Abyssinian Cat Personality

The Abyssinian cat looks similar to the African wildcat. This cat breed can directly trace her roots to Nile Valley.

In 1860, it was brought to Britain by an army officer Lord Robert Napier from Abyssinian (now Ethiopia).

This cat was named Zulu, and it was the first cat breed referred to today as the Abyssinian cat. At the initial stage, these cats were crossed with British Shorthairs, and later with oriental breeds.
