The Abyssinian is a natural breed of domesticated cat believed to originate from Egypt. The Abyssinian has become one of the most popular shorthair breed of cats in the United States.
The Abyssinian has a distinctly ticked, tawny coat. The tail and paws may show tabby markings, but the body must not. It has large almond-shaped green or gold eyes with a fine dark line around them, and large ears. The coat is generally a warm golden colour, but "Abbys" can also be blue, fawn, cinnamon and red. There is also a Silver Abyssinian variant whose coat shows shades of white, cream and grey.
Abyssinians are very active, friendly, curious and playful, but are usually not "lap cats"; they are too busy exploring and playing.
There is a long-haired version of the Abyssinian, called the Somali.
