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. |
