Abyssinian cats are one of the oldest known cat breeds. According to legend, Abyssinian cats are descendants of ancient Egyptian cats, which were worshipped in temples. This breed became most popular in the late XIX century, Abyssinian kittens began to be brought for sale in England from the colony of Abyssinia in North Africa, hence their name.
Abyssinians are known for their unique features and distinctive appearance. They have a lean, slender body with a wedge-shaped head and large, expressive almond-shaped eyes that give them a sly squint. This breed has a short coat, thick and decorated with "agouti" stripes that give the kitten the appearance of a wild cat.
The rarest Abyssinian kittens have pronounced contrasting shades of fur. They have a rich ruddy coat in a color range from burnt sienna to dark red with dark lines. Protruding ears with small tassels give the kittens an exotic appeal. This breed is very athletic and agile.
The Abyssinian breed, often called the Abi, combines charm and elegance. They are the feline embodiment of grace.
If we talk about the character of these cats we can say that they are very active, so you will need to provide them with a specialised place for climbing and jumping. By nature these cats are very active and curious, so be prepared for your kitten to be everywhere!
Abyssinians are very attached to their home, so if you are often away from home for long periods of time, you may want to consider another breed. They don't tolerate the cold very well.
Although Abyssinians are adorable in every way, there are some things to keep in mind:
Because of their active nature, adult cats can be prone to injury although this is extremely rare. Keep a balanced diet. For the normal development of the kitten, buy high quality food, and do not skimp on their nutrition.Such active cats are best occupied with puzzle toys to satisfy their natural curiosity and hunter instincts.
Abyssinians shed, but their short coat makes grooming relatively easy. Regular brushing will help minimise the amount of fluffy hair in your home.
The Abyssinian kitty is a stunning combination of beauty, playfulness and affection. Your children will always have someone to play with!

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about ordering, delivery, and kitten care
What is the Abyssinian temperament like?
Abyssinians are active, curious, and highly social cats. They love to explore, climb, and stay close to their people. They do best in homes where someone can give them daily playtime and attention.
Are Abyssinian kittens good for families with children?
Yes. Abyssinians are playful and tolerant, which makes them a strong match for families with older children who enjoy interactive play. As with any kitten, supervise young kids and teach gentle handling.
How much grooming does an Abyssinian need?
Abyssinians have a short, ticked coat that needs minimal grooming. A weekly brush is usually enough to reduce shedding and keep the coat glossy. Regular nail trims and dental care are still important.
