The Backstory of Abyssinian: Part 1#shorts
In this video, we’ll tell the backstory of Abyssinian,
The Abyssinian /aebsnin/ is a domestic short-haired cat with a distinctive “ticked” tabby coat with different colored bands on individual hairs. They are also referred to as Abys.
The name is derived not from Ethiopia, formerly Abyssinia, which is thought to be the original home of these cats, but from the fact that the first “Abyssinians” exhibited in shows in England were said to have been imported from there. According to genetic studies, its true origins are likely to have been along the Indian Ocean’s coast in parts of Southeast Asia, and it was introduced to Abyssinia (and others) by colonialists and merchants passing through Calcutta.
Although previously considered a relatively obscure breed in comparison to others, The Cat Fancier Association and The International Cat Association ranked the Abyssinian among the top five most popular breeds in 2016.
The breed’s distinct appearance, which appears long, lean, and finely colored in comparison to other cats, has been compared to that of human fashion models. The cats’ personalities are typically active and curious, and they frequently follow their owners around and encourage play. [3] Their dog-like characteristics include a strong sense of affection and a strong desire for interaction. With their ticked coat and large erect ears, abys have a distinct wildcat appearance. They are a very social breed that can be quite demanding of attention. Because of their social nature, they do well in multi-cat households. Abyssinians are not lap cats; they are always on the move, either exploring or playing.
