If you happened to meet a nice, elegant cat that resembles you noble, generous cats, almost like ancient Egyptian statues, be sure an Abyssinian cat is in front of you. Main and the most peculiar feature of these cats is their richly colored tabby coat without any marking on it and other parts of cat’s body as well. All cats are believed to be the descendants of Zula - an Egyptian female kitten, she was taken from Egypt to England.
Appearance
These cats are of medium-size, very elegant with strong bodies and long, rather thin legs. Paws are small. Heads are round with large, pointed ears. Eyes are large and almond-shaped. Tails are long. There are 4 possible colours of Abyssinian cats: ruddy, red, blue and fawn.
Personality
In general, Abys are very intelligent, active and curious cats. They adore their family, most of all they hate being alone, without their family or other pets. They are so social, playful, friendly and loyal. They enjoy heights and exploring new places and their own houses.
Grooming
The Abyssinian’s coat is very easy to clean and take care for. Just brush a coat and then polish it with a damp leather, thus, it will shine.
Abyssinian Cats - Breed Profile
Does anybody know about this site ( http://www.earthlab.com ) ? I have seen other environmental sites with carbon calculators like yahoo and tree huggers, but I am wondering what the deal with earthlab.com is? I saw they also published a list last month of the top ten greenest cities ( http://www.efficientenergy.org/Top-Ten-Green-Cities-in-the-United-States ). Does anyone know if this site is better than the others? Fill me in!
I took their carbon foot print test and it was pretty interesting, they said that I put out 4.5 tons of carbon, does anyone know about any other tests?
Hi Angel,
What a great article. I think my Jackie has some Abyssinian in her bloodline…the rounded head, long legs with small paws. There’s other stuff in there too, but it seems to fit her. Thanks for posting this.
