While
maintaining a degree of aristocracy, Abys are gentle,
bold, playful,
and extremely busy - always seeking an active
part in every ongoing
event. They are extremely intelligent,
always loyal and excellent
at training people. Abyssinians have dynamic personalities, are
very sociable and get along with
other pets and people. They
make loving companions, are
very affectionate and they want to "help"
with everything.
Abyssinians are quite independent.

Abyssinians
are prized in-door cats and are normally lithe,
muscular and of
medium length. They have rounded wedge-
shaped heads, expressive
gold or green almond-shaped
eyes, and large, moderately pointed
ears. The Aby's most
striking feature is its beautiful ticked tabby
coat, which is medium
in length and fine in texture. The characteristic
tabby "M" typically
appears on the forehead. According
to the CFA, there were
1,683 new Abyssinian registrations in the
year 2000, making the
Aby the 5th most popular breed overall and
the 3rd most
popular shorthair. |
