Abyssinian cat

Description

The Abyssinian, colloquially known as the Aby, is a standardised breed of cat with a distinctive "ticked" tabby coat, in which individual agouti hairs are banded with different colours. The breed's distinctive appearance, seeming long, lean and finely coloured compared to other cats, has been analogised to that of human fashion models. Abys have a distinctive wildcat look with their ticked coat and large erect ears. They are a highly social breed and can be demanding for attention. They do well in multi-cat households due to their social nature. Not a lap cat, Abyssinians are in constant motion, either exploring or playing.
