Today we talk about the Abyssinian cat. It is not very well known, but that does not stop it from being elegant and graceful. Legend has it that the Abyssinian cat was worshipped as a "sacred object" in ancient Egypt and that the Abyssinian cat is a descendant of the ancient Egyptian cat.

The Abyssinian cat is said to be a descendant of the ancient Egyptian cat, because among the preserved mummies of the ancient Egyptian 'sacred cats' is a blood-red cat that resembles it.

Abyssinian cats have always been favored by literary figures, including directors, musicians, and painters, who have drawn inspiration from them, perhaps because they are so much like "cats from frescoes", satisfying people's imagination of an ancient civilization. But because of their appearance, coat color, size, and erect ears, there is also a school of thought that they are closely related to African bobcats.

The Abyssinian cat can impress you with its appearance. While most cats are considered acute species. They are soft and slender, with a muscular body that is not short in stature like the Shorthorn, but full of power and grace, and the Abyssinian cat is known as a ballet cat for its graceful gait. They have tall, slender limbs, long, pointed tails, wedge-shaped faces, large, pointed ears, and almond-shaped eyes that are amber, light brown, or green in color, with expressive eyes that always sparkle.

Abyssinian cats, one of the most popular short-haired breeds in the Americas, are in demand in the UK at a ratio of around 1:10, and many Abyssinian cat lovers often have to reserve their cats from purebred breeders for two years or more before they can get their hands on one. In the US, the price of Abyssinian kittens is on average over $1,800, with higher prices in the UK. In our country, on the other hand, the price is much cheaper.

Their coats are fine, soft, and supple, with a slight change in color to a silky, shiny coat as they move, making them very attractive. The Abyssinian cat often moves gracefully around the room, but always runs to your side as quickly as possible when called. The Abyssinian cat expresses its love for its owner by resting its head deeply against the palm of its hand for a long time.

They are very fond of climbing trees and do not like to be confined to small places. This is why Abyssinian cats are not well suited to the urban flat environment. They are gentle, lively, cheerful, very humane, and have a wealth of affection for people, making them ideal companions.

So how do we select an Abyssinian cat? We must first look carefully at the Abyssinian cat's eyes, nose, and ears. An Abyssinian cat's eyes should be bright, clear, and alive. If the Abyssinian cat has too many eye droppings, the Abyssinian cat may be suffering from a disease.

It is also important that the Abyssinian's cat nose is moist, if the nose is dry, the Abyssinian cat is likely to have a fever. The inside of the Abyssinian cat's ears should be clean. If there is black dirt in the Abyssinian cat's ears, it means that the Abyssinian cat may have mites or other parasites in its body.
