The Abyssinian cats are short-haired cats that have strong and elegant personalities. These cats are often considered to be one of the oldest cats that were domesticated in the world.
The breed probably has Egyptian origin and has been closely related to the sacred long-eared Egyptian cats that are seen in the pictures of the Egyptian pharaohs.
The most important feature of the Aby or Abby cats is their richly colored ticked tabby coat.They are of medium length and have muscles that are well-developed.
