Abyssinian Cat Guide: The Active Athlete

Breed Overview

The Abyssinian looks like an ancient Egyptian painting come to life, with long legs, large ears, and a uniquely “ticked” agouti coat.

Temperament

They are not a calm lap cat. They are constantly in motion, exploring, climbing on top of doors, and investigating everything you do. They are highly intelligent and require significantly more attention and playtime than standard breeds.
