when they don't get activity and attention from their owners. In-Home cat boarding would be the ideal solution for your Abyssinian if you plan to leave the city for a few days.

KITTY in NY has a wide selection of caregivers in the city. They all love cats but have no pets of their own. They would enjoy taking care of your cat in their apartments while you're away. Contact us as soon as possible with your cat boarding needs. We'll be glad to help you.
