Abyssinian Cats A Most Popular Breed

I've often wondered what life would be like if I were owned by an Abyssinian Cat. They are quite a popular breed of cat that comes with a pedigree. My husband and I have been adopted by a tortoiseshell cat named Patches and a tabby cat named Chessie. They are not cats with a pedigree of any sort but we love them just the same. They have captured our hearts and we let them order us around with their specific needs and we often laugh that they have us trained well.

From afar I have always thought that the Abyssinian breed of cat was uniquely different with its coat of fur that looks like rabbit fur to me. Such a regal and unusual cat. I recently found an article written by Katherine Tyrrell who writes under the name of makingamark that gives some great resources and information about Abyssinian Cats. Katherine also introduces us to Polly with an original colored pencil sketch that is really remarkable.

The Abyssinian has become one of the most popular breeds of short hair cats in the United States. These cats have a silky fur and the name Abyssinian refers to Ethiopia. Most people, however; feel that these cats originated in Egypt and they do look very similar the the Egyptian drawings of cats. No one is certain where these lovely cats really originated though.

If I were ever chosen by a pedigreed cat to be the human of note in their life, I think I would love to be adopted by an Abyssinian. They are an intelligent cat, playful, and extroverts in their nature. This breed of cat is not known for being lap cats but are extremely playful and full of energy. It might take some getting used to not having a cat on my lap in the evenings but watching their curious adventures would be fun. Go on over and visit the article by makingamark and find out a little more about this popular breed of cat.
