What are Abyssinian Cats like?
The Abyssinian cat is known for its large ears and playful personality. Weighing between 8-12 pounds and up to 16 inches in length, they are muscular, solid cats. Abys have a dense, smooth and silky coat of medium length. They were bred for a distinct ticking pattern that resembled wild rabbits. Registered Abyssinian breeders will have kittens for sale with ruddy, red (sorrel), fawn, blue and silver.
Abyssinian cats are known to be energetic and playful, making them an entertaining although potentially tiring pet.

When considering an Abyssinian for your family, know that their athletic and curious nature will bring them into every closet and cabinet they can get into. If you and your family are frequently away from home, consider getting your Aby a playmate or choosing a less inquisitive breed.

I have had two interests since I was very young… the Internet and cats. I grew up with two lovely cats in my family, Midnight and Chloe. But when I started looking for a cat as an adult, I realized how few reliable resources there are for finding ethical breeders. So I combined my Internet skills and cat knowledge to create Cat Kingpin, the #1 resource for cat breeders online. Have a question or suggestion for my list? You can reach me here.
