Abyssinian cats
are known for their elegant body, short hair, and intelligence.
They're also one of the oldest known breeds — although their exact
origin is unknown. Whatever may be the case, it's clear that these
cats are the perfect companion for almost anyone due to their
unusual loyalty. The Abyssinian has a friendly and outgoing
personality, so it loves to play and hates being alone.
Temperament
Seemingly always in motion, she'll slow down occasionally to
curl up next to you on the couch or in bed. Although independent, she
does best with another Aby companion to match her high activity levels
while you're away. Abyssinians love attention from you and respectful
children and get along well with cat-friendly dogs, as well as other
pets, like large parrots and ferrets.
Characteristics
The Abyssinian has a wedge-shaped, yet rounded head with broad ears
and almond-shaped eyes in shades of gold or green. Her body is
muscular and athletic, but slim, and supported by fine-boned legs.
